Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.3.0 of LDM is now the official release. This works with both VB3.7 and VB3.8. You can obtain it here

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

What this is and does

LDM is a general-purpose link and file manager, which handles user uploads and downloads in a flexible way. A range of media players is integrated into LDM and others are included as plugin extras. LDM is described below in the first post of this thread, which also contains a brief list of the currently-known bugs.

This release of LDM works correctly with all VB versions 3.6.x and recent versions of vbadvanced.

Documentation, screen shots, etc, are provided as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager

Thank you to everyone who has tested, given suggestions, helped with the translations, etc.

Yeah, I'm just going to wait till 2.2.7 then I can use webthumbs which is what I wanted to begin with.

Okay... newbie question

How do I set it up so that all usergroups (save one) can view the downloads, but not download them?

I know it can be done, and had it set up like that once, but for the life of me, can't remember how!

Stacy, it's the *can_access_link* permission. Give it and deny it as you wish.

You can do this for the whole board - LDM/admin/permissions - or per category - Go to category - edit category - select permissions tab

I've got the auto-move expired links to another category coded and tested - it will be available shortly when the 2.2.7 is made available for alpha tests.

Andrew, thank you It worked perfectly!

And we are very excited about the auto move function. I've been keeping my team up to date on what changes they might be able to expect, and they are tickled pink about this one, and have totally fallen in love with the schedule function!

You can have it now, if you want something that silently destroys your database :alien:

Or you can have it quite soon when I've done some more testing ...:tired:

Destroys DB? Uhhh no thank you?

[icemanic]

is it possible to have local_links.php and other files in its own directory?

i wish to have it like this: http://forum.com/forum/directory

so it is in its own directory subdirectory....

The online manual contains links to three sample sites

Don't know how I missed them.....Oh wait, yeah I do....Im an Idiot!

Anyway, I was also wondering if the file upload and download can be turned off? I only need a simple links manager at the moment. Is this the right plug-in for me? Thanks.

Is it possible to make a mirror link for for any links added, which will show for certain member groups.

Or possibly making it so different usergroups get a different link for example. registered user clicks on music.wmv and downloads from a public server where as a premimum member clicks it and downloads from a private server.
