Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.3.0 of LDM is now the official release. This works with both VB3.7 and VB3.8. You can obtain it here

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

04.02.08: patch-cat.xml 'extra' uploaded - see first post for information

27.10.07: Version 2.2.8-post1 uploaded
French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

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.

<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>

Sorry, I missed this one.

I tried to access your site, as per your screenshot, and everything seems to work ok - see my screenshot. You may have a problem with the cache in your browser - try clearing it (IE: Tools/Internet Options/Delete, or Mozilla: Tools/Clear Private Data)

[civil78]

I was searching the extras and I see that.

If i put this on the URL of my browser.

http://www.yoursite.com/local_links.php?action=addlink&url=URLINK&name=NAMETEXT&description=DESCRIPTIONTEXT

It will fill all the fields. I am wondering if you have a guide or a list of all the supported URL actions somewhere.

And finaly if I can create and submit a new link from URL (not from button in the form)

Thank's

To keep everyone up to date.

I plan to upload the release candidate of version 2.2.7 sometime this weekend. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who has tested out the beta. As far as I can tell, the main significant bug is that the Jukebox media player does not work correctly with Firefox for filetypes handled via Windows Media Player. (This worked fine with 2.2.6, and I know why the problem exists.)

The main new element in the 2.2.7 RC will be a "suggest other entries like this one" feature.

If there are any further bug reports, please can you let me know as soon as possible, so that we can finalise 2.2.7.

Hello,

First of all, thank You for this hack.

Second, i have a rewrite problem.
I made a text file with the rewrite commands :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule local_links/links/(.+)/(.+) local_links.php?catid=$1&linkid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/links/(.+) local_links.php?catid=$1 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/jump/(.+)/(.+) local_links.php?action=jump&id=$1&catid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/jump/(.+) local_links.php?action=jump&id=$1 [R]

Added /htlinks.txt path to mod_rewrite administration field.
seo_friendly to YES.
All this getting "No input file specified." when surfing the local_links categories.
What i'm doing wrong ? I have read and re-read the wiki.

I have also tried to add the rewrite commands to the .htaccess file , got the same error.

I'm using vbSEO

Thank you very much

[Dr.NoTime]

Thanks for the work and the support. Top notch all the way!

i sussed it out i think andrew. what i did was copied all of my navbar template and put that in the adv_portal template in place of $navbar

what i did then was remove all the code apart from the bit below (out of the adv_portal template) and it now seems to work. no errors and i can click the menus fine. lol. from a quick glance does it look like this fix will do good for me or can you forsee errors along my path lol

you can see it working here

http://www.oldskoolanthemz.com/forum...s.php?catid=10

note the navbar is gone but im errorless and all menus seem to be working fine

PHP Code:




<!-- PAGENAV POPUP -->

    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="pagenav_menu" style="display:none">
        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">$vbphrase[go_to_page]</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
            <form action="$vboptions[forumhome].php" method="get" onsubmit="return this.gotopage()" id="pagenav_form">
                <input type="text" class="bginput" id="pagenav_itxt" style="font-size:11px" size="4" />
                <input type="button" class="button" id="pagenav_ibtn" value="$vbphrase[go]" />
            </form>
            </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
    </div>

I've uploaded the release candidate of 2.2.7 in the first post in this thread.

Reports please.

I'd very much appeciate it if the translators can now start work - there are some new phrases that need attention. Thanks.

I don't use VBSEO, but I imagine that this is interfering with the LDM mod_rewrites? See a few posts up - message by Bold refers to this situation.
