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.

Apologies for that. Different versions of MySQL use different syntax for this command.

Please download the updated zip file.

I've found a bug in the upload code for 2.2.7, which will be straightforward to fix, but I'm heading off to work now.

Beta has been withdrawn until this evening.

I've tried searching for this issue within this Mod and cannot find it. I just did a brand new install of 2.2.6. I added a category and was successfully able to add a link using the LDM.

I've added a single category that gives all usergroups the ability to see and click on the links therein. I also gave all Registered Users permission to add a link but I did not give them permission to upload files.

Registered users cannot add a link. I've gone over my settings about 10 times and can_add_link is authorized for the Registered Users Usergroup. When they try to add a link for that category they are told they do not have the permissions to do so.

What am I missing here?

From what you say, I assume that the registered users are actually seeing an "Add Entry" command on the tool bar and when they click on this, they receive a *you do not have permission to access this page* form.

New entries come in two forms:
- Links to existing files [*can_link_files* permission]
- Uploads [*can_upload_files* permission]

The situation I described happens if you give a usergroup *can_add_link* permission but take away both *can_link_files* and *can_upload_files*.

If I've misunderstood, let me know. Sorry if this was confusing - maybe I need to tighten up this error message as you are not the first person to be confused.

I didn't produce a linkbit that looks exactly the same as yours, but that would be easy to change the layout - do you want this added as a new linkbit?

Images show your suggestion and the main linkbit ("modern")

Sorry for the delay on my answer.

Oh, it really was on 2.2.6? I didn't read anything about this before

I'll take a look, thank you Andrew!

I have recently installed this awesome mod. Is there any way to password protect zips?
Thanks.

The 2.2.7beta is working without a hitch--as far as I can tell. Thanks, Andrew. I really like the upload quota feature that now comes standard with LDM.

By the way, I've got a couple of questions. First, how do I lay out all the photos inside a single box: http://www.eirma.org/wikis/images/f/fb/Photolib.jpg?

Second, is there a way to display all the images that a user has ever uploaded using LDM all in one place?

You have packed so many powerful features into LDM that I'm still in awe after using it for two months!
