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.

Hi Andrew,

Forgive me - I don't know a whole lot when it comes to vbadvanced.

I'm trying to add the ldm_new.module but get the following error message on my page:

***Removed error message as it was too long and was interfering with the layout on this page***

Egads, what am I doing wrong?

How did you install the module? - it should be done using the vb/admincp/vba/download upload module

Thanks for the quick reply Andrew.

I was installing the modules wrong .

I followed your instructions and added them via admincp/vba/download upload module but something didn't go as planned. The module appears in my list with no name associated with it. I'm not sure I can even delete it. Tried it twice as you can see.

Good morning!

I've got a rather odd problem, and while it's more annoying than anything else, I'd like to clear it up if possible.

I'm new to vB so this may well be based on my own ignorance. I've got a vB 3.6.8.2 board up and running, and I've got LDM 2.2.8 installed and working fine. The issue is that each user, even after signing into vB, has to sign in AGAIN to access any category in LDM (the link to the category LIST seems to work fine). However, once this second sign-in is completed, the cookie(?) appears to be set and stable for that session, and possibly indefinitely.

My users aren't very technically savvy, so if possible I'd like to prevent the necessity for a double sign-in. If there is any specific information about my system you need, please let me know.

Thank you for your help!

I can also be reached directly at my work address, alan.martin (at) mightyautoparts.com

I've seen that problem too and mentioned it to the vba people. You can delete it and then it should reinstall correctly. If not - send me a PM with an admin account and I'll gladly take a look.

You haven't sent one to me - who did you send it to?

** Sorry -- edited - got it by email.

I see that you are still using vbadvanced 2.2. I haven't tested with that version for some time, and it seems I've created a problem - sorry - I'll look into it and see how to fix things.
