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.

I started testing the flv and xml jmplayer, Im getting this now

Call to undefined function: strripos() in /home/username/public_html/forum/includes/local_links_players.php(391) : eval()'d code on line 5

Ill keep poking at it and post if I find out what it is, I figured it is some addon i dont have installed or something.

*Edit*
Looks like it only does it when I set xmlJWplayer_active to yes. when I set this to yes I get the error with flv and xml.

This is a problem caused by your version of php (4). I usually manage to trap this one so will take a look at the xmlJW player to see what I forgot.

Ill try upgrading my php version

Could someone please tell me if this will work for files lets say over 100+Mb and is it ready for 3.7 RC 4?

Thank you,

[RikiB]

well that seemed to work, going from php4 to 5.2.5, however one terrifying thing is my categories are gone on the download page, nothing is there.
yikes, I better check all my settings!

*Edit*

Everything fixed, thanks again Andrew, I needed to upgrade to php5 anyway.

Thank you,

I saw a fix in the changelist that says the 100+MB now works in IE7, I cant say about RC4 though, Im still on 3.6.9

Thank you,

It will be fully ready with the 3.7 RC4 CSRF fix this weekend (unless something goes badly wrong ). I think the current beta code will also be fine with RC4, except that does not have the CSRF fix in it.

The standard uploading code works with any size of file, provided that your php and other site settings are adequate (max_post_size, etc). However, large form based uploads tend to be problematic - this is not an LDM problem, it's inherent in the method.

The swfupload 'extra' gives you a progress bar and better recovery handling for large diagnostics. According to the information provided via Adobe, etc, it should only work up to 100Mb, however, I (and others) have found that it works fine with bigger files. Again, you have to have the php settings correct.

Thank you AndrewD. Would you know the day the rc4 one will come out..?

I'm just tidying up at the moment. I imagine it will be tomorrow.

it only happens when i am directly in the LDM section itself.

Thanks In Advance

I think that this is a bug in the LDM 2.2.9 beta, which I've since fixed. There will be a new version very soon.
