Links and Downloads Manager

LDM extends VBulletin to manage a library of documents, files and links to other web sites. Documents can be stored on your own web site, stored on your server separate from the web site, uploaded by your user community, or held somewhere else altogether. So you can use LDM to provide your user community with access to your own files and allow them to share files with each other.

12/08/06 - Versions that work with vb36 are available and supported in the VB36 thread. Version 2.2.1, which works with VB 3.5 but not with VB 3.6, remains available here.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with all the design, testing, etc.
Translations are provided (thanks dLutt and LeeWicked) into German, (thanks to Allan) into French, and (thanks to Hugo) into Spanish. Harry1951 has handled the Dutch translation.

Screenshots, Instructions and How to Install

Full details and instructions are available as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager

LDM installs as a VBulletin product. There are no modifications required to standard VB code.

Basically - upload php files and run the installer through VB's Product installer. No changes needed to VB code. Remember to BACKUP YOUR DATABASE. By default, LDM prefixes its database tables 'local_'. Edit the configuration file, local_links_init.php, if you need/wish to change this.

LDM can handle an essentially unlimited number of categories and nested subcategories, and an unlimited number of entries (hyperlinks or downloadable files). Each entry can be placed in one or several categories. Categories can have styles. Descriptions and titles can optionally include BBcodes, smilies, images and html, giving the possibility to add images, colouring, etc. File types can be flagged using icons and individual entries can also have associated thumbnail images.

Standards templates are provided for libraries of links, files, documents, and photographs.

Users can offer comments and rate the links/downloads. Each user is allowed one rating and many comments per entry, and can freely edit these if they change their mind.

Permission to use specific features is established via the product's admin page, where the administrator specifies which usergroups can add and edit entries, comment and rate these entries, moderate, etc.

By default, all entries are visible to all users. You can restrict visibility/access to links and categories by using the permissions masks from your board's forums.

Moderation of new entries is available but turned off by default.

Users can report bad links to the relevant moderators/administrators.

Each user can flag links as his/her "Favourites".

Modules are provided for VBAdvanced.

Hooks are provided in suitable places in LDM and sample plugins are included in the release (see extras directory), for example to integrate with ID3 tags in mp3 files, for slideshows, to autocreate new threads in your forums, etc.

Plus much more.

This is not an LDM issue. The message you have posted on theadminzone is generated by by reading the php.ini setting that the server provides to it. Take a look at vb/admincp/maintenance/phpinfo. You will find confirmation of what the server believes to be these settings. Please post the values (you will find two in the columns headed local value and master value) for upload_max_filesize.

By the way, the LDM author is more than happy to help, and has done so willingly now for six years, ever since vb 3.0, so please do not suggest otherwise.

This has happened when your web server installed an upgrade to php. There is a straightforward fix, but I need to know exactly which version of LDM you are using.

By the way, I would really prefer not to have to provide support for very old releases of LDM. (Fortunately, I have kept copies of them all.) Is there a good reason you are sticking with vb 3.5?

Am using LDM 2.2.1

Thanks for the help.

Had too many mods, which resulted to sticking to vb3.5 . Never expected that php keeps upgrading and I am a nerd when it comes to IT stuffs.

TIA.

The attached file should fix the problem. It should be uploaded into your form/includes directory. I recommend that you keep a copy of the existing version in that directory in case anything goes wrong.

I have not been able to run a formal test, because I no longer have a site running vb 3.5, but the new code contains the same fix as works with more recent versions of LDM, so I expect everything will be ok. Let me know if not.
