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.

The steps you made to make it work.
Please

Following the wiki instructions doesn't give me any positive results.
Yes, again, i'm using vbseo but the vbseo has nothing to do with this.

Andrew, the Bold quote didn't helped me at all.

Sorry you are having problems.

This is what I do:

- ensure that mod_rewrite is loaded and enabled in Apache (see Apache documentation)

- include a set of lines like the following in the Apache httpd.conf file (I'm using Virtual servers, so if you are not, you'd move these lines into the main body of the apache config, also ignore the 'server name' and document root lines)

<VirtualHost *>
	ServerName vb36
	DocumentRoot "r:/websites/vb36"
	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]
	RewriteRule local_stream/(.+)           local_stream.php?action=stream&id=$1 [R]
</VirtualHost>

Once this is done, LDM will accept urls like yoursite/local_links/link/2/1 to go to category 2, id 1

- Go into LDM admin/settings and turn on seo_friendly. ow LDM will also generate these urls.


OK?

I think you meed to add mimetype info for rars to your vb filetype table

Apologies to anyone who has experienced problems with the "suggest entries like" feature in the 2.2.7 RC.

To fix these, replace local_links_search.php in your main forums directory.

should be

		$hit = record_hit($vbulletin->GPC['linkid'], construct_phrase($vbphrase['ll_null_link'], $viewlinkname), $LINK_OK);

If only I had such Slaves in the office

Sorted .. thanks

Any difference to the one before that worked for me Andrew?

No - they are the same. Currently, the final 2.2.7 will include this fix and also minor changes on the admin page/mass edit

[Mupetz]

Your support is way to kind Andrew, thank you.

I don't have access to the apache configuration, i'm running on normal godaddy hosting plan.
I can assure You that the mod_rewrite is activated, vbseo and vblogetin seo are working good with .htaccess commands ; i don't see why LDM shouldn't.

Normally, the mod_rewrite commands you quoted should work with the .htaccess file, but it doesn't. When i'm clicking some LDM category shown as /local_links/jump/1/1 , i'm getting "No input file specified".

Inside the LDM admin settings there is an option :

mod_rewrite
File containing LDM mod_rewrite definitions. See manual: this is not a general-purpose replacement for the apache mod_rewrite facility.

I'm thinking this may be the problem if the error is "No input file specified"
I also made a text file with the mod_rewrite rules and added the path to this mod_rewrite setting, getting the same error.

I had this problem with 2.2.6 , update to 2.2.7 didn't do any good
The script is running well, i'm not complaining, but if i could make the seo links it would be better.
Thanks again.
