hi everyone
im new to php and phpnuke but am getting my hands dirty Very Happy

id like to get this code working

Code:

/******* Begin Forums Select Box ********/


."<form action=\"modules.php?\"


\"method=\"post\"> <font size=\"2\"><b>".translate("Forums")." </b>\n";


    $toplist = mysql_query("select forum_id, forum_name from $prefix"._bbforums." order by forum_name");


    echo "<select name=\"forum\"onChange='submit()'>\n"


   ."<option value=\"\">".translate("All Forums")."</option>\n";


    while(list($forum_id, $forums) = mysql_fetch_row($toplist)) {


    if ($forum_id==$forum) { $sel = "selected "; }


   echo "<option $sel value=\"$forum_id\">$forums</option>\n";


   $sel = "";


    }


    echo "</select>\n"


/******* End Topic Select Box ********/


."</td></form>\n"

i want to make it so it jumps to the correct forum when clicked
ive also posted this Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!
with a slightly different but the same question Smile

what ive got working so far can be found at Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!
what would be even better for this script would be using cat_id instead of forum_id but i couldnt figure out how to display the cat names because i couldnt find cat_name in any of the mysql querys
well thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give

Mike, did you ever get an answer to this? I was just getting back into town when you posted this and I never recall seeing it.
