Hi,
thanks for the fast response. I am not a coder but if I take out the beginning "{" should i take out everything until the closing "}"? I took out only the second ")". At least i do have not an error but also no thumbnail. Christian |

I've just retested the plugi on my test site and it seems to work fine. The thumbnail is created at the moment you add or edit the entry. If you want, I'll take a look at your site to check if I can see any problem - will need an account with vb admin privileges. |

Hello Andrew
I have used LDM for years and I love it, now I have a couple of questions How do I know if notifications are sent to the users (who have downloaded the link) when the link is edited? If I have created the link and downloaded the file afterwards, do I get an email notification as well? |

LDM does not send email announcements when a link is edited. Is this an important feature? (it might get added in the vb 4 version if there is a real need) - but be aware that this could cause a serious performance hit with sites where there is a lot of user access, because it can only work if LDM's records of downloads are kept permanently in the database. |

Thank you for taking the time to response. I get it now. Since the number of hits gets very large (over 10,000 every week) I erase all the hits weekly and that's the reason LDM is no longer sending the notifications. Hit erase=no notification. I wasn't sure how LDM worked and I was worry it was going to overload my server every time a link was updated. I only have 1k emails per day. Thanks again and I hope you feeling better now. |

Andrew has passed away on April 22nd after a long illness.
His obituary can be found here: http://www.eirma.org/activities/Obituary.pdf I assume that this likely means the end of his popular Links and Downloads Manager. It has always been my impression that LDM was a work of art that Andrew devoted a substantial amount of time/years to. He was quite dedicated to the creation and development of LDM. |

Oh wow, that is so sad. Andrew was a fantastic guy, always so willing to help anyone and spend so much of his own time to help others.
My condolences to his family, his wife and son. He will be missed. Mike |

However, Re-usable Code is listed up above so someone can carry on the work and honor his name! Can I request vb.org admins make an announcement on this? Give him some credit, honor his name a little? Not often a good coder passes, I hope to never see this again for a while tbo. - Thoughts, Admins? |
