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.

Have you uploaded the icons? (Look in the zip file /release/icon) - Decide where you want to store them, ftp upload the directory, then set the icon path.

Unfortunately, this is not the way that vb works - when the code uses this phrase, it is given precisely the right variables to complete it. You would have to start modifying includes/local_face.php, around line 207.

- Discussion Threads are not automatically added as subscribed threads.

- It would be great if a automatic thread prefix be set for discussion threads.

- Currently discussion threads are flooding my forums. More control on autocreate would be great. What do you think of a 'create discussion thread' button for entries that do not have discussion threads yet?
Another idea that i like is to send all discussion threads through vb's moderation queue, for approval by the moderator.

Noted - these are all bugs/suggetsions which will need some thought.

then vb gives me an error because there is no opening ( in the code. I can not leave it out either as that doesn't work. Can you please elaborate?


I encounter the same problem here.

I'm sorry, the closing parenthesis was a typo in both cases - are you saying that the test doesn't work when you leave it out?

Yes, I uploaded the icons to that specified directory and that did not work. I gave the exact full path and I also tried the local path and both did not work. So, then I tried to put the icons in another folder and it still says the same.

Like I said, everything is done exactly how your directions say to do it and it does not work.

Hello Andrew!

Thanks for the mod and for the latest update.

I just did the upgrade to 2.2.8 post1. All the links and categories are working fine, but I notice that in the administer are, many of the options settings are turned yellow, like I have override in the categories, when in fact I have only two categories that I have override the settings. Here is an example:

This is a modification in behaviour in 2.2.8 post 1 - yellow now shows that the setting *can* be changed, not that it *has* been changed.

Check whether your site php has open_basedir set (vb/admin/maintenance/phpinfo) and that the icon directory is within the allowed space. If that's ok send me a PM and I'll gladly take a look.

open_basedir - no value - no value
