Anyone know of a dropdown selection addon with page links please?
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Not sure what the proper name, so have attached an image to save confusion, but I'm looking for an add-on that will work like the attached dropdown select option, but will link to "specifically" selected pages only on my website.
Does anyone know of a dropdown like this in the marketplace, which will allow me to add page links please?
I have looked but can't find anything, but possibly not finding it because not sure of the proper title for what I'm looking for.
Thanks for any assistance in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the idea, it sounds ideal, but it also sounds a bit beyond me, which is why I was looking for an add-on if you know of one please?
I'm just a designer and not a hand-coder. I can do very simple editing in Dreamweaver, when given the code and told where to put it - but that's as far as my abilities go I'm afraid.

Hi again,
I probably can help but I need more information.
First I need you to tell me if the page list block allows you to show the pages you want to show or if what you need is totally random and the page list add-on doesn't allow that kind of filtering.

Hi, thank you, that's very kind of you to offer to help, it's much appreciated.
Yes the page list DOES allow me to see the pages I want and also allow filtering, please see attached screenshots.
Thanks again

ok so 2 more questions and I should be good to go:
1- do you have a template already applied to the block? IF yes then send it to me.
2- Each link in your screenshots has a title (dates) and a description. How do you want to put that in a list? Should it be "dates - description? Or solething else?

1. Yes the theme template is applied already tohttp://devonlodge.getthebigidea.co.uk/contact-us/test-page... and is Swosh which is in the marketplace - so not sure how I can send you this?????
2. Ideally, I want "just want the dates" only, but the description is being generated from the page description which I have now deleted. So just the "Page Name" dates please.
Thanks again

Actually I just had a look at your site and now I am a bit confused.
The first screenshot you sent showed the select that's at the top of the form in the center.
The 3 other screenshots show the page list block being used to get the list at the right.
What are you trying to do exactly? Turn the page list at the right in a select that can load pages or make the select in the middle open pages?

Hi, sorry for the confusion. As I said, I wasn't sure of the correct title for what I was trying to create, so the first initial screenshot was just there to illustrate what I was after.
I am trying to put the dates which are currently in the right sidebar "Page List" into the dropdown selection, with a question above it which will read something like, "I want a holiday in:" followed by the choice of seasonal and clickable linked date options in a dropdown (as illustrated in the the 1st screenshot).

Was that enough info?
yes that should do.
Give me 24 hours.

This is very good of you, thank you.
Hello,
Here is a template to apply to your page list block (just the block not the whole page)
The archive I attached to this message contains a file inside 2 folders:
page_list/templates/select_list.php
You have to put it as it is in your root blocks folder so that you have:
ROOT/blocks/page_list/templates/select_list.php
Then you go to your page in edit mode, click on your page list block, select templates and from there select the template "Select List"
Now your page list is a select list.
I added a title above it in an H2 tag. TO modify it, simply open the file I sent you, look for the text and modify it and/or modify the h2 tag.

Wow, thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.
Perhaps you should make this into an marketplace add-on, I'm sure it would be really useful to many others as well.

That's worked a treat, thanks again.
You're very welcome.
I think maybe as an add-on it would require some more options and possibilities :)

You could do it by using the page list block with proper filters to get only the pages you want. then you create a template that populate a select field options with your links. Finally you add 2 lines of javascript to take you to the page every time the select input changes.
