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.

Hi Andrew, the the new release seemed to break my id3 tag for new entries. I checked your recent posts and turned on all the new features but its still now showing any of the id3 tags when it scans new entries. Any ideas?
ok.. as promised.. here are the 2 hacks..
ATTENTION.. this is very beta... and straight forward.. only apply if you know what you are doing!!!
Thanks - I can see what you are aiming to achieve and will - at least - provide the hooks to allow this to be done without code edits. I'll see if I can go further.

I didnt have the time to check all the templates and all the files.
Yes, he says, red-faced. You will not find any session urls. I know they need to be there for the situation you describe - for some reason early in the design I left this out - no-one has mentioned it before ! Fortunately, it's not difficult - just tedious - for me to put them back. Will do.

In 2.2.9, ID3 tags are handled as additional attributes rather than as text inserted into the description. You have to turn on display of Additional Attributes as well as installing the id3tag-enhancements. Sorry, I forgot to mention that in the 'readme' file.
The change makes it possible to do more interesting things with id3 tags - howevere, I do consider that this part o fthe code is still 'under development' so I will welcome suggestions for improvements.
I noticed something of that sort and I like the direction it is heading but it doesn't seem to pick up values from my files. When I edit a scanned entry all the id3 tags are blank and not checked. I have to enter custom text and check them. I checked the category and they are all enabled.
Is it possible to use the old id3 plug-in I was using on this new version?

the hooks would be great...
forget the one in local_links_profile.php, because that would implement that the whole ldm phrasegroup would have to be imported in the profile.. wich would cause a big extra load.. so i think just disabling this in profile would be less trouble when using translations.
as for going further.. :up: you probably will also find better locations for adding the code.. as i just added it where it seems to work.. but i dont know if it works in all configurations!

:up: great.. take your time...
as it is a not very intelectual task i offer to help.. because i know what a pain it is.. and how much time it takes.. (just pm me in case)
just a reminder: because i have lost about 5 hours when doing this to another hack.. because i mixed up sessionurl and sessionurl_q ... (i had added a questionmark before sessionurl_q and didnt find why the url was then broken)
I know.. YOU know.. but sometimes a reminder does no harm.

I'll try to check this evening when I leave work and let you know.
Using vb 3.6.4 and LDM 2.2.9 post2 and having this problem that's been frustrating me for hours because it should be simple.
local_file_root is set to Yes
local_file_root is set to /attachments/
sync_enabled is set to Yes
sync_populate_categories is set to Yes
sync_populate_entries is set to Yes
I uploaded the files into /attachments/songs/mp3/
set chmod 777 to all directories
When adding a category I set this:
Synchronise with... songs/mp3/
And gives me this error:
Cannot synchronise category with songs/mp3/ - directory not found.
