Have I overlooked a setting, somewhere?

My playlists regularly include links to band/artist sites + extra links to video, lyrics, related content etc. How can I include html in my playlist ?

It'd be great if the playlist section took on the 'input type' of the entire node.

(And I really like the handy autocomplete feature.)

humm, would a separate link field be useful? my goal was to allow you to click an artist name and see all the shows they'd been played on, that sort of thing.

That would work. Then it could be wrapped together in a theme or a view?
It would also make it easier for others to provide links.

I see where you're coming from in terms of searching on field contents. The alternative would complicate that.

Still, having one field at the end of the table that would allow for other input types would be good. One column in my playlists can have several links, italics etc.

Would that be possible?

(have since upgraded to the HEAD 5 version)

That'd be great.

I wonder if there's an example of something like this in another module?

If I can help test or something, let me know.

The other module I looked into for this was Table Manager.

Two great features found in this module that might be of use with the playlist in the station module:

1) import csv tables
2) input types option

I've added a simple link field to the playlist track. I'm open to ideas on how to better present it though.

Great!!

1) I think in terms of design and workflow, it'd work best if the links could occupy a row beneath each entry?
A row that's either indented a few pixels or collapsible + indented ?

2) Something else that would be handy would be the new "Save and Edit" that can be found with the new views module.

The problem with putting it below is that you end up screwing up the table's even odd format. I made one change, now the links use the hostname as the link text.

That views feature is hella new, I'd just updated it last week. I don't know how easy it'd be to do as a node, when you're your own form you can do redirect stuff like that easily...

Oh, wait did you mean on the edit form put the link field on it's own line? Or when viewing it?

Yep. In the edit form.

I was thinking in terms of how I handle 'optional' links using two cck text fields through somenodetype.tpl.php. If there's a link in the field2, then the field1 is wrapped w/ field2 html. If not, then field1 is output on its own.

artistlink, songlink, albumlink, albumlink, labellink

An extra open-ended one ('etc' or 'notes' or 'comments') at the end would be a bonus.

Very new. And instantly great, too.
Just pointing it out in case you hadn't yet seen it.
