Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

What this is and does

LDM is a general-purpose tool for managing libraries of links and files, and handling uploads and downloads in a flexible way, while tracking and control user access. It has a range of integrated media players and a large library of 'plugin' extras.

Installation and Usage Explained in the on-line Wiki, with a brief explanation in the file instructions.txt in the release zip. The recent revision history is given in the first post of this thread.

Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread.

14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is now the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8. Please post comments in this thread

22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the previous supported version. Works fine with all versions of vb 3.6 and vb 3.7. All standard features except profile integration and forum prefix selection work fine with vb 3.8.

Anyway, the DLM hack is already very good - the more users that use it to test it etc the better it will become, esp other requesting for extra features etc. The support is excellent. If any of you are using this hack, please give an honest vote and click installed.

Thanks for this hack and the time you spend on it to improve it etc @ AndrewD!

Cheers,
Chris.

Thanks, Chris. I don't take too much notice of the votes (never sure why people vote how they do), but be aware that there is a separate forum for version 3.6 of vbulletin, with 785 installations, and for version 3.5 with 343 installations and for vb 3.0 with 253 installations

It's been under development since 2004 and the code base is now something like five times the original size. Up to vb 3.5, it did not handle uploads, for example.

woot! finally updated

3.70 RC1 and 2.2.9a4 - working ... mostly (see below)


bug?
I can't get category icons to show. (even if using FULL url)
eg: http://www.unrealaddicts.com/forums/local_links.php
"music to frag to" category
should be this: http://www.unrealaddicts.com/forums/linksdownloads/icons/music-to-frag-to-Clan-TSU.jpg


The image path shows up missing the forums root folder
eg (wrong url --missing /forums/) :

http://www.unrealaddicts.com/linksdownloads/icons/music-to-frag-to-Clan-TSU.jpg

(category edit >> control settings is set relative to forum root for cat icons).


But I also get this error when use full url

The following settings are invalid:
cat_icon (http://www.unrealaddicts.com/forums/linksdownloads/icons/music-to-frag-to-Clan-TSU.jpg) Cannot find icon 'Array' - specify relative to forum directory or use full url
cat_icon_new (http://www.unrealaddicts.com/forums/linksdownloads/icons/music-to-frag-to-Clan-TSU.jpg) Cannot find icon 'Array' - specify relative to forum directory or use full url

You are lucky, I can't even create any categories. No error showed up, just won't write to DB, so can't create categories.
