What this is and does

LDM is a general-purpose tool for managing libraries of links and files, and handling uploads and downloads in a flexible way, while tracking and control user access. It has a range of integrated media players and a large library of 'plugin' extras.

Installation and Usage Explained in the on-line Wiki, with a brief explanation in the file instructions.txt in the release zip. The recent revision history is given in the first post of this thread.

Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread.

14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is now the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8. Please post comments in this thread

22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the previous supported version. Works fine with all versions of vb 3.6 and vb 3.7. All standard features except profile integration and forum prefix selection work fine with vb 3.8.

I have 20GB of users attachments (mostly jpegs) stored on the hard disk that they uploaded to my forum posts for over 8 years and I would like to have some kind of interface to view and manage them.
Thanks. This is not there at the moment, but it's a feature that I have been meaning to write for some time, and will probably do so in the near future. One question - are your attachments stored on file or in the database?

The entities themselves are built up using the links_viewone_entity template and then inserted at the marked point in the template.

Currently, new linkbit and catbit templates are added programmatically. Take a look at includes/local_links_admininclude.php. At around line 626, there's a sequence:

Code:
// Pre-defined catbits - extend to match catbits available in templates.xml -----------------------------------------
// name=X: name used in selection menus
// defcol=N: default number of display columns
// maxcol=N: maximum number of columns that it makes sense to display
// subbit=M: template used for displaying subcategories within this catbit
	require_LDMadminrow($seq++, 'links_catbit', serialize(array("name"=>"Tabular", "defcol"=>1, "maxcol"=>4, "subbit"=>"links_subcatbit")), 'define_catbit', 1);
	require_LDMadminrow($seq++, 'links_catbit_brief', serialize(array("name"=>"Brief", "defcol"=>2, "maxcol"=>4, "subbit"=>"links_subcatbit")), 'define_catbit', 1);
// Pre-defined catbits - extend to match catbits available in templates.xml -----------------------------------------
To add a new catbit, add another line of code:
Code:
	require_LDMadminrow($seq++, 'links_your_catbit', serialize(array("name"=>"YourCatName", "defcol"=>1, "maxcol"=>4, "subbit"=>"links_subcatbit")), 'define_catbit', 1);
Save, upload, and re-install the LDM product loader. The new catbit will appear on the selection menus.
Many thanks Andrew this looks very straightforward - if I have a prob will get back.

This is really a great add-on and I have already had some good feedback.

Cheers

Roy

As well as installing the id3tag-enhancements plugin and enabling it, you also have to upload the getid3 code. Unzip getid3.zip from the extras directory. Then use your ftp software - create a directory called getid3 in your forums directory and upload the files into that directory.
You also need to enable display of 'additional attributes' on the LDM admin/settings page.

Ok... i need some help

On of my sites has around 500 entries every file is on my server they are sorted within folders, one folder for one category, I have never used LDM synch.

Is it possible to enable this feature? If so, how should i prepare my files and folders?

Thanks Andrew

Hello,

First off I would like to say that this modification is incredible. Thank you for all the work you have put into it. The features and settings are outstanding.

I was wondering if it was possible to sort link entries by UserGroups?

UserGroup A (links submitted sort at the top of their category)

UserGroup B (links submitted sort after links submitted by Group A)

UserGroup C (links submitted sort after links submitted by Group B)

This way, members that pay (subscribe) to be in a better UserGroup such as B or A, will have their links displayed higher then those who are in Group C.

If this setting is already in there, pardon my missing it. There's a lot of configuration to do and I most likely missed it.

Again thanks for all your efforts,

James

Just to let you know, I got it working , was to do with the parent category having a parent forum as well as the sub category. Must have conflicted or something because when I changed the parent category's forum to none, it started working.

Absolutely fantastic add on
