Post1 release of version 2.2.8 The first official release of version 2.2.8 contained an obscure bug affecting sites running Linux web servers on which the php.ini parameter *open_basedir* was set to allow more than one directory. The main change in the 2.2.8-post1 release is to correct that bug. Although there is no need to reinstall unless this bug affects your site, it is probably best to do so. Other changes in this bugfix release are:
- Fixed a spurious *rename* error message if the name of an uploaded file contains characters that are invalid on some operating systems
- Modified the number of "My Recent LDM Entries" and "What's Viewed" displayed in user profile to 15 (was 50 and 10 respectively)
- Admin settings/permissions pages highlight all parameters that can be over-ridden within categories, not just those that have been over-ridden
- Trap seriously malformed urls such as http:// with no site
- Tidied up look of Filmstrip extra (arrows)
- Properly cache templates
- Added new extra to use Jeroen Wijering's generalised mp3/swf/flv media player
- Included the new Spanish, Dutch and Chinese translations - thanks
- Provided new French translation as a separate product file - will incorporate in the main zip file next time this needs changing
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

Thank you to everyone who has tested, given suggestions, helped with the translations, etc.
