  Hi there,
  
  First of all my apologies if this has already been answered but I did check through all the posts that I could find and couldn't find anything that quite answered what I need.
  
  I was wondering if anyone could help with something that I need to get set up on a site.
  
  If you go to http://www.themusicbuilders.com and then click on the 'Songs' link at the top of the page and scroll down to 'If You Ever Go To Switzerland' and click the 'Info' button then this will lead you into a publication about the song. At the very bottom of this publication I would like to have (if possible) a form that will only show if a person is logged in to the system. I would like to be able to populate a field called (for example) - song name and fill it in with the name of the publication so that people can contact us regarding the song and the name of the song will be already filled in so that they don't have to type it in.
  If it is not possible to have the form on the page then I can put a button at the bottom of the page that only shows when the user is logged in (that part I can do! :) This would then link to a form which hopefully the song name could be passed to and achieve the same result as before.
  
  I would prefer to get the form showing up on the same page but not too bothered if the user has to go to another page.
  
  If anyone could help with this in any way at all then I would be exceptionally greatful for any pointers. I'm not the best of coders so fairly simple language would also be greatly appreciated
  
  On another note if you saw when you went into the list of songs there were quite a few of them. I was wondering if anyone could help with one other problem I have. At the moment I am just listing all the entries for a certain publication. There will be quite a few songs being entered in the very near future and I am aware that the page is going to take quite a while to load when there are lots of songs to show.
  To this end I would love to be able to do two things.
  Firstly I would love to be able to get some kind of paging system working so that I can limit the amount of songs shown on a page and then have a -
  
  Page 1 of 3
  Next Page Previous Page
  
  sort of thing at the bottom of the page which shows the next amount of songs. I did try using one of the plugins provided with Pagesetter but could only get this working when you go into the 'FULL' template. The way I would like it to work is when a person first goes to the site and clicks on 'Songs' the page that appears is a 'LIST' template and I would like to apply the paging to that.
  
  Secondly on more of a usage side of Pagesetter does anyone know a way that I can easily put my songs from the one publication into categories so that let's say there are songs about animals, songs about children, songs about cars and so on so I can make a page with all the different types of songs on and then when they click on a song type they are taken to the same list again but this time it only shows the type of songs that I have specified. I do have a 'SONG TYPE' field in each song listing and thought that I might be able to append something to the end of the URL to filter just these into the list that comes back. Also to be a pain, would there be any way of having one song belong to more than one category.
  
  Sorry for such a long and involved post but if anyone can help with any of this then I would be eternally greatful.
  
  Thankyou for taking the time to read this and thankyou for any help that you might be able to impart to me on this matter.
  
  Best wishes,
  
  Mark Bowen
