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.

Andrew, do you know the solution to this?

Basically it adds tabs to the navbar. To let the right tab to highlight according to the members location, the code needs a conditional.

I think this will quickly show you how it works and what is needed:

Something similar to the last option would be needed.

BTW: what do you need to have translated to Dutch? Please send it to me and I'll try to whip it up before my vacation.

Edit: I just upgraded to 2.2.8 RC2 and got this message:

Critical error: different versions of software, templates, phrases and database.
Software: 2.2.8 database: 2.2.7
Cannot continue - ask administrator to correct.

I've attached the Dutch phrases file for LDM. It's easiest to edit the file directly, using notepad or something similar, although you can also do the job inside the VBulletin admin cp. Each line looks something like the following:

<phrase name="ldm_cp_categories" date="0" username="" version=""><![CDATA[Categorieen]]></phrase>

Its very important only to edit the part between "!CDATA[" and "]]", which contains the phrase. All of these need to be in Dutch - currently, quite a lot are the original English.

Some of the phrases include codes like "{1}" "{2}", etc. These indicate a place where something else will be filled in by LDM. You need to make sure that the word order in Dutch makes sense, so you may need to move the codes around in the phrase. However, they must be in the "right" places - so "{1}" can appear after "{2}".

I imagine you uploaded the code, but did not rerun the installer. Go to VB/admincp/products and plugins and upload the 2.2.8 LDM product installer.

Hi, and thanks for this work. There's still a few English phrases in the file you uploaded - maybe these got overlooked? I attach just the missing phrases, mainly in the WOL section.

oops sorry for thouble, obviously I uploaded the wrong file.
PS: Some phrases such as "bytes", "url" or "Mimetypes" are don't need to translate into chinese, cause we use them as normal.
