Ah thank you, i didn't realise that one needed to be filled in, id left it blank so it would use the value of Thumbnail Size from the VB admincp. Putting 0 in didn't work either, but i changed it to 120 and it now works thanks

great product! but when i tried to navigate through the subfolders from the main site at http://forum.xxx.com/ while being logged in, i get logged out and i realise this is due to a change in the URL from http://forum.xxx.com/ to http://www.xxx.com/forum/.

Is there anyway to work around it? thanks in advance!

Take a look at the forum url you have set up on your vb admincp/options/site name url. LDM picks this up and uses it in the urls

Andrew,

I have carefully gone through the permissions in general and have ensured unregistered can download attachments (obviously including asx now) but not see the thread this is because I only want registered users to actually be able to get downloads as an encouragement to join in general - the test radio stream now loads up with the Jukebox. So it looks as if permissions was the problem.

Still cannot access upload radio stations however - although this is not critical

cheers

hi andrew, thanks! it worked!

[juzernie]

another quick question. i got this message which says,

"Possible inconsistencies between LDM and its environment
- upload_max_filesize 64M > post_max_size 10M in php.ini file - Large uploads may fail without warning"

all i know is the upload max file size is bigger than the post max size. what is the difference between these 2 and is there any setting which i can amend to get rid of the message?

These are parameters in the php.ini file which controls your web server. They both place limits on the maximum size of uploads. There is a potential problem when post_max_size is smaller than upload_max_filesize. If a user tries to upload a file that is bigger than post_max_size but smaller than upload_max_filesize, some versions of php are unable to give proper error messages. The solution is that post_max_size should be set to a value that is bigger than upload_max_filesize

Yes, I know what the problem is. I will upload the fix when I have the chance.

Thanks! :3

Is there any way you can allow for multiple attachments and multiple images per entry? That would be killer.
