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.

So just to confirm, You downloaded the 4 test files from the server link correctly, and they were not corrupted and they did not download as a file called Local_Links.PHP Thanks |

What would be a nice feature, if the threads/posts column on the main link page had the number of categories/links.

Let me know what you think and I can consider making this a permanent feature. Number of categories can also be shown, but is again another database lookup or two. |

Hi Andrew,
I've used LDM since 2.1.x. Been upgrading with each release and I must say, I like it a lot! It's now part of the main structure in my website. Some feedback - I notice that for the "Daily download and bandwidth allowances" admin setting, let's say if i set it such that unregistered usergroup can download 3 files everyday, it applies to all guest. Meaning, all the unregistered can only download 3 files in total. Would it be possible for this to be ip-specific? For example, if i set 3 files for Unregistered, each user (with unique ip) would be able to download up to 3 files per day? (hope this is not too confusing) Featured Link/Download - So far i haven't been able to get it working. Anyone has any screenshots/demo link for me to see how would the featured link/download look like? I'm under the impression that let's say if i set myself as the user whose favourites will be featured, the featured link/download would appear at the main page (ie. local_link.php)? Future/Suggestions - I'm thinking, maybe for the future versions, you might wanna consider working towards this direction - let's say if i click on the username of the user who submitted the link/download, i'll be brought to that user's dedicated page, where his uploads, downloads, and other info of that user would be listed. Something like DeviantArt without all the complexity of DA. This way, users would be encouraged to submit links/downloads. - hooks to work with vbPlaza so that LDM can make use of the vbbux in the system. enable users to receive vbbux for each upload. Hope you don't mind the suggestions i've thrown up. No obligation and no rush though..You've already done a tremendous job and provided great support and we truly appreciate it. *Double Thumbs up!* @Nokia Tech, i tried and download. it works fine. no corrupted files whatsoever. |

a) specify which user(s) will provide featured links b) specifiy how many to display, and whether they are to be 'category specific' Then, the indicated users' favourites will be randomly selected as 'featured links' i.e. suppose you set yourself as the featured user. Everyone will then get to see a random selection of the entries that you have chosen as "favourites". If you haven't chosen any, then none get displayed. Clear? Quote:
