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.

04.02.08: patch-cat.xml 'extra' uploaded - see first post for information

27.10.07: Version 2.2.8-post1 uploaded
French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

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.

Make xml backup, copy files into forums... then import new product with overwrite and that's it? o_?

Or just use the VB admincp/maintenance/backup

Upload files

Import/overwrite.

just installed and working fine so far. I like how the links are presented, and there seems to be alot of functionality, statistics etc.

I dont like much the presentation of the editing pages, and some weird fields like "Review frequency" and other strange options, which my members will sure scratch their heads. Seems a little user unfriendly, but other then that its good.

40 pages of phrases to translate makes me sad too :/

this seems the best links manager I seen on these forums yet

You can turn off many of those options on the edit pages by removing permissions on the LDM admin pages.

What language are you translating into?

[Dream]
