Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

What this is and does

LDM is a general-purpose tool for managing libraries of links and files, and handling uploads and downloads in a flexible way, while tracking and control user access. It has a range of integrated media players and a large library of 'plugin' extras.

Installation and Usage Explained in the on-line Wiki, with a brief explanation in the file instructions.txt in the release zip. The recent revision history is given in the first post of this thread.

Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread.

14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is now the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8. Please post comments in this thread

22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the previous supported version. Works fine with all versions of vb 3.6 and vb 3.7. All standard features except profile integration and forum prefix selection work fine with vb 3.8.

If I could perhaps give individual users more hits or reset the hits they currently used, either would be great!

Thanks man.

It's not easy (without rewriting quite a lot of the code) to give individual users a temporary extra allowance or temporarily ignore the allowances for them only. The change I've made will allow you to tell LDM to treat an individual user's hits for the last 24 hours as being 'zero size'. LDM does not count such hits against either the files or the bytes allowances.

Edited - moved to start of thread

I tested the feature and it looks like it only works with the allowances and not the limitaccess-byhits-plugin. I like the idea a lot but is there a way to make it work with this plugin as well?

Nice updates in the RC btw!

hi Andrew,
thanks for the update
i have tested the new version, but it seems not to be able to seo category names correctly
example:
catid:13
catname: Some Name
seo name (output): c-Some Name-13
which should be: c-some-name-13 (no CAPS and - instead of space)
and for some reason i couldn't get it to work.

thanks a lot again

Yes, this works fine now. Thanks

Edit: I couldn't get the seo links to work with vBSEO. I asked on their forums last night but haven't had a reply yet

Feel free to test it if you like Andrew

Sorry, I'd missed the capitals and spaces. Here's a modified version of includes/local_links_include.php

If you set seo_friendly to 2, you need a different set of mod_rewrite rules. These are the ones I am using as test. If you also set seo_title, then you need to replace local_links in the first part of each rule by your seo_title:

RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?catid=$2 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$		$1local_links.php?catid=$2&linkid=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/jump/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=jump&catid=$2&id=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/play/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=play&catid=$2&linkid=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)(\?page=[0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?catid=$2&page=$3	[R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/play/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)(\?page=[0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=play&catid=$2&linkid=$3&page=$4	[R,L]

I don't have access to the relevant part of the LDM admin - the maintenance section is restricted to superadmins.

Have you taken a look at the mod_rewrite rules I have posted in the wiki? I don't know how vbseo works - I have never bought a copy.

[webgeek247]

Hmm, you have the same admin rights as me. There isnt and Super Admin group on my forum. Just Admin. Will send you pm Andrew.

[webgeek247]

Pm sent.
