Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

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. The recent revision history is given in the first post of this thread.

Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread.

14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is now the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8. Please post comments in this thread

22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the previous supported version. Works fine with all versions of vb 3.6 and vb 3.7. All standard features except profile integration and forum prefix selection work fine with vb 3.8.

Is there anyway that you can make so you can upload like 2 images to the file you've uploaded?

First (3 images or 1 showing the content of the file etc)

Second (When you've opened the file in the category).

Yes, this can be done with the "Additional Attributes" features. Basically, you define on the admin attributes page how many and what type of additional information you want to be able to add (extra images, extra files, etc). You then refine the settings on the category control settings page, to allow you to control the layout and display per-category.

These were a new feature in version 2.2.9, and the interface is still being developed, so the 2.3.0 beta will add more flexibility. However, they work, and I think they can do what you want.

Ah, very nice.

One thing though, I made a test file > http://crinale.com/forums/local_link...id=10&linkid=5

But the image doesn't work, I made so you have to put in a image URL but it seem not to work, nor show the thumbnail in the category list.

Andrew any ideas on the above?

[Simon Lloyd]

Is it possible to perhaps add a boolean something like in a php (don't know which one):

PHP Code:

if ($ldm_accep < '0')
{
     $ldm_denied = true;
}
else
{
     $ldm_denied = false;
} 


and then perhaps this in the links_agreement template (i guessed that one!):

PHP Code:

<if condition = "$ldm_denied">
     <span class="highlight">$vbphrase[ll_agreement_declined]</span>
</if> 


to show just the declined message, it doesn't matter about an ok button as in the message i have a link to take them back to forums.

OK, I've been trying to figure out how to use this, i want to use one entry per wallpaper set, some wallpapers have widescreen version and a normal one.

I only want to add some sort of text link or image link to allow widescreen download, doesn't matter if the thumbnail is only one... so. How can i do this?

Totally lost on attributes u.u

Hmm... Andrew is there a faq in your site for this?

Thanks
