Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.3.0 of LDM is now the official release. This works with both VB3.7 and VB3.8. You can obtain it here

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

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.

In fact i even upped my post limit and upload limit on php so that's not the issue. Any clues?

The error message is saying that you are uploading one filetype but asking that it gets redownloaded with a different filetype. Are you entering something into the rename field? This should always end with the same filetype as the file being uploaded.

With the 'just redirecting' for large files, check the maximum file sizes in the vbulletin admin/attachments table for the filetypes of interest. For your regular users, the maximum upload size is limited to these values. Admins can upload files of any size up to the php limits. You can check the maximum size allowed by selecting the down arrow on the 'uploadable filetypes' message on the add entry form.

I.e. 0-9 A B C D E etc each linking to the first entry beginning with that letter?

This is in the 2.2.9 alpha, just released in the 3.7 forum (works on 3.6 also).

Yay, finally. Been waiting it for so long, great work Andrew.

I have a quick question, the A | B | C | D is able to support the specific category? or it works on all categories?

The ABC bar applies to the current category, and simply acts as a filter on the current list. Searches for everything starting 'A' would still be done using the Search page.

When I set the Display Order to Links between the links that have the same display order appears a separate.

But when I set the display order to Categories It doesn’t. Is there a setting to make it appears or categories don’t support separate.

I use LDM 2.2.7

Thanks

Yes, you're right. This is an omission, which I will correct.

I don't think I'm using any of these. I've not checked whether the main vb code uses them.

Your list is truncated - not sure if there were other functions at the end.

I don't know why, but my Link Manager has just stopped working. The initial page is there listing all the links, but when you choose one the links, a new window opens but it stays at my site. In the new window it sort of looks like the initial page but messed up and all the graphics on the page, such as my logo, are red x's, so I know it is some type of directory issue. Andrew, can you look at it here www.vmaxforum.net , to see if you can see any obvious problem? I'm not sure when this started as one the forum users pointed it out, but I haven't added or changed anything on the site for months.
Thanks!
