So I needed to have a select_multiple type to have a dynamic item list instead of the hardcoded list... ... manly I needed it from the news mod... so

I made this process smarty...
this is how it works... Let say I wanted to store your item list in one place like a global content block... ( I wanted to pull it from news).. so this is what I have...
{content
block="test"
style="width:350px;font: 700 14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #333; float:left;'
type="dropdown"
oneline="true"
items=":::global_content name=test:::"
smartyOn="true"
}
so instead if the normal {global_content name=test} {} become ::: ::: so that would be :::global_content name=test:::
So id I had in the GCB named test
color of money,sports,road and rides,oasis,travel,sun blog,seniors,style,politics,sun report,travel,stateside,week in review,health,diaspora,entertainment,inside philly,freedom quest,education,food and beverage,go with the flo
now I have
{content
block="test"
style="width:350px;font: 700 14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #333; float:left;'
type="dropdown"
oneline="true"
items=":::global_content name=test:::"
smartyOn="true"
}
in stead of
{content
block="test"
style="width:350px;font: 700 14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #333; float:left;'
type="dropdown"
oneline="true"
items="color of money,sports,road and rides,oasis,travel,sun blog,seniors,style,politics,sun report,travel,stateside,week in review,health,diaspora,entertainment,inside philly,freedom quest,education,food and beverage,go with the flo"
}
Which now opens me up to do tons of block for different things… and then can all share the one main item list…
