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.

I use force_redirect = 0 because its hide source link 100% and much secure
but when I try to download any rar files , its will not show the file size "unknown"

and I add the extension rar in attachment manager

I tried to make admin > statistic > validate
and its give me this
/file1.rar (next, quit): size 0
-- 2 file2.rar (next, quit): size 0
-- 3 file3.rar (next, quit): size 0

and make them as broken link , but its already working ,but can't see the file size while download

what can I do to use force_redirect = 0 and show file size

I'm sorry, I have tried your sequence
- add a .rar file
- add rar and mimetype data to vb/admincp
- revalidate

and the filesize shows up correctly. I'm not sure what to suggest.

Normal service is being suspended for the next 3 weeks....

There have been no reports of problems with the 2.2.8 RC2 version of LDM, so I'm hoping to make this the official release shortly after I return.

Hi Andrew and the others,

I have a new problem concerning the search-engine in the LDM.
In every entry of my linklist is an email adress. when normal browsing the entries it's correct. but when using search engine, its a big mistake concerning the email adresses.

see the screen for more details. is this a bug, and how can i solve this?

btw. it's not just this entry, every entry with an email adress in it is affected.

[obmob]

Hmm... that seems to be a code bug... i've never used an email address inside LDM, let me see if i can search for something, though, i'm more a designer rather than a coder.

Andrew will return in 3 week!

A few questions as I'm new to this and configuring it now

1. How do I change the font style / color under category description? Also, color of "*new*" font before new entry title.

2. By default all media players are enabled. If I'm not mistaken, is there an embedded way to play these media within LD instead of opening a new window or software?
