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.

Will this change any of my settings or permissions I have now?

Cheers
That's correct. You will not lose any settings or permissions.

It's a good idea to take a database backup before any upgrade.

In what sense is it not working? - sorting seems fine on my test and production sites.

I tried to take a look at your site, unfortunately I'm linguistically challenged

I have two quick questions, one I see several mentions of versions higher then 2.2.2 Beta but can not find where to download the most up to date versions.

Also when I click on Catagory link I created with a test file since upgrading to 2.2.2 I get this error?


Warning: main(DIR/includes/local_links_init.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/leaguegu/public_html/local_links.php on line 105

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR/includes/local_links_init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/leaguegu/public_html/local_links.php on line 105

Can anyone help me get this mod up and running. I want users to be able to upload files as well as download them ASAP at my site.

Thanks in advance, if this helps this is a link to my sites forums.

This error message says that the file local_links_init.php cannot be found in your includes directory. So I think you have not uploaded all the code into the correct places. Basically, the files in release/forum in the zip file need to go into the corresponding places in your forums directory/subdirectories.

** Edited = I took a look at your site, and I see the problem. Go to your main VB admincp and take a look at the setting of the Forum URL (admincp/site name) - I imagine that this is pointing to your home directory rather than your forum directory - http://leagueguru.com/forums


2.2.2 beta 2 is the latest test version and 2.2.1 is the formally supported version. 2.2.2 beta 2 seems to be working fine, but there are several items that I'm still working on before this goes 'gold'. I would expect that 2.2.2 will become the official version when vb 3.6 is also official.

It was working until the few last days , now when I want to sort , I get always the same position.
You can test yourself :

The sort by is in the left of the screen.
You can test it and see that nothing change.

Thanks in advance,
Efil.

I have a usergroup with permission to view a forum, post to a forum, can add links in LDM, allowed to upload in LDM but when they go to and file catagory, they don't get the option to Upload Files. All my other user groups have no problem and they get this option. Any ideas?

Thanks

How does one change that?? Thats the problem i am having.

I remember that there is an option for us to let LDM find and up date or files are up loaded by ftp.

I can not file this options in version 2.2.1
