I must to change for :

/00. dossier a/02. dossier/Audio/audio n° 01.mp3

Must I add the caracter  on the sames links or there is a solution ?

This problem is because I have change the server.

Have all files changed name in a consistent way during the change of server? (For example, do all the files now have names with n° instead of n??) If so, you can do a bulk update of your entries' filenames. Go to the LDM admin/mass edit page. Select the 'mass edit' link on the same line as "select all" and "select all entries on all pages".

On the next page, select "select all entries on all pages" checkbox and "Edit" radio button. Then, in the find and replace boxes put the following:

Find : #n?#
Replace: #n°#

Be careful - you can do damage to your LDM database if you get these wrong.

If the new names are not consistent, then I don't think you have any choice but to go through one entry at a time.

Thanks very mush. I have a lot of categories with audio named ***n°** ....

I don't understand why when the script search an audio in a categorie, the caractere "Â " is add.

I will see my hebergeur if there is an othere solution, maybe the encoding, and there is a reglage, I don't really know ......

Hello,

I upgraded from 2.2.9 and set to overwrite. It only shows a white page now.

Installed it again and now it ignores the CSS for all styles?

Edit: seems to be related to another optimising hack and caching styles.

Thanks. Where can I find a change log? Also any design/template changes we should be aware of?

There is a full change log on the wiki. It's far too long to post here.

The LDM templates do undergo regular changes. It's not really feasible to provide lists of changes.
