If you want to do something fancier (e.g. autolink a jpg to an avi or create a thumbnail by referring to an external source), then this needs a plugin. Maybe I missed something in your question?

Hi AndrewD.
Yes, this works, I know. But I like to use a Thumbnail Service to create the image (of the linked Webside). The idea is, that the thumbnail is created automatically if I enter a URL.

Now I understand. This is (I think) easy to do with a plugin. Send me a pm with details of the thumbnail service you want to use and I'll take a look.

installed this hack as per instructions and all loaded up all ok but when i go to update any settings in the admin section of local links the following is displayed:

The following setting(s) are invalid
upload_dir : forums/ldm_upload
Directory forums/ldm_upload (/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/_ldm/forums/ldm_upload) doesn't exist and I can't create it

i have the ldm_upload in the correct place but noticed in the full location the file says

httpdocs/_ldm/forums/ldm_upload

but the address should be

httpdocs/forums/ldm_upload which file do i edit to change this line?

That particular piece of code is using this logic:

-> if you've set the LDM/admin setting 'local_file_root', then it's simply concatenating 'local_file_root_prefix and 'upload_dir', both set on the LDM admin/settings page

-> Alternatively, it's concatenating LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT, 'local_file_root_prefix' and 'upload_dir', where

LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT is either:
-> taken from your php.ini' $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
or
-> set in includes/local_init.php

My guess is that you've set local_file_root_prefix to _ldm on the ldm admin settings page.

thanks for the info makes sense about concatenating will reinstall and try again

Request.

Andrew, I know you had a reason for this, but i'd love to see it as an option.

I'd like for the synchronization to be able to create threads. I don't add stuff all that often, but if you could specify an account, and then have it create based off that userid, it would be uber-sweet.

No problem, will sort out how to make this an option.

hi,

i am using ldm_new.module, everything is perfect. the only thing is that, i have sub categories and when i specify the main category, it wont list the entries in the subcategories.
i need this for 3 levels subcategories (i.e. main cat-->sub cat 1-->sub cat 2-->entry)

could you please help me do this?

thanks in advance

ADD*: which template should i use to show thumbnails instead of text links. i am currently using links_vbathumbs, but Category Strips are not shown correctly. image attached

Sir, I am having a small problem. I have had this running for a long while. I upgraded the LDM system to the latest one when it came out. now i get weird messages. I think I remember how to correct this. but I cant remember. here is the message after somone posts a download.

"This page is not designed to be access directly."

if you can, or know how to fix this, can you please give me a clue how to fix this.

There is 1 more thing. and didnt notice this till someone pointed this out to me today. it seems every time we upgrade this LDM for some reason all of the pictures of the download has dissapeared on all of them.

the only way to correct it, is to go and press edit, and then just scroll down to the bottm and press submit and it will fix it. without any edits. its a weird weird one, I tried to look for a way to make sure the paths are ok, and other tings, but it seems that its a weird problem

Just in case for your FYI

VB Version is the latest release
Your version is the lates release

also my server stats

Kernel version 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL
Machine Type i686
Apache version 1.3.33 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.0
PHP version 4.3.11
MySQL version 4.0.27-standard


Thanks in advance.

Update..

After Re - Installing the Product xml it took out the message "This page is not designed to be access directly."

That took care of it, but the problem is that it keeps doing it after so many weeks. I carry a large load of downloads in Your program like over 2500 and growing. I am wondering if that may or may not have anyting to do with it??

I remember when I had a other junk portal "xoops" it could not handle the large downloads, hence the reason I had to change. but they could not come up with a solution for larger type database for downloads.

Again I am wondering if that may or may not be a problem

Thanks again

I recall your report in October. I've never seen this message - there is no such message in LDM and I can't find it in the VBulletin code anywhere either.

I did a search on Google for the text "This page is not designed to be access directly." There are two hits, your report fror LDM and this report in the VB Events Forum archive (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/archi.../t-123416.html)

When I submit the Save Event button, I am getting this error:

This page is not designed to be access directly.


It looks is missing the info on the link, any idea what could casue this problem.

Anyway, Gerakus I solved my issue. It was caused by the Talker Bot hack.

edited: - I took a look at the talker bot code. The message "This page is not designed to be access directly" appears at the start of one of its files. The code reads as follows:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

The code is called from at least one plugin called "Talkerbot - Include The Bot", which hooks into the newpost_complete hook in VB. The newpost_complete hook is used in the code to create new posts, which is called when LDM 'autocreates' threads.

So what I think is happening is the following:
- you've installed talker bot
- you've also installed the autocreate_threads extra for LDM
talker_bot is not expecting this and gives you the error message you see.

Unfortunately, it's not a problem that I can fix - you'll have to take this up with the author of talker_bot

LDM creates a thumbnail whenever it thinks it needs one. If you've set up a 'thumbs_dir' on the admin page, it saves the thumbnail as a file in 'thumbs_dir' and keeps a record in the database. The problem you describe occurs when the record in the database points to a file which no longer exists, for example if the file structure for the website changes or (perhaps ) I have made a change in the logic. I don't know which is the case for your situation.

When you edit and save an entry, LDM always recreates the thumb, in case there are any changes.

One way to fix this for all entries is to go to LDM/admin/statistics/reset thumbs
