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.

Although I 've read the topic carefully, I still don't know how to use the Media Player!

I just saw the blank box to enter the media url , can't see anywhere a function to turn media player on (I've already turned can_play_media on for all users). And when view the links&download section, I clicked on the items' titles and it just download, no media player appear! (my computer can view most of online films easily)

Thanks for your support!

Have you also configured it under media players? Make sure the "enabled" box is checked at the top right of each player you want to use. I can't remember if these are checked by default.

Hi Andrew, was wondering if it's possible to set up links categories as rss feeds?

And how can I change it, if I want 2 usergroups give access to administer LDM?

I am trying to use the mirror function of 2.8.8
Let's say I don't host any files on http://www.website.com
But all files are hosted at these external mirros instead:
east1.website.com
central1.website.com
west1.website.com

I would like to give the users a choice of which one to download from.

how would I properly set this up as I put the location of the file as east1.website.com/file

Would I put http://website.com/file instead?

any entry gets a primary link as always.
to use mirror sites feature you MUST have the same directory structure on your other servers.
example:
main server base url: http://server1.com/some_folder/your/directory/structure/file.name
the part "your/directory/structure/file.name" should always remain. the only thing which changes, is: http://server1.com/some_folder/
you can rewrite it with http://server2.com/some_other_folder/your/directory/structure/file.name
to have the primary link in the list, you should rewrite it with itself....
i hope it would help you
