Links and Downloads Manager

LDM extends VBulletin to manage a library of documents, files and links to other web sites. Documents can be stored on your own web site, stored on your server separate from the web site, uploaded by your user community, or held somewhere else altogether. So you can use LDM to provide your user community with access to your own files and allow them to share files with each other.

12/08/06 - Versions that work with vb36 are available and supported in the VB36 thread. Version 2.2.1, which works with VB 3.5 but not with VB 3.6, remains available here.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with all the design, testing, etc.
Translations are provided (thanks dLutt and LeeWicked) into German, (thanks to Allan) into French, and (thanks to Hugo) into Spanish. Harry1951 has handled the Dutch translation.

Screenshots, Instructions and How to Install

Full details and instructions are available as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager

LDM installs as a VBulletin product. There are no modifications required to standard VB code.

Basically - upload php files and run the installer through VB's Product installer. No changes needed to VB code. Remember to BACKUP YOUR DATABASE. By default, LDM prefixes its database tables 'local_'. Edit the configuration file, local_links_init.php, if you need/wish to change this.

LDM can handle an essentially unlimited number of categories and nested subcategories, and an unlimited number of entries (hyperlinks or downloadable files). Each entry can be placed in one or several categories. Categories can have styles. Descriptions and titles can optionally include BBcodes, smilies, images and html, giving the possibility to add images, colouring, etc. File types can be flagged using icons and individual entries can also have associated thumbnail images.

Standards templates are provided for libraries of links, files, documents, and photographs.

Users can offer comments and rate the links/downloads. Each user is allowed one rating and many comments per entry, and can freely edit these if they change their mind.

Permission to use specific features is established via the product's admin page, where the administrator specifies which usergroups can add and edit entries, comment and rate these entries, moderate, etc.

By default, all entries are visible to all users. You can restrict visibility/access to links and categories by using the permissions masks from your board's forums.

Moderation of new entries is available but turned off by default.

Users can report bad links to the relevant moderators/administrators.

Each user can flag links as his/her "Favourites".

Modules are provided for VBAdvanced.

Hooks are provided in suitable places in LDM and sample plugins are included in the release (see extras directory), for example to integrate with ID3 tags in mp3 files, for slideshows, to autocreate new threads in your forums, etc.

Plus much more.

Coming back to this problem. Your image shows a url that starts www.mysite.net. Is this really what you are seeing? Or have you edited this?

The rest of the url is indeed the correct link to your avatar - I took a download of the relevant tables from your database, and it's correct.

My Users can't add links.

All permissions set fine (i think)... If they add a link, they get the screen adding a page, can add Name and Description, but the fields behind "URL" and "Picture" are not there... There is no inputfiled....

Any ideas ? (if this is a known problem: SORRY, please point my tp the right post. I really searched this thread about this Topic )

My Version is 2.1.6

Thanks dudes.

This is not a known problem, and I'm bemused. Can you send me a PM with details of your site?

[johnim]

In usegroups I created new usergroup "users download".

Then I created user "Test" and I set his his primary group "registered users" a secondary group "users download". In LDM settings is for this "users download" group set, they can add and edit links, but it isn't works. When I set group "users download" like his primary group and "registered users" like secondary, feature add & edit links works fine. Where is the problem? Must be a group, which is set in LDM always set like primary in VB settings dor this user "Test"?

My version LDM is 2.1.6

thx

Andrew, PM sent.

Thanks

yup. that's really what I see... I didn't edit it.
here's what I see (right click >> properties):

htt.p://www.MYSITE.net/image.php?u=2&dateline=1142819619

interesting I don't remember that being an avatar last version.. but eitherway it only started breaking this version (rc3). Other postbit styles don't seem to have any issue either.

dunno. :/
