French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

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.

*edit*
resubmitting them 1 by 1 seems to fix them, is there another way to do this without having to edit each link with a thumbnail image?

I've had steady problems getting the image handling to work well - probably more red cross errors than any other. Each time I think I've got it sorted... Sorry

Really, to get a handle on this, I need to take a look at your site - can you PM me with details + an admin uname and password. Thanks.

Not currently - this would create a potential security problem.

If the two sites are actually running on the same server, you can achieve this effect with the LDM admin setting local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix, so that all LDM files are located based on the server file system rather than the web site root directory.

However, you should understand what you are doing before making this switch.

Hi,

I tried to bring some infos of the system to my CMPS 2.2.0 portal page but it did not work.
I checked the documentation and followed it to bring the latest links to a module but all I get is this:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare empty_category() (previously declared in /forum/includes/functions_gallery.php:2069) in /forum/includes/local_links_include.php on line 2935

I am using LDM 2.2.5

Yes, sorry about that - I introduced a new function into LDM that has the same name as a function used in VB Gallery.

I'll post new code this evening to fix the problem - there are instructions earlier in this thread but not complete.

WOW! INSTALLED!

Would ie be possible to have the user-side interface in DUTCH and the ADMIN-SIDE interface in ENGLISH.

With all respect for the person who translated it but I really have difficulties reading that and I would like to see a ENGLISH settings page.

(and to be honest atm I cant find where to go to a category to uploading files and stuff?)
(I dont understand anything of it.. Even when Im reading the manual atm)
