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.

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.

My mistake, will fix. (Getting the templates to work properly for single and multicolumn display has been a real pain...)

This is supposed to be controlled by the LDM admin setting *length_shortname*. Unfortunately, I make a mistake in the RC code, and it is actually controlled by *length_shortdesc* at the moment.

b) And how to use wimp player and wimpy wasp ? (I have put the licence in the wasp.js).

c) It will be good if JW player is active for the library, we can choose to use wimply player in vbadvanced for some module that we want (when the module is in the right of the left, wimpy player can works very good because he is small). But if the module is in the center, we use jw player.

a) Have you cleared the browser cache? Does you site have the right url for the wimpy button registration code? (If you register the licence for sitename.fr, then it will work on all sites xxx.sitename.fr) Is the registration code for this version of the wimpy button?

Installing the registration code works fine for me.

b) Have you read the instructions in the extras/wimpy directory? You edit wimpy.js or wasp.js to include the registation code, and install the plugin in the normal way.

I am very sorry. I like your product but it's just simple suggestions if you want.

For wimpy, I will see more.

The product works very good for me in 3.8.2.

Thanks.

This turned out to be easier than I expected. There will be a new 'extra' (vba-media) in the next upload which allows you to control which columns the JWplayer and Wimpy Button media players are active, along with fixes to the vba templates.

Thanks very mush for your works.

there is a little bug with the moidule ldm_cats.php in internet explorer :

Andrew, i've not upgraded to this RC yet, i will later tonight, on upgrade will all my previous settings etc still be in place?

Also, i have to say what a huge amount of work you have gone to, i just checked out all those extras that you have worked on - simply fantastic!

For some reason that I do not understand, even though your file is less that 1Mb in size, the php function that converts it to a thumbnail grabs 39Mb in order to do the job. If your php installation sets a lower value of memory_limit than this (check vb/admincp/php info, then your php.ini file), LDM fails with a blank screen. You are the first person to discover this problem in 5 years, I think

On my test system, everything works fine with your image (which is beautiful, by the way) when memory_limit is set to 40Mb and higher. I would recommend a value of 64Mb or more.

Let me know if this solves the problem.

ou are the first person to discover this problem in 5 years, I think

oh great

btw, ill check the information you gave and reply you asap
Thank you andrewD for the kind corporation
