 |
|
Is it possible to make my archives a drop-down menu? I have so many months listed, and hate to see them take up so much space.
Thanks. |

Yours looks great, and a lot more options too! How much modifying of the b2archives? I'm game to try anything  (with a saved copy of course just in case..LOL)
Thanks.

Put this javascript code in the page where you want to use the dropdown
| Code: |
<script lanaguage="Javascript">
function jumpblogsarchive(form){
var selected=form.blogarchive.selectedIndex
if(form.blogarchive.options[selected].value=="None"){}
else{
parent.location.href=(form.blogarchive.options[selected].value);
}
}
</script>
|
Put this html also in the page where u want to have the dropdown menu
| Code: |
<form method="POST">
<select name="blogarchive" size="1" onchange="jumpblogsarchive(this.form)">
<option value="None">Archives</option>
<option value="None"></option>
<? include "b2archives.php"; ?>
</select>
</form>

There is already a function dropdown_cats() documented in the b2 readme.
you use it like this:
| Code: | | <form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>" method="get"><?php dropdown_cats(1) ?> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go" /></form> |
It doesn't use javascript, but then there is an argument that says triggering an action when a user makes a selection is a bad thing

I tried that earlier but never could get it to function right on mine. I've put mine back the way it was with the () where the post numbers should be.. and look into it a little more. I can live with it, even though I know there is probably some little something that needs tweaking.
Thanks again for pointing to that hack earlier.
