Can you briefly explain how I would be able to set up entries that are password protected on a remote server?

Use apache's authenication methods to protect the directory of interest (e.g. an htaccess file or instructions in the httpd.conf file), for instance mysecuresite/files

Support you have a username 'alloweduser' with password 'mypassword'. Then set up the LDM entry to file1.typ in LDM using the following format:

http : // alloweduser:mypassword @ mysecuresite/files / file1.typ

Make sure that no-one other than yourself is able to edit entries in LDM or acces the LDM admin pages, otherwise they can find out the password.

This mod is *swears** awesome! lol

Well not long had it installed to be honest, but all the features it has, etc so far looks very promising.

One thing though is that I dont see the "upload progress bar" feature anywhere. Hasnt it been added to the dlm mod yet or something?

This mod has great potential. Please keep up the good work :up:

cheers chris

When I add say a keyword “tech’d up trance” and go back to the page the keyword shows as “tech/'d up trance” trance. Problem with quotes or something. Im not sure. Only thing ive noticed so far

Cheers

The dowload progress bar is available when you use the flash upload 'extra' - take a look in the 'extras' directory for 'swfuploader'. It was only just added - I will consider making it mainstream in a while provided it proves completely reliable.

It's a problem with escaping quotes to preven people hacking the database. I'll take a look.

Ok great. i will try it. any reason why the its limited to 100MB though just that i will be letting my members upload promotional dj mixes/productions. the upload limit ill be allowing is 200mb. what will happen if they try and upload a file over 100mb. will the upload flash progress bar stop working?

It's limited to 100MB because that's all that adobe flash will handle. I don't know what will happen if someone tries to go over the limit. I imagine the upload will fail.

Progress bars are not easy to code purely in php - there is one solution I found on the net, bit it requires a particular version of php and even then is unreliable.

I'm not sure I follow - these seem to work ok for me. What's not working?
