Cool! Glad it worked out for you. I’m curious what version of NextGEN you are using because I’m surprised that it had the float:left in there already.

Hey I got a guy to write some code to make two drop down menus. One is static and the other is populated by all the tags minus the ones coded in the static menu. You can see it here

sorry about the violation. I didn’t think of that. I can be reached by email at jonquinn[AT]juno.com.

Thanks for the mailing list suggestion.

Hi. I tried the code but it just messed up my template. Do you have a working demo of this that I could look at? This is supposed to be the same as the dropdown category menu only with tags right?

That would be so cool.

This is the code I am trying to modify at the moment

<script lang=’javascript’><!–
j = ‘,8’;
var dropdown = document.getElementById(“cat”);
function onCatChange() {
if ( dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value > 0 ) {
location.href = “<?php echo get_option(‘home’);
?>/?cat=”+dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value+j;
}
}
dropdown.onchange = onCatChange;
–></script>

The variable j is what I am trying to incorporate the =>array(1,3)from the support post into. Now I know this is javascript but php is being used inside of it. So how do I make the code work to where the value+j works the same as the array (1,3)?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. What I gather from the page you linked to is that this is a static thing for the homepage. How would I implement this in the widgets.php category code?

I have looked through the function wp_widget_categories and cannot figure out where I would place the

query_posts(array(‘category__and’=>array(1,3),’showposts’=>2,’orderby’=>title,’order’=>DESC));

Thanks!

Hello. I was wondering if you could help me with something similar. I would like to make the drop down category widget (wp 2.3.3) to show only posts in two distinct categories. I want to set one and allow the user to choose the other. Do you have any idea how I can do this?

I looked at the code in widgets.php and tried to do something similar to what you had cat=3,4 or something like that but it didn’t work.

Thanks.

Shouldn’t we be able to copy the exclude code from the page widget and add it to the category widget?

I have been working on it but have not succeeded yet.

From another angle, would it be possible to have one drop down menu qualify a second menu. Eg.
Drop down 1. “Choose your county”
-ALL
-Harris
-Fulton
Drop down 2. “Choose your product”
