Thanks for the info Robert, however our presenters primarily select their own music by putting together a show in RDLogEdit, so I need to be able to drop an "Advert Block" into this view.
I've looked at Carts and that doesn't seem to do the trick, I've also just tried a log chain to load a separate event as you mention which contains the adverts. However this then clears the active Log and replaces it with just the adverts, which is problematic. Are there any other ways of chaining in a set of linked carts like this for advert blocks?
