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.

Ah man... I am so sorry for bothering you with my mess up! I paid attention to all the files except for those directly in forums :blush Uploaded the new files and all works great Sorry!!!

Getting a weird mesage now when someone uploads using the prior version not 2.2.6

Im getting this message;

"This page is not designed to be access directly."

Any idead why I would be getting this message?

I have checked the permissions, they are all set correctly


never mind when i did a update to this, with 2.2.6 it fixed the problem, sorry i posted it but at leasts it info for you

[WebmasterSimds]

I take it back, I dont know what happened, but after i did the updates of the extras, that i aded like the forumshome and 2 others dealing with forums home then i started to get that message again. and I did the upgrade?

Now here is a question. what would cause this to give that message above?? a small glitch with using an extra? a change in the forum i change to have the posts about the downloads go there? I am comnfused, cause all i did was upgrade , recheck the settings, add a new forum so that the LDM system will post into that topic instead of the one i had before. and that was it. ( Trying to give you the most information I can for you to help me)

So im stuck.

Again when I do a upload it takes me to the message

"This page is not designed to be access directly"

now the upload will post, but i have to click the back button 3 times to get back to where i wanted tobe at. to see it.

So again confused. I hate to bother you with this, but its the weiredest thing that I cant figure out.

Thanks in Advance

I'm also confused. If you are quoting the phrase correctly, it doesn't appear anywhere in LDM or in VBulletin (not even "not designed"). Are you saying that you have other hacks installed alongside LDM? That's all I can think of - that the different hacks are interfering with each other. If you can narrow it down a bit (try disabling the plugins/hacks one at a time and find out when things work again), it may help.

I think I may have figured it out, and I dont know why this is not working, but when I install the one that you can have like a recent downloads on the main forms page, ( I added it below the Whats new area) thats when it started to give me that message,

it was iether that one, or the one that added the stats of the downloads in the whats new along side the posts, but im almost positive its when i installed the one that lets you show the latest downloads on the forums home page.

I do have several hack thype things but mostly the VBadvanced, and catagory images, VB Image hosting, and a few others here and there, all tested for 3.6 and above.

but what i di, I went and re installed the main XML file, and it stopped it from doing it again, so thats how i deducted it was that module that took it and gave me those messages.

Thanks AndrewD for helping me try to figure this one out

Thank you for the new release

The BBCode thing which I have reported, now works perferkt.

Sorry, maybe I am blind....but how you can report a broken link?
"can_report_link" is set correctly, but I can?t find any button to report an entry.
I use the "modern" style, but also in the others I can?t find anything...

see attached image. It's the red triangle. It only appears for entries that you did not submit yourself...

OK it was my fault, sorry.^^ Have checked with an other user account and it appears.

[EasyTarget]

is there a way to edit all entries which have a url of /forum/files to be changed to http://sitename.com/files?

I moved my hosting to have access to the machine but its a much slower file host. I left all my files on the previous host and want to just keep the path the same except lose the /forum part of it since there will no longer be forums at the old url.

even if its using the db to do it that's fine, I just don't want to go through 1 by 1 and edit them all if I don't have to. (I have a lot of files mixed in with other urls as well so I can't just edit every single entry)

I am using your hack but also had someone create a phrase and integrate it so that the welcome header box appeared the same whether logged in or not not registered. Obviously the message is different on the registered welcome header. I just like the uniform look. Maybe this could be worked into your hack?
