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.

Is there anyway we could add a custom BBCode and put the linkID for example and it would add it to the thread or post?

On my own site, I use a simple bbcode definition

[link=NNN]Title[/link]

defined as

<a href="local_links.php?action=jump&id={option}" target="_new">{param}</a>

I also use

[linkcat=NNN]Title[/link]

defined as

<a href="local_links.php?catid={option}" target="_new">{param}</a>

to jump to a category

Thank you again for this work. I have a problem with the display of my entries. It shows me 5 per page instead of 10. On the first page, for example, I have the entrees 1 to 5 and on the second page 10 to 15 ...

I know it has not disappeared because I found using the search function. How can they be seen again?

Thank you for your help and sorry for my language.

Hi Andrew, thank you for the update.
The new phrase in chinese is "在分类顶部显示版主列表".

Hmm.... I was trying to add a link to a torrent file, i have this on my forum filetypes... when i tried to save i got an error message that said something like this:

"Sorry - links to offsite downloads have been disabled. "

Where do i enable this? O.o

Thanks u.u

EDIT:

Hmm... I figured it out, is it better to try hosting all files instead of using direct links to the files in other sites?

Sorry to hear this. to debug these problems I need access to your site or a backup of the LDM database tables. Send me a PM and we can work out how to solve this problem.

There's a bug in the page builder when entries have different display orders. It was caused by a late change I made in the 2.2.9 code. I think the attached includes/local_links_include.php file will fix it. Please can you let me know.

04.06.08 Important - there's a bug in the version of includes/local_links_include.php in the zip file, which causes problems when you set up entries with different display_orders. I've uploaded a new version of this file into the head post of this thread and will combine the files into a new zip in a few days.
