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.

Example, create custom field "fotolog" for links

The link "Fotolog Pubs" Feed from http://www.fotolog.com/pubschile

http://www.fotolog.com/pubschile/feed/main/rss20

Thanks in advance.-

Not currently, but several people have asked for this. It's on the list of things to think about.

ldm_start
ldm_addlink_inserted
ldm_sync_link_inserted
ldm_editlink_accept_complete
ldm_ratelink_complete

Thank you!
That was the problem.

This is a small thing - but if it's easy to deal with, I would love to know where the switch is...

Is there a way when the file 'local_links.php' is loaded that the name "Links and Download Manager" can be changed to another name? I would like to give the product a name of something that reflects its role on our site, rather than the software's actual name (showing it's name at the bottom is ok - like the vBulletin name, etc)...

Is it possible to change the name that's displayed to the users?

Thanks,
-Sean
