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.

Screenshots, Instructions and How to Install

Full details and instructions are available as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager

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.

Hello,

does anybody know, how i can have small pictures into my links? (like shown in the first post (right thumbnail))

I would like to have previews of the linked webpage or my own pictures in every link. I didn't saw a chance to get this...

Regards, Wachtmeister

Alternatively, maybe you could do something like they did for the Drupal extension. When new blogs are posted to Drupal ...it autmatically creates a thread in a forum of your choice. then people can comment on it from there. just a thought but the point is... love the plans for new features, but tighter integration with the forums I think one of, if not, the most important as that just really makes this that much more an indespensible seamless part of the vbull system.

What do others think?

There is more than one approach.

You can either change the setting database_name on the LDM admin/settings page or you can go into the phrase manager for phrase ll_links_database

Two ways: either set link_imagesize to a positive value on the admin page, then the links entry form will expand to include an image field (more control, auto resizing), or use BBCodes (more flexible, no resizing)

Thank you!


Is it also possible to show the links as a light version?

Just one row with linkname, rating, hits ?

I played with the templates and it is not easy. Maybe someone has already done this?

Yes, Administrator can do everything. I also cannot add links (but thats maybe, because there are no categories)

//edit: no chance. uninstalled, reinstalled. german/english... import works, but i cannot create categories.

//edit2: seems like my ftp did not overwrite some old files. my fault
