Links and Downloads Manager Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
LDM extends VBulletin to manage a library of documents, files and links to other web sites. Documents can be stored on your own web site, stored on your server separate from the web site, uploaded by your user community, or held somewhere else altogether. So you can use LDM to provide your user community with access to your own files and allow them to share files with each other.
12/08/06 - Versions that work with vb36 are available and supported in the VB36 thread. Version 2.2.1, which works with VB 3.5 but not with VB 3.6, remains available here. Thanks to everyone who has helped with all the design, testing, etc. Translations are provided (thanks dLutt and LeeWicked) into German, (thanks to Allan) into French, and (thanks to Hugo) into Spanish. Harry1951 has handled the Dutch translation. Screenshots, Instructions and How to Install Full details and instructions are available as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager LDM installs as a VBulletin product. There are no modifications required to standard VB code. Basically - upload php files and run the installer through VB's Product installer. No changes needed to VB code. Remember to BACKUP YOUR DATABASE. By default, LDM prefixes its database tables 'local_'. Edit the configuration file, local_links_init.php, if you need/wish to change this. LDM can handle an essentially unlimited number of categories and nested subcategories, and an unlimited number of entries (hyperlinks or downloadable files). Each entry can be placed in one or several categories. Categories can have styles. Descriptions and titles can optionally include BBcodes, smilies, images and html, giving the possibility to add images, colouring, etc. File types can be flagged using icons and individual entries can also have associated thumbnail images. Standards templates are provided for libraries of links, files, documents, and photographs. Users can offer comments and rate the links/downloads. Each user is allowed one rating and many comments per entry, and can freely edit these if they change their mind. Permission to use specific features is established via the product's admin page, where the administrator specifies which usergroups can add and edit entries, comment and rate these entries, moderate, etc. By default, all entries are visible to all users. You can restrict visibility/access to links and categories by using the permissions masks from your board's forums. Moderation of new entries is available but turned off by default. Users can report bad links to the relevant moderators/administrators. Each user can flag links as his/her "Favourites". Modules are provided for VBAdvanced. Hooks are provided in suitable places in LDM and sample plugins are included in the release (see extras directory), for example to integrate with ID3 tags in mp3 files, for slideshows, to autocreate new threads in your forums, etc. Plus much more.

This mod has singlehandedly changed the face of my forum forever. I've been looking for something exactly like this for months. Thank you ever so much.
Is there anywhere my site can donate to support the designers of this, once our subscription revenue starts coming in? PM me if so, I probably won't check back in this thread, 119 pages intimidates me a tad. |

I donated at www.eirma.org which is the author's site.

Probabbly missed it but is there a random links module for CMPS?

I've uploaded release 2.2.1 in the first post. This is mainly a bug fix release - see first post.
Appreciate a few tests and reports, please. Thanks |

I have two problems, they've probably been addressed at some point but I don't wanna look through 600 pages just in case it hasn't
#1, the daily allowances don't seem to work for me. I set the allowance to one but it's still allowing me to download as often as I want.. #2 I would like to edit below "links and download manager" on the main local_links.php face with some rules, how would I go about doing that? |

The reason for the difference lies in how the entry is processed. Transfer of 'downloads' are managed by reading the file on the server and then sending segments to the user. Other entries are handled by browser redirects and do not place any load on the server. Quote:
- set 'force_accept' on the LDM admin settings page to require users to accept some terms and conditions before downloading anything - set 'use_instructions' on the main LDM admin settings page (for all categories) or in each category edit (for the individual category and its children), so that users adding new material get to see some standard text. |

This is almost exactly what I've been looking for, thank you! The only thing it is lacking is a way to sort by submitter. I looked through this thread, but can't find anything about it. Is there a way to accomplish this?
