    Solved How to make Dropdown menus

    Technical Details


    Forum version : #phpBB3
    Position : Administrator
    Concerned browser(s) : Google Chrome
    Who the problem concerns : All members
    When the problem appeared : Never had this
    Forum link : http://pinkpalace.forumotion.com/

    Description of problem

    I would like to know how to put a drop down menu in 2 places. 1 in the row of links under header where Profile, Calendar, etc are. I would also like to put a drop down menu in a widget. The content of these dropdown menus would be names of forum that link to that forum. Example. If I had a Helps forum in the Welcome Category, I'd like a shortcut in the dropdown menu to select that takes members to the Helps forum.

    Where do I put the code in order for the drop down list to be viewed and to add links?
    Can this be put in a widget?  I tried and nothing came up.
    I'm not sure what I'm doing.
    Than you for your help.

    Yes, it can be added to a widget.
    Code:
    <option value="">TITLE OF DROP-DOWN LIST HERE</option
    <option value="LINK HERE">SELECTION TITLE HERE</option>
    <option value="LINK HERE">SELECTION TITLE HERE</option>
    The first line is for the title of the drop=down menu.
    The lines below it is where you added your links.

    You do not need the numbers to the left.

    It is where you added the coding?  It is in the coding.  You copied and pasted the numbers which are not exactly part of the coding.
