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.

When trying to upload the product, I get these messages:

Importing Product, Please Wait...

And it continues to load forever. Why is this happening? Thanks.

Yay! I figured it out. Never mind!

Strange, I update to 2.2.7 and now I can only upload new downloads but can not link files already on the server. There is no place to enter the URL of the file when editing the entry. Not even for the files I already have setup and are linking to. Any ideas?

Check that you have actually uploaded all the new php files correctly.

Sometimes, strange things happen because there is a mix of old and new files on the server.

If this is not the reason, I will be happy to take a look at your site.

This was easy to do. It will be in the final 2.2.7 - later today, unless someone throws a big problem at me......

I've uploaded a new release of version 2.2.7, which (provided there are no serious reported bugs) will soon become the supported version.

Please remember to backup your database before upgrading. Please report experiences.

Obmod - I'm very sorry - there's a few more phrases to translate.

This release fixes all bugs that have been reported to me, and also includes many of the suggestions made in the last four weeks (althoug *not* the request for extra fields in the linkbit).

Bug fixes and other changes
- Admin/*cat_desc_popup* option enables a popup showing category's extended description next to the category title in the catbit
- Admin/*word_wrap* controls where long titles/words in text gain a space to allow then to wrap correctly
- Admin/allowances blanks out non-enabled form fields
- Admin/hits improvements and fixes to selection criteria
- Admin/imports and exports are allowed up to 60 seconds cpu if php installation allows this
- Admin/mass edits include 'process all pages' and regex-based edits on several fields with count of entries affected by edit
- Admin/permissions includes transpose opion to list everything by usergroup
- Admin/settings, more settings (including *force_redirect*) can be re-configured on a per-category basis
- Admin/settings *local_file_root_prefix* and *force_redirect*=2 now work correctly together
- Category synchronisation does not create/deletes categories where there are no entries or subcategories
- Hit recording coding error fixed for null entries
- Linkbit/better flagging of expired/not yet visible entries
- Linkbit/date fields fixed with languages that have format overrides
- Main page/warning message displayed if database/category is empty or if current user is not allowed to see anything
- Search/advanced search on category and subcategories no longer produces ridiculous category list
- Search/similarity search bugs fixed (php4 and general sql errors)
- User profile listing includes "show all my entries" link
- vbAdvanced/advanced search module added
- vbAdvanced/thumbs, hot, new modules have new parameter to specify entries per row
- added player for Veoh flash video site via 'extra'

Is there a way to get new comments included into the 'new posts' function of vbulletin?

Does a search intergration with vbulletin's search engine exist?
