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.

Also, i have to say what a huge amount of work you have gone to, i just checked out all those extras that you have worked on - simply fantastic!

On upgrade, most settings (and all internal LDM settings) stay intact and transfer over directly. You need to be careful with the following:

- installed extras are automatically uninstalled by vbulletin during a product upgrade, so you need to reinstall them. Their settings are kept intact, however.

- on the other hand, vbadvanced modules remain installed, and may not work properly after the upgrade, so need to be reinstalled because of the improvements made for 2.3.0

Your comments on the extras are appreciated. As you say, people have looked for a lot of special features over the years. The interesting point (apart from the functions that these add) has been to develop an infrastructure which does not get broken and does not require too much 'jumping through hoops' to get the job done. The awkward beasts tend to be some of the media players.

Perhaps I should not have given it an xml extension. The file just contains the template. Open the file with a text editor and copy/paste it as the links_playerbit_JWPlayer template (admin cp/styles and templates)

Again my visitors are getting database error messages when trying to access LDM pages. I'm convinced this has something to do with LDM because it almost invariably gives error-messages on access to LDM pages. Here is an example:

I have changed the template but now, it's write "install flash player". Flash player is correctly installed.

Send me a PM with your site details and an account with vb admin privs. Otherwise we're going to spend forever on this.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but the umlauts in the german translation don´t work and should be replaced with their respective HTML codes. I.e. ä = ä Ü = Ü and so on.
I have done this. Please find the updated file attached.
