Links and Downloads Manager · **Released**: 06-25-2005

LDM extends VBulletin to manage a library of documents, files and links to other web sites. Documents can be stored on your own web site, stored on your server separate from the web site, uploaded by your user community, or held somewhere else altogether. So you can use LDM to provide your user community with access to your own files and allow them to share files with each other.

12/08/06 - Versions that work with vb36 are available and supported in the VB36 thread. Version 2.2.1, which works with VB 3.5 but not with VB 3.6, remains available here.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with all the design, testing, etc.
Translations are provided (thanks dLutt and LeeWicked) into German, (thanks to Allan) into French, and (thanks to Hugo) into Spanish. Harry1951 has handled the Dutch translation.

Screenshots, Instructions and How to Install

Full details and instructions are available as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager

LDM installs as a VBulletin product. There are no modifications required to standard VB code.

Basically - upload php files and run the installer through VB's Product installer. No changes needed to VB code. Remember to BACKUP YOUR DATABASE. By default, LDM prefixes its database tables 'local_'. Edit the configuration file, local_links_init.php, if you need/wish to change this.

LDM can handle an essentially unlimited number of categories and nested subcategories, and an unlimited number of entries (hyperlinks or downloadable files). Each entry can be placed in one or several categories. Categories can have styles. Descriptions and titles can optionally include BBcodes, smilies, images and html, giving the possibility to add images, colouring, etc. File types can be flagged using icons and individual entries can also have associated thumbnail images.

Standards templates are provided for libraries of links, files, documents, and photographs.

Users can offer comments and rate the links/downloads. Each user is allowed one rating and many comments per entry, and can freely edit these if they change their mind.

Permission to use specific features is established via the product's admin page, where the administrator specifies which usergroups can add and edit entries, comment and rate these entries, moderate, etc.

By default, all entries are visible to all users. You can restrict visibility/access to links and categories by using the permissions masks from your board's forums.

Moderation of new entries is available but turned off by default.

Users can report bad links to the relevant moderators/administrators.

Each user can flag links as his/her "Favourites".

Modules are provided for VBAdvanced.

Hooks are provided in suitable places in LDM and sample plugins are included in the release (see extras directory), for example to integrate with ID3 tags in mp3 files, for slideshows, to autocreate new threads in your forums, etc.

Plus much more.

I am trying to intergrate thumbshots.org do display a screenshot of the linked sites homepage.

The code that needs to go in there is

Code:

<img src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=http://$link[url]" border="0" onload="if (this.width>50) this.border=1; this.alt='Preview by Thumbshots.org';">

I just cant seem where to put it

Hey AndrewD,
It's been a while since i last been here lol.In any case i just began working with this newer version of LDM and it's pretty awsome so far.But i ran into one error i cant seem to figure out so thought i would ask here as you always had the answers for these things in the past.I installed LDM with VB 3.5.4 all was working well.I added a few test links.But now when i try to mass import files i get this error "Warning: Wrong parameter count for fgets() in \local_links_admin.php on line 1619" im not entirly sure why.Thanks

.... i still dont ge the thumb generated, when i upload the pic i got a + which when i click i get the full size , but no thumb

i have 200 in my thumb width setting.

angkor408 · #**2379** 09-15-2006, 05:10 PM

HiRaul7, which setting are you referring to? I was able to upload to a file but not to an image. You mean under:

upload_dir (I had created a folder called" Upload" with permission 777.

This what I have upload_dir= forums/upload/

In permission setting: Enable upload (register, administrator)

Any other setting I have to check?

Thank

Long delay in answering - just got back from vacation.

LDM normally expects that you will complete the url field, and gives th message you report when you fail to do so. You can change this behaviour by setting the <allow_null_links> LDM setting to <yes>. Afterwards, you can then create LDM entries without a url.

However, if you just want to have an image, you can also enter that image (jpg, gif, png (I think)) as the normal url and leave the image field blank. In that case, LDM spots what you are doing, and 'auto creates' the thumbnail.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
