I posted this over on vbadvanced, thought I might get a response here too.
What I want to do is to create a discography/lyrics section for a band. I'm thinking I can create a thread for each album and song lyric. For the albums there's only 13 so I think I can just make an album forum and use the news module for the albums page. However, there are 100+ songs so I need to do something different for that.
Here's my idea. Add a page that will contain the song lyrics. On the albums page there will be a song list for each album, and the song titles will be links to the song lyrics. Because I don't want to create a new page for every single song, I want it so the link contains a variable that will pull that song's lyrics from the thread that contains them. So, the link would be something like index.php?page=song&lyrics=1234 where 1234 is the thread id.
I don't know how I would go about coding the song page so it would use the variable to pull the correct song lyrics. Any ideas?
