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.

On a side note, I accidentally removed the file download display int he user profile. Where it shows the last files they downloaded and when. How do I get that back?

Thanks!

Andrew,

I hate to bother you. but when I go to edit an entry in LDM. I get this:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."

I dont understand this, and yes I just got through updating to the latest greatest verion

Thanks in Advance

Have you edited any of the LDM templates, e.g. with an earlier version?

The error message is being generated by the latest version of vbulletin, as part of the CSRF security checks. All templates are now supposed to include a security token to prove that they came from the site itself. As far as I know, the latest version of LDM is consistent in using these tokens.

Andrew,

No i did not edit any of the templates. i did the RC1, and beyond regular VB upgrades till it came out as 3.7 but before i did teh 3.7 version (still in RC versions) I did the 2.2.9 RC-1 of your version.

Then went after i see it said upgraded (your Mod) i did a upgrade today, thats when it started to do that, then all of a sudden (not adding any extras from your extra folder yet) suddenly it stated that the LDM was shut down by the board administration.

So as soon as I seen that happen (owning a server) I went and pulled a prior backup of the whole site to restore the LDM. so my members could use it.

I do not know aht happened. I remember another time long ago in the 3.6.x version you came over and said to (I think) delete all the plug-ins for LDM, and re install them. (I Think) cause I believe you mentioned that it would interfear with the newest version you did.

So I am stuck. I want to have this and get it upgraded so what when you are out or RC versions I can get the latest going. but worried that something may go wrong.

Any suguestions??

Sorry to hear this. I'm on my way to the office now, but can take a look this evening if you like - send me a PM with site details.

I updated mine from a 3.5.2 version to 3.7 and it is working great! Thanks for a very nice hack Andrew, I nominated this for MOTM.
