French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

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.

Hi,

I'm using vBulletin 3.7.2 and LDM 2.2.9. Even when I've given myself enough allowance in the Admin CP, I get the following error when I upload a file:

"Upload error - configuration problem - unable to create a user subdirectory on server"

Please advice. Thanks..

May be a long shot, but are your server directory permissions setup correctly?

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

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

//	define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/path/to/your/site');

by the correct directory path to your web site, e.g.:

	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.

A quick note: the hosted Windows server we use does define DOCUMENT_ROOT but does so incorrectly (for this purpose) so I found I had to comment out the whole of the if ($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]) code except the required line - e.g.

//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', '\\servername\domains\mysite.com\user\htdocs\testvb');
//}

On our Windows server (I don't know if this is the same for others) the _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT" variable found in the "View PHP Info" section of the vB control Panel gives the path to \admincp\index.php so just removing that part of the path gives you the full path to the forum home directory on that server which is what you need to enter for the definition of LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT.

Does anyone have something for this I can use with vbadvanced?

[abroad]

I have installed it however when I use the snap plugin to create a preview of a link I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_url_atag() in /var/www/html/includes/local_links_include.php(3567) : eval()'d code on line 5

Hi Andrew,

Recently I had to update my Wimpy Mp3 player to get it working with Flash 10. The problem now is that it shows "demo" when I use the LDM Wimpy addon. Is there any way around this. Is there another file that needs to be uploaded?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Clancy
