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 have everything loaded and working except the jukebox. The window opens but there is no way to play the file. I can download the file fine. I am running 2.2.7 on a Linux server.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you running your web browser on a Windows PC, a Linux box or a Mac? The Jukebox should now work on all three. Am happy to take a look if you send me a PM with your site details.

i have a request for help and a offer of help!

firstly my request. andrew. as you can see from my first screen grab i have vba wrapped around ldm

what im trying to do is remove the navbar as i dont have it on other cms pages ya see.

so what im doing is removing '$navbar' out of my adv_portal template.

as seen in the second screen capture this gets rid of the navbar but i get a error (as you can see)

if i remove the $navbar out of my link_header template it still stays there

I just took a look at your site, but I'm not getting the error you've posted - it's a Javascript error, by the way, and from the look of the line number, it's probably in the Javascript you've added at at the bottom of the page. So I wonder if the navbar removal is a bit of a red herring - the problem may be somewhere else.

cheers for the reply andrew. when i remove the following code out of my footer then it works with no errors but im not sure what this code is what it does or if its needed or not lol any ideas?

PHP Code:


<if condition="$show['dst_correction']">
<!-- auto DST correction code -->
<form action="profile.php?do=dst" method="post" name="dstform">
    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="dst" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
    var tzOffset = $bbuserinfo[timezoneoffset] + $bbuserinfo[dstonoff];
    var utcOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
    if (Math.abs(tzOffset + utcOffset) == 1)
    {    // Dst offset is 1 so its changed
        document.forms.dstform.submit();
    }
//-->
</script>
<!-- / auto DST correction code -->

</if>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
    // Main vBulletin Javascript Initialization
    vBulletin_init();
//-->
</script>

Yes, this is the standard VB page initialisation.

The first bit is used by VB to auto-reset your users' times when daylight saving time/summer time begins.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['dst_correction']">
<!-- auto DST correction code -->
<form action="profile.php?do=dst" method="post" name="dstform">
    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="dst" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
    var tzOffset = $bbuserinfo[timezoneoffset] + $bbuserinfo[dstonoff];
    var utcOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
    if (Math.abs(tzOffset + utcOffset) == 1)
    {    // Dst offset is 1 so its changed
        document.forms.dstform.submit();
    }
//-->
</script>
<!-- / auto DST correction code -->

</if> 


The next bit carries out a whole load of vb initialisation, to make sure that your pop-up menus, etc, work properly. I'll bet that the error is coming from here - you might try just removing these lines. Am not sure how this is interacting with vbadvanced/LDM, though.

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
    // Main vBulletin Javascript Initialization
    vBulletin_init();
//-->
</script>

For those of you having the vBSEO/rewrite 'Page Not Found' error put this in your custom rewrite rules in your vbseocp.

// Links and Downloads Manager
'local_links\.php\?catid=(\d+)&linkid=(\d+)' => 'local_links/links/$1/$2'
'local_links\.php\?catid=(\d+)' => 'local_links/links/$1'
'local_links\.php\?action=jump&id=(\d+)&catid=(\d+)' => 'local_links/jump/$1/$2'
'local_links\.php\?action=jump&id=(\d+)' => 'local_links/jump/$1'

I'm not sure if you saw my problem so I'll repost it here.
When trying to access the page via IE I get this error:
