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.

1) You can do this quite easily yourself (if you feel adventurous). Edit (vb admincp) the plugin "Links and Downloads Manager - Use Wimpy Button to play mp3 media" which is attached to the "ldm_linkbit_create" hook. Find the line which reads

PHP Code:

$linkurljump = $linkname; 


and put two // at the front of the line, i.e.

PHP Code:

// $linkurljump = $linkname; 


2) Be aware that Wimpy's playlists do not use the same format as JWPlayer.

There is wimpy rave, that I think has the same format of jw player :

Hi Andrew, it's been a long time and I hope you've been well. I recently upgraded my board completely to 3.8.2 and upgraded the newest version of LDM along with it, and I'm happy to report that it all works beautifully (except for the LDM entries in the User Profiles, but that's not a big deal).

Now for my quick question - is there a simple way to add a link to the LDM entries submitted by a poster in the postbit? I did a search in this thread and the prior version threads, but nothing concrete found.

Thanks for the help, and best regards!

Sorry, there isn't this feature at present. I think it would be a fairly easy thing to code as an 'extra' - I'll give it some thought.

Hi Andrew,

will you upgrade your LDM to VB 3.8 ? Hope you will continue developing. Your Downloadmanager is really good, but need to improved. I am looking for a flash uploader over 100 MB. That would make much more easier.

If you look in the header post to this thread, you will find the link to version 2.3.0, which is intended for vb 3.8. In fact, practically everything in version 2.2.9 works fine with vb 3.8, apart from user profile integration (fixed in the release candidate code) and auto-announce thread prefixes (will be fixed in next upload)

Yes, within limits

The limit of 100Mb appears somewhere in the adobe flash documentation, so if it's real, it will apply to all flash uploaders. However, from a search on Google, I get the impression that no-one really knows if this is a real limit or not. I have just tried a 188Mb upload with the latest version of the swfupload 'extra' supplied with LDM 2.3.0. It worked fine. I suggest that you do some tests.

Hi Andrew,

Afraid I've found the new test version a bit difficult to use. I'm not very good at arranging templates and upon reverting them to the new version I find the templates not as I expected to see them in the current version.

Any idea why it looks so different to my templates at the moment?

I take it that the screenshots should be using the default templates and the url is how you want things to look (and is the correct default).

Can't say without looking at the templates. Do you want me to take a look at your upgraded site? Send me a PM with details if so.
