Dropdown list for categories

[aacircle]

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a way to have the categories displayed as a dropdown list? I don't like the idea of having heaps of category links displayed one after the other taking up too much room.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Yes, you could build your own plugin by copying the "serendipity_plugin_categories" plugin frmo the include/plugins_internal.inc.php file to it's own. Put the whole class inside a file like plugins/serendipity_plugin_mycategories/serendipity_plugin_mycategories and then rename the plugin class name to "serendipity_plugin_mycategories".

Then you can adapt the HTML output to put everything inside a dropdown. You will then need javascript to go to the appropriate URL for each category.

Best regards,
Garvin
