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 would love to use this mod. However ive tried two times and couldnt get it working on each due to the dir root errors etc, no doubt due to the php.ini settings.

However, I have a question; is it possible to install this mod on one domain, and have the uploads folder on another?

I ask this because like I say my domain has problems with the directories (probably as it is windows too), but my friend has a linux domain which would be worth a shot using.

Any help appreciated

You can upload your files in second server/domain and submit thats url instead of uploading

Sycoloco, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

   1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

Hmm... don't forget to set your member's permissions

Is it not possible to moderate user-comments before they are displayed on the website?

Someone please help, I'm trying to include some HTML formatting in my entry layout, and although the formatting does correctly display the first time it is submitted and applied, the HTML code reverts back to bbCode format and the HTML code does not show up in the editer window when the same entry is edited again. For example if I apply the bold attribute in HTML around a text like this: <b>This text is bold</b>, when the entry is edited again the HTML code does not remain in this way but changes to bbCode format: [ b] This text is bold [/b]. This causes problems because I need the HTML code to remain in the exact way I enter them in order to apply the required formatting to the entry using HTML. I've checked my LDM settings and HTML input is enabled in entries. If anyone has any idea what I am talking about and can offer some advice on how to solve this, please let me know. How can I prevent the WYSYWIG editer from automatically converting HTML code into bbCode?

EDIT: I've just noticed that this problem only accurs with the Advanced WYSIWYG editor but not the Standard editor, so switching to the standard version solves the problem.

I noticed one small issue for the Attributes option. The Attributes display order works for the presentation of the link but does not order correctly in Add Entry form. I don't know what the order is for the Add Link form but it is not consistent with the Display Order identified in the Admin Panel.

One other suggestion for Attributes, allow for adding a required option per attribute. I find that Attributes will be very powerful for me but there is no way for me to identify specific attributes (not all of them) that I would like my members to enter.

are you logged in as an admin and have you reviewed the permission-settings for that category? There are general/global permissions and also category-specific permissions.

Maybe its only me.. but probably I am doing something wrong....

Talking about Keywords..
(this is only theoretical.. but i plan to have it running in couple of weeks)

I set up LDM as a simple link directory with 16 categories...
Users add links with title, description AND Keywords..
Suppose every user adds 5 keywords.. some are double.. some not..
so if i plan to have about 5000 links.. that makes 25000.. keywords.. no.. because of doubles etc.. but lets say about 5000 in total..

--------
Now on the display links page for example and in other places I have the "Filter" (a dropdown that shows all keywords).. that would be a dropdown with 5000 fields?????
I know this is theoretical only, but realistic is to have about 1000 keywords after 5000 links.. (specially if you have very different categories)
even a the 1000 keywords loaded every page would slow down the system.. or am I wrong..
Ok the filter is limited to keywords by category.. but still.. we dont know how big we get..
I would suggest an option to turn the keyword filter off.. specially to save ressources on bigger board

Thats only an idea... but maybe i'm totally wrong..
