This one was weird, but I think I know the reason, although I can't duplicate your problem exactly.

On your site, showing "what's new" produces a list in which the first entry - Mithan's Burning Crusade Starter Guide and Starter FAQ - uses a QUOTE bbcode. This expands into some html which LDM "mistreats". As a result, the page that is thrown at the user's browser contains illegal html, which will probably break some browsers.

The attached update of local_links_search.php should fix the problem. Upload it into your main forums directory. Please let me know if it works.

I'll give that a try when I get home tonight (no FTP from my office :(). However, the problem existed before I added that link--not sure if that info makes any difference. Will update you after I upload that file. I just don't understand why changing from the default style affects the display of "What's New".

If this isn't the solution, then I'm not sure I'm understanding your problem - I can't reproduce the symptoms you described, so you'll need to spell out what you're doing to trigger the problem.

What would you think about an add-on that helped people find other music they might like?

Whoop! .. I thought you'd forgotten ;) .. heh .. glad i could give you something to think about :)

I'm looking forward to the next release :D

Would it be possible to get a couple of links to some working sites with this mod? The screen shots aren't doing it for me. Thanks!

As far as I can tell, this is a problem with dear old Internet Explorer. The scrolling problem does not occur with either Firefox or Opera. I wondered if this was possibly due to IE using the <object> tags and the others using the <embed> tags for Flash, but this seems not to make any difference - as soon as you load up 20+ flash tags on the same page, IE slows to a crawl.




Yes, this is down to the coding of the wimpy button.

Have you tried using the other wimpy addin I've supplied, which uses the regular wimpy player inside the jukebox? This would solve both your problems at the same time - there would only be one flash object at a time, and any request to play a new trac would automatically stop the earlier one.


many thanks for the reply andrew and for looking into this for us. i have tried the wimpy jukebox already but i was hitting problems with that too. il explain these problems to you as it may be something you will be able to help me with as its more to do with ldm rather than wimpy

basically i have my vbadvanced set so that it shows my left vbadvanced column to the left of the ldm. i have done this by adding this to the top of local_links.php as instructed by vbadvanced

<?php
define('VBA_PORTAL', true);
define('VBA_PAGE', 'tunearchive');

and then i added the page in vbadvanced named tunearchive and specified it to show the left navigation column - this is something i need to have on my forum or i can see people getting awfulley confused while navigating the link directory

and so this brings with it its own problem. when you click a link to play it in the jukebox it opens another window. when it opens this new window it also adds the navigation panel and so opens pretty much a full size screen. ive changed it over now so you can see for yourself what its doing.

http://www.oldskoolanthemz.com/forum...s.php?catid=13

if i could get it going so that it opened another small window with the player in it then that would be great.

the other problem with this way of having the links is that i would like the jukebox to open up when the mp3 is clicked on from the list of mp3's in the archive. the way the ldm system currently works in this state is that you click the link then go to another page and click the link again to open in the jukebox. i would rather it have a play button (like the wimpy button system) from the main list of mp3's in that category that would then open the jukebox and play the file.

i hope this makes sense as its hard to explain lol. many thanks once again andrew for your time its greatly appreciated :)

Here is the problem I'm seeing (your file didn't help, unfortunately):
Using the Default Style, clicking &quot;What's New&quot; properly opens the dropdown list of 5 latest items.
Using any other style (for instance, Black and Gray), clicking &quot;What's New&quot; does not open the dropdown.
I don't know enough about php to know whether the problem is actually in LDM, or is a CSS issue, or what.

Makes sense (mostly :tired: ) - probably the solution is to have some sort of javascripted solution within the same page - wimpy can certainly handle this - let's think about it.

I'm really getting lost. Just to be clear - are we talking about this sequence:

http://oops-hq.us/vbforums/local_links.php

-> select menu item Show -> reveals drop down - select What's New

This works fine for me whatever styles I select. But you've got your styling instructions set up in LDM so that any *show* or *search* command is going to go back to the *Default Style* style
