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.

Thank you to everyone who has tested, given suggestions, helped with the translations, etc.

That indeed looks very nice. Especially the way to display part one and two.

Hi. Could use a little help here-
In Links and Downloads in Admin panel-

for: can_edit_link
Usergroups that can edit existing links. (Users can always edit their own links.)

Well, that's not true for my forum- Users cannot seem to delete their music tracks.

And if I go to:

can_edit_link
Usergroups that can edit links.

And, I enable Users- well, that's global, so anyone can delete anyone else's tracks. What do you think is wrong here?

Thanks,
Steve

I've been using LDM for ages and love it. I just moved my forum from one site to another and some of the links come up with this error:

"Sorry - link is not currently available"

Any ideas?

Are the broken links pointing to documents on your own server or somewhere else? Check if the local documents use urls that are relative to the local server or full urls. Also check the admin settings local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix. If you are using a reasonably recent version, the easiest way to check these is with admin/categories/mass edit.

2. If your web site runs on Microsoft's IIS web server in cgi mode (you can find this out by looking at the main VB admincp page), a key php environment variable DOCUMENT_ROOT is not defined by default. This causes serious problems with the placement of files on your server. LDM detects this problem and issues a fatal error if necessary. If this occurs, edit includes/local_links_init.php and define the constant LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT. The code highlights where to make the edit. Alternatively, you can patch your web server to define DOCUMENT_ROOT correctly.

I'm getting this error:

=======================================
Unexpected critical failure
Critical Error: Document Root not set, Edit local_links_init.php
=======================================

I'm assuming this is the error you mentioned?

How/where do I "define the constant LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT"

or How do I patch the server?

thanks..

The file local_links_init.php is contained in the includes/ subdirectory of the release zipfile and uploaded into the forums/includes/ subdirectory.

Open the file using a text editor and find these lines:

Code:
if ($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]) {
	define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]);
}
else {
// If you are running the IIS web server in CGI mode on Windows or if otherwise warned, uncomment and edit this line
//	define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/path/to/your/site');
}
You need to replace the line
Code:
//	define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/path/to/your/site');
by the correct directory path to your web site, e.g.:

Code:
	define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/data/www-root/mysite');

You can generally figure out what is your '/data/www-root/mysite' by going to your vbulletin/admincp/maintenance/php info page, and taking a look at the listing. I can't easily tell you what line to look for, as I do not have a windows-based IIS server available.

If you have problems with this, send me a PM with site details and a username/password for an account with admin privs on your board, and I'll take a look myself.

Yes local_file_root_prefix was incorrect. However whenever I try to change it to the correct page, I hit the update button and I get an error message that:

<path>/local_links_admin.php

Is unavailable.

Thanks for the quick support btw :P

Should I try editing the init file manually?

I don't really understand this, as you are already on the admin page? You haven't renamed the scripts, have you? The define statements at the start of the local_links_init.php file should point to the various mail ldm script files, in particule ADMIN_SCRIPT.

Under admin/categories/LDM settings I go to the local_file_root_prefix setting and input the full path on the new server. I then click the update button and I get page not found. So the change never gets made. Yes I am already on that page - so it does exist.

I havent renamed anything.

Just to rule out the obvious, have you a) tried clearing the browser cache and b) tried a different browser?
