LDM extends VBulletin to manage a library of documents, files and links to other web sites. Documents can be stored on your own web site, stored on your server separate from the web site, uploaded by your user community, or held somewhere else altogether. So you can use LDM to provide your user community with access to your own files and allow them to share files with each other.
12/08/06 - Versions that work with vb36 are available and supported in the VB36 thread. Version 2.2.1, which works with VB 3.5 but not with VB 3.6, remains available here.
Thanks to everyone who has helped with all the design, testing, etc.
Translations are provided (thanks dLutt and LeeWicked) into German, (thanks to Allan) into French, and (thanks to Hugo) into Spanish. Harry1951 has handled the Dutch translation.
LDM installs as a VBulletin product. There are no modifications required to standard VB code.
Basically - upload php files and run the installer through VB's Product installer. No changes needed to VB code. Remember to BACKUP YOUR DATABASE. By default, LDM prefixes its database tables 'local_'. Edit the configuration file, local_links_init.php, if you need/wish to change this.
LDM can handle an essentially unlimited number of categories and nested subcategories, and an unlimited number of entries (hyperlinks or downloadable files). Each entry can be placed in one or several categories. Categories can have styles. Descriptions and titles can optionally include BBcodes, smilies, images and html, giving the possibility to add images, colouring, etc. File types can be flagged using icons and individual entries can also have associated thumbnail images.
Standards templates are provided for libraries of links, files, documents, and photographs.
Users can offer comments and rate the links/downloads. Each user is allowed one rating and many comments per entry, and can freely edit these if they change their mind.
Permission to use specific features is established via the product's admin page, where the administrator specifies which usergroups can add and edit entries, comment and rate these entries, moderate, etc.
By default, all entries are visible to all users. You can restrict visibility/access to links and categories by using the permissions masks from your board's forums.
Moderation of new entries is available but turned off by default.
Users can report bad links to the relevant moderators/administrators.
Each user can flag links as his/her "Favourites".
Modules are provided for VBAdvanced.
Hooks are provided in suitable places in LDM and sample plugins are included in the release (see extras directory), for example to integrate with ID3 tags in mp3 files, for slideshows, to autocreate new threads in your forums, etc.
Plus much more.

You just upload the php files, then reinstall product_eirma-ldm.xml via the VB Product Manager. Select Add/Import Product, upload product_eirma-ldm.xml, making sure you select Allow Overwrite.
Yes, these are two different possibilities - a link may be valid but broken (e.g. www.site.com, where site.com exists but is down) or invalid - someonne has entered a link which is syntactically incorrect
Sorry, I guess I didn't explain it very well. What I meant was it looks as though there is one line under both links. It makes it look like one link instead of 2.
