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.

PS: i use FF 2.0.0.13

May I take a look, please.

Just to confirm, the new code I posted yesterday works fine for me with FF 2.0.0.13 in both inline and popup modes. The bugs I fixed were with the popup mode, so worth checking that you have actually uploaded the includes file.

Just downloaded it to my test board, haven't got my head around it all yet, but it looks absolutely amazing so far.

*allow_http_ranges* option added to enable site to disable partial range requests, e.g. to limit server load caused by download managers

Hi Andrew, could you tell me where to enable or disable in LDM? I can't seem to find the option on or off. Thank you

Regards,

Mike

Are you sure you've updated all the code to the latest 2.2.9 and then reinstalled the product xml?

Oh no, in why who's online I see this:
Guest
/forum/local_links.php?action=jump&id=16&catid=7 Accessing content from Downloads
This is the first time I have seen it but if there is a way someone was able to easily hack into the files that would be a travesty. Is there anyway to figure out how this happened? Im using Alpha4

edit: it may not be so bad, if anyone puts in that direct link it will say that, doesnt mean they can actually download the file, so not a big deal I guess. The hits stats doesnt say that a guest has downloaded anything.

I hope that they cannot get past the security that you have set. VBulletin's 'Who's online' simply captures where people are currently looking - as you say, it says nothing about what happens. If the LDM hit logs tell you there have been no accesses by guests, you should be ok. Perhaps worth testing the security by loggin out from vbulletin and clearing cookies, then keying in the 'jump' url and see what happens. I hope you will get a 'no permission' message.
