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.
Ok .. after ticking the right box I then entered a test link with my test user. I have a bug
If a link is still waiting to be moderated, the user who submitted it can see it and the admin can see it. If another normal user looks they can't see it, but the category the moderated link is in changes to bold, with a new link date of the date of the submitted link.
Shouldn't this only happen once the link has been accepted?
Oh, and a suggestion ..
When deleting a moderated link could we please have a place to enter a reason for the deletion of the link, which could then be added to the email that's sent out to the member who added the link. I've not seen the rejection mail, but I'd like to be able to put something in there per link as to the reason it wasn't suitable.

Correct, it should... :tired:
But...
Correcting this opens up a real hornets' nest, as determining the most recent and the number of entries in a category depends on who's asking. This is fine when listing the detailed contents of the category - in this situation, one can pull all the correct items from the database. However, for the summary information (total entries, new entry in category), the code is optimised to avoid having to check everything. All the options seem unpleasant, so this is not a bug I am going to fix too quickly.

Ok
I suppose the way around it would be to put moderated entries into a separate area until they are ok'ed?
Whatever though, if it's a big job then don't worry about it, as it's something little really
Instead of Wimpy player, I substituted the flvplayer, but I don't know what settings to change in the wimpy.js file. Can we get a little help on this one?
Can you post how - it will save me having to work it out
Maybe, we'll see... I can't figure out why, but with the wimpy plugin installed that you specified in the extras, I hacked it up to work for the FLV player instead, the problem is that there is no where to specify what extentions for that player ONLY... if I want to use the jukebox now, I can only specify FLV files, and have to deny the rest. I don't know why, the IF statement about $player=="wimpy" is still intact along with all the others.... I can make you an admin on my site to see if you can correct that problem, then we can publish the code together honey bear.
It must have to do with the fact that the plugin changes ALL $player variables to "wimpy" and there is no specific section for FLV files to use the FLV player. Only Windows Media Player, QuickTime, DivX, and RealPlayer. How do I add a section to say that if extension = X, then $player = "flvplayer" ?

That's right - Wimpy plays most things and this was a quick plugin to demonstrate how to use it. Bear with me...
