That's great Calguy. I'm certain it IS simple but after 5 days I'm not finding my way here. Thanks for the demo.

I've tried around a dozen variations of this: <!-- Start News Display Template--> <FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/redirect.pl" METHOD=POST onSubmit="return dropdown(this.gourl)"> <SELECT NAME="gourl"> <OPTION VALUE="">Choose...</OPTION> {if $pagecount > 1}  <p> {if $...

If "I'm quite capable of constructing a drop down menu" is true then go to content > news and summary template tab hit create new and make one there and call it in a page.... All you have to do is figure out what part of the news template you want to use... There's really no need to respo...

Here's an example - on http://www.kasterborous.com/news.asp there's a drop down menu on the bottom half of the page which is a list of all previous items. I'm trying to replicate this but the closest I've got is using a global item that draws a list of all previous items, calling this in the page te...

You may want to look into learning drop downs here... http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp This is where I picked up how to do a menu template to be a drop sown to pick selections... http://www.medtechglobal.com/&nbsp; upper right corner is a menu template drop sown to pick the section of the p...

Hi I need to build a drop down menu that includes all news items, and is configurable to show news items based on category. It needs to be a form-style drop down rather than a css drop down. I've had a good browse and found a couple of form menus for pages, but don't seem to be able to adjust these ...

Hi I'm using menu manager module, and I'm wondering if there is any way of reversing the order of the menu items? I'm imaging there's some sort of "sortby" parameter as there is in news, but I can't find anuthing in help or the forum and I'm reluctant to alter the template without guidance...

hi I'm having some problem with the News module, and the successful display of news items. Basically, you can see here: http://www.thegadgetmonkey.co.uk/index.php/phones For some reason the news items are displaying on top of themselves, and I can't work out why. I'm using this statement in the page...

Hi

I foolishly change my site url without thinking through the consequences...

If I take a dump of my db and change all instances of the url to match the new one, will this be enough to repair the problem?

(embarrassed) Thanks

Hi Ronny  - caught me as I was about to post the jpegs then!

I'll try that and let you know, thanks

Hi Ronny No, it's simply a list in the summary area of the news mod (suddenly occurs to me I should have mentioned that bit already) I'm using this in the css: .NewsSummarySummary li {         margin: -6px 0 0 8px;         line-height: 170%; } .NewsSummarySummary ul {         list-style: none;      ...

Hi on www.gadgetmonkey.net, I have an unordered list of 4 elements, all correctly tied up in tags.  However while it is perfectly viewable in Firefox, in IE 7, the 1st element in the list is completely missing, and I cannot work out where it is. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem? Thanks f...

Cheers mark I'll give that a try

I think it would have helped if you had looked at the examples I gave earlier, but no matter, here is another: www.kasterborous.com This website has a list of links on the right-hand side that consist of preview images and a few lines of text from the main article.  It is this same effect which I wi...
