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's a simple addon in the extras/rss2 directory which does this.

In 2.2.7/2.2.8 alpha, you have to create an additional usergroup, use that group's usergroupid as the test, and put everyone in your two groups of interest also into the new group.

I'll change the code in 2.2.8 final to make this more straightforward.

Doesn't matter if the style has or nor the new templates.

Edit: added the error page i got. it's still ldm 2.2.7

With 2.2.7 and vba 3.0, you have to turn off the vbadvanced option "Process PHP file modules within a function" (vb/admincp/vba/default settings/main options)

This is fixed in 2.2.8

Thanks

Clancy, it's currently only available in the main linkbit. I'll extend the 2.2.8 code so that it can be displayed in the comments also.

btw. Andrew, you should request a Premium Modification Board here. This thread is much to long to read it or to find anything.

Yes, sorry about that. This was a bug in the original 2.2.7 code. It's fixed (I hope) in the 2.2.7-post 2 release. Alternatively, you can edit local_links_actions.php, go to line 584 and replace delete_ldm_entry() by delete_link().

I did ask for a premium board some time ago. The vb.org people did not want to give me one for some reason. I understand the difficulties in finding things in the long thread.

O.o wow, never thought that would be the problem... thanks for answering.

Hope you had a great holiday! ^^

Thanks Andrew, that would be great!

It would also be nice to be able to show the members name in the standalone jukebox. An avatar there would also be great but just the members name would even do. I don't think at this stage that can be done can it?

Thanks again Andrew,

Cheers

hi Andrew,
i think i have found a bug in ldm 2.2.8-alpha
when some user adds an entry, it doesn't set linkuserID. and when i registered a new user via admincp, all entries made after the update to 2.2.8 where set to be added by this user....
can someone confirm this?

I think I discovered this too. I think the problem is actually when you edit an entry - the userid gets set to 0.

I'll put some checks into the installation code with the next release to fix any problems in the database.

Hello -

I'm working towards installing your hack on my vBulletin installation - and was wondering if it is possible to keep all the LDM files in their own file - or if they have to be kept in the corresponding 'clientscripts', 'includes', and 'xml' folders, etc.

I ask as I assume that each time I have to upgrade vBulletin, I have to wipe out all files and upload the new ones - and in the absence of an 'LDM' folder that I can choose not to delete, I'm trying to figure out what new VB upgrades will be like...

Thanks,
-Sean
