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.

You may be right - I'm not a Linux expert - some parts of the apache configuration can certainly be over-ridden, but I'm not sure about php.

OK, here is my spanish translation for 2.2.6... no, i didn't forget, i was just lazy

Now, back to business... well, i lost all my templates again when updating to 2.2.6, that was meant to be?

And... Andrew, how do i use that image resizing feature you told me about?

Is it somewhere in the wiki? :classic:
Thanks

Thanks... I'll include these in the official 2.2.6 in a few days.

I wasn't aware that updating would lose templates. I thought I'd corrected that, but will check again. Sorry...

I can't recall your question about image resizing - can you remind me?

[obmob]

Hello... well, Andrew, i wanted to show a a thumbnail, a midsized image and maybe a fullsized image... and you told me there was certain code that can be used in linkbit templates to resize the images.

So i'd be able to set different size for a different template o.o

I'm sure it was here... i don't use any other LDM ^.^
Thanks

The url you need to add into your linkbit template will look something like this:

<if condition="$linkimg">http://yoursite/yourforums/local_resize.php?linkid=$linkid&size=M</if>

where M is the size at which you want to display the image.

For example, these links pull the same image from my site in tiny, small and medium sizes:

http://www.eirma.org/f3/local_resize...kid=96&size=10

http://www.eirma.org/f3/local_resize...kid=96&size=20

http://www.eirma.org/f3/local_resize...kid=96&size=50

When someone reports a bad link, all mods and admins gets an e-mail with this information. How can I change that. I want that reported links will be displayed in the "moderation" field or that only some mods will get a PN with this information...is this possible?

Hi AndrewD

I Installed LDM tonight on my 3.6.2

Look great ,but when I try to Play ...it's open the Juke box for second and then go straight to Download and save file , This file I used the link URL to Add Link
Did I miss something here ?

The other file I used browser to upload ...it's play fine and No problem .

Thanks .

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I discover that VB3.6 behaves differently than VB3.5 (in 3.5 there was a per-forum 'warn all admins' feature, which in 3.6 has changed a selection in the vb/options/user infractions). I had not noticed the change, and there's a bug in the current code for vb3.6 as a result.

However, onto your qestion - if the category containing the reported link is 'associated' with a forum with one or more named moderators, then LDM will (should!!) only inform those moderators. Otherwise it warns all mods and admins. I believe that that logic is still working correctly.

I'll look into the best way of handling this correctly in the 'gold' version of 2.2.6.

Difficult for me to imagine what is going on. Can you send me a PM with your site's url, so that I can take a look? Thanks

[rasun]

OK thank you for you answer, looking forward to the "gold" version


An other question:

I want that external links use a dereferrer (anonym.to) to hide my site as referrer...the final link should looks like this: http://anonym.to?http://www.posted_site.com
Where should I add this to parse the external links automatically like this?
If it?s possible, local links shouldn?t use the dereferrer.

Can you help me with this?
