For any Kazaa Lite K++ users, here is my customized start page K-StartPage (thinking of a better name ).
Install it and the pages display under "web" every time you start kazaa. It has built in
-Google
-CDDB
-FreeCDDB
-iMDB
-VerifiedDownloads
-Dictionary
-Phonebook
-Mapquest
-Instant Messaging (AIM, ICQ and Yahoo)
-Reads kazaa settings from registry
-File browser
-Uses KLRun for links directly to: Shared Folder, Sig2Dat, AVIPreview, KazuperNodes, pTrack, KaShutdown, etc, etc.
-CNet News Sidebar

Someone at the k-lite board made something similar and I gave making my own a shot. Anyone who is interested please post bugs, feature requests, any more searches/settings you would like to see included....
Doesn't currently have a website but download at:

Has a simple install/uninstall if you just want to look at it and get rid of it. Sorry about zipping just the 1 file, but my host won't allow EXEs. I have free hosting lined up with someone after I create a webpage for this.

Added a lyrics search.

No K-Lite users out there that want to try it?

sounds great! lyrics search? wow

but problem is i installed it and it would not start with kazaalite. i tried fixing it manually, but i don't seem to have the 'more options' selection that would help me change the start page, as u mentioned in the info file. i guess i need the latest version for this?? i am just not comfortable updating the p2p software.
what do you recommend from your own experience? i am just paranoid about any kinda 'spyware' that might be included in the latest versions.
by the way i have K++ version 2.0.2

cheers for your work though, i checked out the html files, looking good! hoping i can get it working!

[brendandonhu]

Ought to work with 2.02.
Maybe the installer has a problem.
Did you install it to the default directory of C:\Program Files\Kazaa Lite\Web? If not, the installer wont set the correct reg key for its location. To tell K++ where the file is, you can use this registry key:
HKCU\Software\K++\KazaaStartPage

If we figure out what the problem is I will work on it.

[brendandonhu]

I fixed a problem in the installer that may stop it from starting with kazaa lite.
I did this on K++ 2.03 but I thought that still had KLExtensions, maybe the option is in a different place, or maybe the registry entry is different.
I would like to keep K-StartPage compliant with the latest version, but if you don't want to update I would be glad to downgrade mine and figger it out for ya

EDIT
<hr>
I left out a < /form > tag in it, which was why phonebook/mapquest wouldnt work. Fixed now.

ok my bad, before i was installing it in C drive, but my kazaalite it actually installed in D(partitioned) drive. now i put in in the correct folder D:\KaZaA Lite\web, but still it will not start up.
about that reg key that u mentioned i can see it in the K++ folder. but next to that folder is a kazaa folder which has the kazaalite folder in it. does the key need to be in there(if so which folder within it? i don't see a web folder in it.)

i know i might not be making a lot of sense, but anyway i see your files in my d:/kazaalite/web folder but they are just not linked. if u could shed some light on how i should go about connecting your files so that they start up with kazaalite, that'd be great

also do you recommend i should upgrade regardless of all this?

thanks

[brendandonhu]

It only needs to be in the key in K++ in the registry (AFAIK).
For you, the contents of that key should be
File:\\\D:/Kazaa Lite/web/main.html

[codexaenir]

No offense.. really this is just personal preference but I don;'t like...

I dont like the colors.. lol

[bhav]

File:\\\D:/Kazaa Lite/web/main.html
File:///D:\Kazaa Lite\web\main.html

tried both of these keys in K++, still nothing showing up when start kazaalite.

i would like to know if it worked for anybody with K++ version 2.0.2 or lower.

[brendandonhu]

OK, the keys must be diff. for that version. I will downgrade mine and see what happens.

[brendandonhu]

Version 2.02 K++ Edition does not seem to store the start page in the registry, and it doesn't have the "more options" feature that is in the recent versions. I can't find where it stores the URL of the startpage.
So with your version you won't be able to use K-StartPage. But v. 2.1 is out now and it has lots of new stuff so you may want to update anyway.

What colors would be better?

I just added a feature that displays your IP:PORT and Supernode information right on the navigation menu so you dont have to click a link to get it.

[brendandonhu]

OK, Supernode Info is displayed automatically now. See this thread for details.

The features are great, I may do something similar (building off of yours) and I'll post it here if I ever get around to it. I've already done a page similar to this to be used as my home page. I may just do a bit of a hybrid of the two.

[brendandonhu]

Ok, someone at the k-lite forum is doing the same thing.
