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.

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

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.
