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.

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.

22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the supported version

Includes some bug fixes since 2.2.9 plus the full Chinese, French and Spanish translations (thanks guys). Should work fine with all versions of vb3.6 and vb3.7.

It says it's for both 3.6 and 3.7 and I had installed 2.2.8 then upgraded to see if it fixed the problem, and it didn't.

Hmm... i'm really new to sync, but I think your setup should work. Maybe you need to configure something for subcategories.

Please wait for Andrew, I'm sure he has a better idea.

I'm having a little trouble after installing 2.2.9-post2. The new image permissions don't seem to work correctly. I have it set so that two of the three Usergroups that can post links, can also add thumbnails. However, the thumbs do not show. There is a space where the thumb should be, but the image is not there.

Thanks for your help,

James

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to add a simple border around the edge of images in the photo gallery? Even if it is a simple black-line border? The example gallery shown on the following documentation page shows that the images in the gallery don't have any borders, but is it possible to customise this layout to include a border?

What about changing the alignment / positioning of the images on the page? Does this mod have such features to change the layout of the photo library page?

[obmob]

Try applying the "tborder" class around the image code, use a:

<div class="tborder">image code goes here</div>

That should do the trick

I have tried and tried and tried to layout links in one category as follows:

Category
-Sub Categories
--List of Links, with Title and a few link details (Hits, rating, etc.) but not all the content
---Clicking on Link Title shows link content, which in my case is a fair amount of text, images and a download file

I have read the user guide, tried every possible configuration but cannot get it to lay out the way I described above. What I get is the Category, with a list of Sub-categories. Clicking on a Sub-Category shows all the links and every piece of link content (text, images, etc.) for each link. Since my entries in this section will have a fair amount of text, images, and attributes, I do not want to show all that with the link listings. Rather, I would like my users to click on the link title to see the content for that link and to then be able to download the attachment.

My question is, is that possible to accomplish? Thanks for any direction you can offer.

Another question. In my directory structure, one has to make a few clicks before getting to the new categories so I would like more parent categories flagged with new entries.

Is it possible to control how many parent categories are flagged when a new entry is added? I don't recall seeing a setting for this.

My registered users are restricted to 2 downloads a day. I have a user who belongs to no other user group:



The Registered group is set to 2:



And yet he can download many more than that:



Any clue?

Hi Mr Andrew;

Bug report:
With can_edit_link and no can_select_category and no can_admin_links permission, when local_links.php generates editlink form ldm_construct_category_list() returns null, so no $optbit, so no pcatid[] input array in form, so ll_error_category standard error will be returened when form submitted.

How to fix:
local_links.php (line 1328) in "editlink" area
"can_add_link" permission should be "can_edit_link"
