when you upload (example) an mp3 that it post a new thread with the LINK itself to the mp3 and that i would be able to embed it so if someone just want to view ONLY the thread without going to the download section itself just to listen example

i'm not sure if you get what i mean?

I think I understand.

Depending on what you want to do, this either requires a simple code edit or is quite difficult

If you *always* want to trigger a download/open a remote url, then edit includes/local_links_forumsinterface.php and find the line

	$gotolink = ldm_make_filename($vbulletin->options['bburl'], LINKS_SCRIPT.'.php?linkid='.$linkid.'&catid='.$linkcatid);

Change it to:

	$gotolink = ldm_make_filename($vbulletin->options['bburl'], LINKS_SCRIPT.'.php?action=jump&linkid='.$linkid.'&catid='.$linkcatid);

If you *always* want to open the file in the LDM jukebox, then change that line to
[code]
Change it to:

	$gotolink = ldm_make_filename($vbulletin->options['bburl'], LINKS_SCRIPT.'.php?action=play&linkid='.$linkid.'&catid='.$linkcatid);

If you want the code to be smart about the file type (i.e. play media files, download others), that would require more extensive changes in that file.

Note that these edits will not change any announcements that have already been created in your forums.
