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.

04.02.08: patch-cat.xml 'extra' uploaded - see first post for information

27.10.07: Version 2.2.8-post1 uploaded
French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

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.

There are two search mechanisms built into LDM, which use the alternative LIKE and FULLTEXT features in SQL. By default, it uses fulltext, which is generally faster and more powerful, but has some strange restrictions built in when the server is configured. One is to ignore short and common words.

You can go to the ldm/admin and switch over to using LIKE searches, which for your site should be fine.

That's the ticket! .. thanks

Are you using a clean installation of LDM, or have you wrapped the installation inside vbadvanced, etc? The usual reason why the category control/usergroup tabs don't work is that the necessary javascript isn't loaded (see links_header template) or javascript is disabled.

Sorry, I misread your question - I read you as asking about the links TABLE, rather than the linkbit_table... Wake up, Andrew.

There's certainly a fix - can I take a look at your site (I'll need an admin userid)?
