I want to thank Andrew here in the thread for all his help in fixing my mistake earlier. The support is fantastic and the best I have seen here on the org in a long time. Thank you, sir, and keep up the great work.

cheers mate

Benj, the attached plugin will list the user's five most recent entries in her profile.

To use it, you need to do the following:
a) Create a new single line text profile field called "My Recent LDM Entries"
b) Import the attached xml as a new plugin

You will see the latest entries from users who leave the My Recent LDM Entries profile field blank

I'll integrate it properly into LDM with the next release.

The thread creation is *only* triggered if these conditions are met:

1) The new entry is given (explicitly or automatically) an "associated forum".
2) The forum is real and open (i.e. you've not set it up as a *category* forum or a *linked* forum* in the VB admin/forum pages)
3) The user who is creating the new LDM entry has permission to post in that forum

By default, LDM does not automatically associate new links with one of your forums, so by default, this *extra* will not do anything.

Further, by default, only admins can assign an associated forum - for them, the *Add Link* form will include a selection list titled "Parent Forum".

If you want to change this so that new entries from all users will have a default associated forum, you can do one of the following:

- Set *default_forumid* on the LDM admin/settings page to one of your forums. By itself, this will associate all new entries in all categories with the selected forum. So if this is all that you do, everytime a user creates a new entry in LDM, there will be a new thread in that forum.

- Edit one or all of your categories and set its *Parent Forum*. This will ensure that all new entries added to that category will be associated with the selected forum. So if this is all you do, each time a user creates a new entry in LDM, the new thread will be created in the forum that you've just associated with the category

- Give one or more of your usergroups *can_set_permissions* permission, on the LDM Admin/Permissions page. This will allow users in these groups to decide for themselves the forum with which to associate the new entry, an dtherefore which forum will contain the new thread. (This permission allows users to do a couple of other things too, so take care if you don' trust your users.)

got it to work, thank you!! i wish all hack authors were as good with support as you are

I fixed that now. My problem was I had also Installed ecdownloads and I did not like it, so I removed the plugin but not the files. I had two dowloads.php and thats why following the instructions did not work.

Thanks

- In the category/categories where you want them to be able to upload, Edit Category, select third tab (User Group Permissions), and give them back *Can_upload_files* permission.

This permission will apply to the chosen category and *by default* to its subcategories. If you don't want it to apply to the subcategories, repeat the process in the subcategories and take the permission away again.

The basic point is that many of the permissions are inherited from the base level down through the tree structure.

I'm sorry I am just not seeing the 3rd step. I go to Admin Cpanel, choose catagories and the 3rd panel down is access permissions, but when I click edit it takes me to the forum permission editing (part of vb) not the LDM permission(s) editing.

Sorry, I've confused you.

These inherited permissions are set in the individual category edits, not in the admincp.

In LDM itself (not the LDM admin), go to the category of interest, then Edit Category, then you'll find that there are three tabs across the top. The third, at the far right of the screen is 'User Group Permissions'

Hi there

I see a little bug with the max filesize for upload files.

For example: the 'bmp' extension. The filesize in the Attachments Manager for this extension is '20000'. And in the little vbmenu (when you want to add a link), it says '2097152'.

In fact, it takes only the highest filesize of all extensions, not for each extension (I've set the mp3 extension to '2000000').

So, I think the 'fetch_uploadinfo' function must to have a patch for this

And your hack is great, I'll help you with translate your hack in French. For that, I've restarted a free translation. I must to translate each setting and all will be ok for release it

I want to turn back on my post. There is no bug in this part. There is '2097152' (about filesize) if you are an admin, which I don't check before. And for users who aren't admin, it takes the original values of the Attachments Manager.

Sorry for this wrong report.

But for the future translation, all is ok

OK, still testing and translating

I have a couple of questions, first, is it possible to open original image inside a html page... i want to show my logo and manybe add some instructions on how to download or set a wallpaper.

Now, second issue is related to templates, i've been searching to merge the title bar to that category bar -please see 123.jpg- So in other words, to show "Links and Downloads Manager: Categories" and to take one table out of the code. haven't been able to find the top table template, as you can see i foud the categories one

Now, in 124.jpg, Simiar problem, haven't been able to find the description header template. I want to use that info to show "Entries: Category, Description" in the same TD? And, where do i turn off that header?

Well, thank you for reading this
And thank you if some help is available

Thanks - indeed LDM behaves differently for admins and other users. This was a request from another user some time ago. So the rules are as follows:

a) For 'normal' users, max upload size is taken from the VB admin attachments table and depends on the filetype
b) For admins, the limit is taken from the php.ini variables that define the maximum upload that the site will allow ('post_max_size' and 'upload_max_filesize')

All these tables and their title bars are created in the links_main template. The contents of the category and entry tables is build up in a series of other templates.

Easiest way to find out which template is doing what is to turn on display of template names in the main VB admincp - General Settings.

hi-i was wondering if there's any way to edit subcategories? for example, ive got the category "audio/gigs" and then i've got subcategories for each gig "brussels", "london", ect, and under those are the actual links..but i noticed that once i make the "brussels" subcategory, there's no way to go back afterwards and edit it...or is there and i'm just not seeing it?

thanks

[arcadian_girl]

nevermind, figured it out
