    Hi,
    I have been working on a rather simple download pulldown menu that gets it’s data via the wpdb.

    I have gotten pretty far but I think I have some errors because I get nothing returned.

    Here is the code:

    <?php
global $wpdb;
$today = "CURDATE()";
$daterange = "DATE_SUB($today, INTERVAL 1 MONTH)";
$row_getbulletin = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT title, filename FROM wp_download_monitor_files WHERE postDate > $daterange ORDER BY postDate DESC", ARRAY_A);
echo  '<form id="page-changer" action="" method="post">
    <select name="archive">
      <option value="">read the bulletin</option>';
foreach ($list_bulletins as $row_getbulletin)
     {
		echo  '<option value="$list_bulletins->filename">$list_bulletins->title</option>';
}
echo  '</select>
	<input type="submit" value="Go" id="submit" />
</form>';
$show_errors;
//$wpdb->flush(); 

?> <p></p>

    Any help would be appreciated
    thanks in advance.

    well I figured it out – I was trying to reinvent the wheel – I ended up using the shortcode from the wp download manger plug-in. DAH!

    here’s the code if your interested ->

    <?php
$dl = get_downloads('limit=5&orderby=date&order=desc');

if (!empty($dl)) {
    echo '<form id="page-changer" action="" method="post">
    <select name="archive">
      <option value="">read the bulletin</option>';
    foreach($dl as $d) {
        $date = date("jS M Y", strtotime($d->date));
        echo '<option value="'.$d->url.'">'.$d->title.'</option>';
    }
    echo '</select>
	<input type="submit" value="Go" id="submit" />
</form>';
}?>
