Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

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.

LDM will only accept as uploads filetypes that are defined in the VB attachments table (VB->admin->attachments), for which mimetype data are given. You can also restrict the VB list by providing a shorter list in the LDM admin upload settings but you cannot add a filetype there which is not in the main VB list.

I get you, no problem.

Can I just say what an excellent mod this is too!

Sorted.

For anyone who might have similar problems, need to use the function htmlspecialchars_uni() consistently, instead of htmlspecialchars()

Will be fixed in next upload.

I am getting an error in my apache logs.

[client 1.2.3.4] PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTPS in /xxx/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 1566, referer: http://xxx/forum/local_links.php?catid=2&linkid=298

Everything seems to be working fine except on the first uploaded picture it picked up a comment from an older entry.

I removed all mods before upgrading to 3.6, including this mod. The installed the new version.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

The apache error is reporting use of an unset array element in the depths of the VB code. Perhaps it should be reported to the VB folks themselves - as far as I can see, it is not connected with LDM nor serious.

Edit: There are many unset variables in the vb code (and a few in LDM) which will get reported in the Apache error log depending on the error settings in your php.ini/httpd.conf files. They are not generally serious, since php autocreates variables when it needs them.

This is a great mod! Is there anyway to have the artist photo included on the embedded jukebox page?

Yes. In the 'extras' directory in the release zip, there is an add on called 'id3-handles'. If you install this, it will automatically display the embedded album cover art from any mp3 that is being played.

1. Thumbnails or larger thumbnails are not shown in my installation.

If I click on the thumbnail image I get a white new page with this
http://www.domain.com/forum/local_resize.php?pic='forum/ldm_uploads/imageuploads/577811549553177430.jpg'&size=600
instead of the resized image.
