Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.3.0 of LDM is now the official release. This works with both VB3.7 and VB3.8. You can obtain it here

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

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

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.

OK, I thikk it was a good idea (I mean forum-based rights), but it's not working.

I tried to set the rights in PhpMyAdmin, but there is another problem.

For examle, I have 61 categories. I dont know, why You create new records for each category in local_linksadmin, but I can see



As You can see, there are no category_id 60 and 61, but there are 67, 76, 77, 78, etc.

I need to change some permisson for category_id 60 and 61.

How can I do it? Thanks.

P.S. Sorry for my English

LDM permissions can be set globally (using LDM/admin/permission) or per-category (Edit Category/permissions). You do not need to use phpmyadmin.

If you want to set the permission for category 60, go to the category with this id, edit the category, and set the required permission using the permissions tab.

Now, about the links_admin table. For each permission, there is always a row in this table for the global permission. There is also a row for each category in which you have edited the value using Edit Category.

So why not a row for each category? This is because permissions are inherited. When LDM displays a category, it looks up the nearest permission - in this category if available, in its parent category if not, and so on, until it finds the global value.

Not sure which problem you are referring to?

Happy to take a look at your board if you send me a PM with details (url + an admin account)

This prevents php scripts from reading and writing files except in directories specified in its setting or in their subdirectories.

It looks to me as if the setting of open_basedir on your server does not allow scripts to read/write files that are actually within your web site directories (which DOC_ROOT points to).

The message

web server DocRoot /servers/httpd/htdocs seems to point to a non-existent directory

actually means "I can't find out if the directory exists or not", and the reason is that your php.ini setting of open_basedir is forbidding this to happen.

If there is a good reason for excluding your web site from the open_basedir setting, you can still get LDM to work, but you have to make sure that uploads and and files that you provide to your community are stored in directories that are authorised by open_basedir. LDM will not be able to store thumbnails of images, because these have to be placed within the web site itself.

You achieve this using the LDM settings local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix. This is explained in the wiki, see url in the first post.

If you don't understand what I'm saying, you will need to speak to your site admin

I'm sorry, I have no idea. I have just run a test to import this module and it works fine for me.

Which version of vbadvanced are you using?

Do you mean that you are getting warning/error messages about uploads?

This usually happens when the site's server is configured to prevent uploads. I can't be more helpful without seeing the exact information.

[Gostemilov]

Which version of vbadvanced are you using?

- vBadvanced CMPS 2.2.1

I've upgrade to v.3.0Rc1 and there was no problem with uploading module. But I can't see this module on the main page. The module is placed in the center column and is active.
