Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

What this is and does

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.

Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread.

14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is now the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8. Please post comments in this thread

22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the previous supported version. Works fine with all versions of vb 3.6 and vb 3.7. All standard features except profile integration and forum prefix selection work fine with vb 3.8.

Hello,

I've visited your site and made a few tests, including uploading a file into the category you had created. It's working fine. The answer to your question 'Where do I upload the files' is - you go into the category where you want to place the file; then you select 'Add Entry'; then you are given a form for creating the entry which has a field 'Upload File'.

You had turned on a lot of the LDM options, and some of these were causing problems:

- The SEO friendly options will only work if you also configure vbSEO to work with LDM, and you had not done this. I have turned this option off for the time being. (I do not provide support for setting up vbSEO and do not have a licence for it.)

- You enabled the 'Enable automatic thread creation to announce new entries' option, but you had told it to post messages in a forum which is not open for posts. I can't check that without having access to your main vb admincp, so I turned it off. (I also can't read Arabic )

- You enabled all the home page statistics options, which is probably not a good idea - just choose one or two of them.

The way your board is currently set up, you can only upload bmp, doc, gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, pdf, png, psd, rar, txt, xml and zip files. If you want to add others, then install the 'add-newmimetypes' LDM extra - it's in the extras directory of the release - or send me a PM with information on how to log in to your admincp.

Hope this helps.

How do I make each upload a link instead of showing everything at the same time? It's really annoying to scroll through everything.

All I'd like to see is the title and a bit of the text, then you have to click the title or maybe some "Read full upload" or something equal.

Example:
http://crinale.com/forums/local_links.php?catid=14

It's just too big and takes to much space, I just want to show a bit of the entry, not the whole one.
Many thanks!

Entry Reporting is buggy even in 2.3.0 Alpha cause of wrong var name in "doreport" action

local_links_action.php(2868)

Find:

PHP Code:

    $mods = ldm_fetch_moderators($catid, $report_users, ldm_lookup_setting($thiscatid, report_email)); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

    $mods = ldm_fetch_moderators($catid, $report_users, ldm_lookup_setting($catid, report_email));

I have a problem with vbadvanced integration. I have all the files integrated and have done what it says in the manual

The main LDM script, local_links.php integrate successfully in most respects with vbAdvanced, i.e. can be set up to appear as the central column on a vbAdvanced page. There is only one serious exception: setting up the LDM Jukebox to launch "within page" creates an unpleasant mess on the screen. Use the "launch Jukebox in new window" option instead.

The only problem is that the new window cuts off half way. It would be good if the new window had vertical scroll bars so you could scroll down and see the rest of the page including the left and right sidebars of vbadvanced.

Select a different linkbit, either on the LDM admin settings or per category (edit category/control settings). The Modern (short) linkbit should do what you want, in combination with the length_shortdesc setting
