I had a look at the Page Break button plugin, it loads a joomla component in an iframe, just like most other button plugins I was looking at for ideas.
The problem in my case, is that I need to read the contents of a file, and echo them as clickable links.
So while I can load the required ini file (in a round-about way) inside the modal using an iFrame ($button->link), for my needs this isn't going to be helpful.
But thanks for your suggestion.
For now, I've given up on this because I've actually wasted too much work time on this, and I don't know what I'm doing for the most part, I don't have the knowledge and understanding of the deeper Joomla stuff to get this done myself.
I will leave this post here, in case someone comes across it with an answer, but for now I've given up, until I do some actual work! hahah!
Thanks guys.
