Tuesday 04 November 2008 2:41:06 am

I am a newbie to eZ Publish. I wanted to create a drop down menu which consist of a list with external links.
Details - I want to create a drop down menu with the heading - "Categories".
And the drop down consist of a list such as books, shoes, clothings etc. Now, on selecting any one from the dropdown, the user is redirected to the embedded link.

Kindly help.

Thanks .

To be more appropriate, I have a Product class- books.
Now I want to add different stores from where the books can be made available, I want to list these stores in a drop down menu, wherein all the items listed in the menu are links.

More specifically, I want to add the "Also Available from" functionality that is similar to the one on http://www.packtpub.com/joomla-version-1-5/book.

I tried adding the Selection attribute to the product class, but am not able to implement the dropdown functionality on the page.

Then, I added the following code in .../full/product.tpl-

<h3>Also Available From</h3> 
<form method="post" action= " " >
<select name="url">
<option value="http://www.alfresco.com">alfresco</option>
<option value="http://www.lob.de/">lehmans</option>
<option value="http://www.bookware.com.au/cgi-bin/bookware">bookware</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go!" />
</form>

The above code got me the dropdown menu, but without the redirecting links.
How to activate the links?

Kindly help me with the code to implement it.

Thanks in advance!
