Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

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.

You're in luck - that part of the code has not changed very much in two years Take a copy of the file include/local_links_include.php. Edit, and go to line 1078, which reads:

function record_hit($id, $url, $status, $size=0) {
	global $vbulletin, $links_permissions, $links_defaults;

	if ($links_permissions["can_bypass_hit_recording"]) {

Change to:

function record_hit($id, $url, $status, $size=0) {
	global $vbulletin, $links_permissions, $links_defaults;

	$when = TIMENOW-24*60*60*XXX;
	$vbulletin->db->query_write("
		DELETE FROM ".THIS_TABLE."linksdownloads
		WHERE usertime<'".$when."'
	");

	if ($links_permissions["can_bypass_hit_recording"]) {

where XXX is the number of days you want to retain in the table, e.g. 30.

Worked like a charm!!!

Where/how can I send you a donation. This is wonderful support!

No, that field is blank.

You go to ldm/admin/hits. Then you use the pull down menus to select the dates of interest and 'username'. That produces aggregated information sorted by username. You then click on one of the usernames and you get a full tabulation of that user's activity.

The 2.2.8 have an option to search by username, but is not working properly I get an error. (I'm sure that will be fix with the final release, I don't care for now)

the 2.2.7 does not have the option to search by username.

I have two sites, one with 2.2.7 and one with 2.2.8 and I was looking at the one with 2.2.7 when I post the question, without realizing the you add that feature with the 2.2.8. I'll just wait until the final release is ready to start using it.

Thanks for your time :up:

Do you mind if I take a detailed look at your site? I'll need admin privs to VB and LDM.

I have a problem and no clue whats going on.

After installing the product ist says that:

Warning open_basedir is set to /srv/www/htdocs/web25/html/:/srv/www/htdocs/web25/phptmp/:/srv/www/htdocs/web25/files/:/srv/www/htdocs/web25/atd/ in your PHP installation
Please refer to the hack instructions for information on this setting

I think i have to contact my Admin-C to make some changes in the php.ini file - but what?
Cant get the problem here - whats this message saying to me?

This is only a warning, not necessarily an error. The "open_basedir" setting in your web site's php.ini file restricts the parts of your web site where it is possible for php scripts to read/write. It is a security setting. Your current setting is probably ok, especially if vBulletin is working fine. You will see if there are any difficulties if (e.g.) uploads fail or if you wanted to store files completely outside the web site's directories.

Ah ok - thanks for the help.
So everything should be fine. But:
If i head to the local_links_admin the side has a weird look. I cant see everything.
The "ok" button e.g. is empty - just a grey box.

Here is a screenshot of what I mean:

Definitely not right! Do you want me to take a look? - if so send me a PM with site details and an admin username and password
