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.

Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread. You can also find extensive discussion of this mod in the VB3.7 mods section.

14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8.

14.02.10 Post-1 version uploaded with minor bug fixes, including dealing with PHP 5.2.12


Staff Note: Sadly, Andrew D, the developer of the Links and Downloads Manager has passed away after a long period of illness.

I see thank you very much for telling me that. Well I can see this will take me a long time to figure out... thanks for creating something so entailed, amazing.

Hello again Andrew, I have gone through the Wiki and I am still having a problem with that empty area that shows just on the main page (other pages obviously have cat info etc...) but I want to eliminate that main page top table, it looks like precat and I tried removing it from the LDM main template but it was not removed.

See image, how can I remove this main page table that is basically empty? Thank you.

I went thru the settings but can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks!

Never mind - I thought everything was under the 'links & Downloads' Admin CP - never thought to look under the VB Styles and Templates section.

Hi,

edit the links_main template. Find the section that reads

<if condition="$viewcattext or $viewcatextra">
<tr>
	<td class="alt1">
	$viewcattext
	$viewcatextra
	</td>
</tr>
</if>

and change to

<if condition="($viewcatid>0 or $script!=$LINKS_SCRIPT) and ($viewcattext or $viewcatextra)">
<tr>
	<td class="alt1">
	$viewcattext
	$viewcatextra
	</td>
</tr>
</if>

Unfortunately, not yet. Until the code for vb 4 is released, I have no idea how much work is going to be involved in producing a compatible version of LDM, nor really say which features will/should change.

Difficult to help without seeing your site - am happy to take a look if you send me details via PM. One thought - have you enabled the "SEO friendly" option - this needs care.

Is there a way to remove all the 'wrap-around' stuff when using the Jukebox either in a new window or using the existing one? I'd like to JUST have the Jukebox 'box' appear when a user clicks 'Play Me'.

Thanks!
