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.

Saying that .. I take it butty that the sizes for the left and right hand columns have been set up correctly in vBa .. therefore it's the LDM module that causing the right hand column to shrink in size?

If so .. Andrew is there a way of giving the LDM module a fixed width?

i have wrapped vba around the ldm php page mate but yeah as you can see its squishing in the left and right columns because of its width, it doesnt do this on other pages that i have the 3 columns

so i jus need to find out how to change the width of the ldm tables etc

Andrew,
On my site currently, I have it setup so a user can choose to either stream the video on the site via YouTube integration, or to download the file off of websites such as FileFront for each file. I'm not using LDM to do this. My question was, would it be possible to do something like this in LDM, where in the entry clicking "Play Me" would lead to an embedded video in the jukebox, and "Visit Link" would lead to an offsite download area such as FileFront. Essentially, basically two linkouts in one entry. Is this possible?

Yup, 2.2.6 works awesome.... 2.2.7, well, it's beta

I must add my 2 cents also.

:up: Fantastic! Did a test run on my test site and went live with no problems whatsoever.

Can you not create a csv file with this format:

link,"Netweaver.bmp","http://www.abc.com/Files/Wallpapers/Netweaver.bmp","Netweaver.bmp",156

and use it as an import file for the initial load of my LDM entries? All the categories already exist, so why won't this work?

[amnesia623]

Just curious - is there a way to get an upload status indicator? like bytes or percentage uploaded?

Thanks

Hi, very good modification, I like it very much

But I miss one or I just don't see it.

At the setting of a download limit under local_links_admin.php?set=bandwidth I can just add a limit by usergroup.

It is possible to set a limit on categories, I don't want add a limit for usergroups, just a download limit for 2 categories, all other categories should be unlimited.

Is that anywhere possible or could add?

I have set up my forums to include this but I get this error:

I want my entire LDM as a module in vbadvanced. So that even as you click on a category, there will still be vba blocks around LDM. Is there a module for this?

I have tried to apply vba to LDM, but that does only work for the main page of LDM. (Unless I apply it to every possible page of LDM, which is not feasable) And on top of that, this gets lost with LDM upgrades, so I gather it needs to be done the other way around: a vbadvanced module for the entire LDM.
