Is it possible with the request plugin to list only specific tracks?

I think that the best solution for me is to add another field to the songs table which to enable/disable them on the website, in this way the user can filter which tracks will be displayed on the website and which not.
Do you think that this will be a useful addition?

I don't think there's any need to change anything ....

This could easily be achieved by using smart categories/sub categories and track type as other!

For me, I want requests related to rotations which is to say, if I'm running a POP rotation I would want tracks from my Popular music or No 1's sub categories. If I were running a rock show....

I can already do this with php using a look-up list against the Show title (rotation title) which I include in the Now Playing> Web export> but a better option IMHO would be an event that would set a $variable to include the sub-categories I need for that particular show.

Am I making sense?

TQ

I agree with Marius. That would be very useful.

Is there a way to hide more than one subcategory?

Yes, there is:

LINE 85 $srcquery = "AND id_subcat NOT IN(33,35,68)"; //search query holder

LINE 95 $srcquery = "AND (`artist` LIKE '%$srch%' OR `title` LIKE '%$srch%') AND id_subcat NOT IN(33,35,68)"; //Search artist and title

Works for us!

Most definitely!!

We did solve it now by rewriting a few lines in the webscript, but Marius' solution is far more user-friendly.
