I'm not altogether sure about changing the hook location again, since the trade-off may be to have it display in Photoplog, but not on the rest of the pages as it does at present??

Admitedly placing your code on the navbar is the ideal option, since this displays throughout the site, it's simply that the "full" display gives members more tuning options.

I have figured how to get it displayed in the sidebar though, and with a little juggling could probably get it to display in various other locations.

Thanks again for your helpful reply - I'll have a play around with the instructions and code you've added, and see if I can find a happy compromise. In the meantime I look forward to your next version, I'm sure it will prove extremely popular with ShoutCast users.

In either way, the code is flexible. Just remember if you change the hook location to global_start then it could start to slow the web server up hence why using parse_templates does the exact thing for you on PhotoPlog & VbA

Good to see all is working and hopefully in the next version, it will be flexible enough for you to use in all areas of the forum / website without difficulty.
