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.
Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread. You can also find extensive discussion of this mod in the VB3.7 mods section.
14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8.
14.02.10 Post-1 version uploaded with minor bug fixes, including dealing with PHP 5.2.12

I am having the same problem. Checked permissions and all my categories have associated parent forums, all regular users have canview, canviewothers permissions. I even checked and noticed I had it set so regular users could not edit their posts, fixed those permissions for all forums, then tried again. Same problem. Please help.

Worth checking that regular users have 'canview' and 'canviewothers' permissions for these forums (vb/admincp). If this is not the problem, I'm very willing to take a look at your site, but will need full admin access - send me a PM if you want to go this route.
I am happy to take a look at your site, but will need an account that is a full vb admin. Send me a PM with details if you want me to do this.
Thank you to help
Of the problems I was not in the site or settings
I got the same problem when you change the server
The problem is when you open a file
The file appears it is damaged
Are there any settings should be at the server

See PM reply. Problem is caused by security settings on yor new server.

Im trying to find out why LDM is giving this error on each LDM page:
I recently installed vboptimise. However disabling that does not resolve it.
I use LDM 2.3.0-p1
This is caused by a change in the error handling in the latest version of php. Replace includes/local_links_include.php by the attached - should fix things.
I'm using LDM 2.3.0 and need to customize some things. I've done this in the past but for the life of me I can't recall how I did it so now I'm pretty much starting over on changing the text that is displayed in some locations. I'd appreciate some help:
1) On the page that lists files available to download, There's a section where I've got directions for downloaders. It's a box with a heading and is under the menu bar with "Categories Show Search" links and above the "Sort by" drop-down list. I want to edit the text in this box but just can't find how to do so. I've searched all the .xml files I've got as well as used the "Search in Phrases" utility in the vB Admin Control Panel.
2) On the page where one enters all the information on a file they are uploading, there's a heading area just above the form (just below the menu bar with "Categories Show Search" links). How do I edit that heading?

These are both done via the ldm admin/settings page.
1) You either have (or have had) installed the "add-page-information" 'extra' which gives you a group on controls and a the text box (pageinfo_message) to set this message.
2) This is done with the "use_instructions" box on the settings page.
The first of these messages can be modified on a per-category basis (using the edit category/control settings page) but the second can only be set globally.
