Is it possible to have the cats on all pages, to save people having to click on 'Top' or Browse to see other sections?

Hrm, can't think of a good place to put it, but maybe
this will work for you.. Commonly called a jump menu,
or jump box.

This requires some javascript be added ...
You can find code snippets here,
which I believe I have used before

The javascript snippet would need to be added to the "directory" file. (remember "directory" is a plain text PHP script, just lacking the .php file extension)

Add the javascript snippet near line #106, just above the closing HEAD tag.


Then, near trhe bottom of /include/line.cat.php , locate the line

Code:

$htmlsrc .= "</td></tr></table>";

First I changed the surrounding double quotes to single quotes, just to make things a bit easier, then added another TD pair to contain the form . . . .

Code:

$htmlsrc .= '</td> <td> PASTE FORM SNIPPET HERE, after correcting the URLs of course </td> </tr></table>';

Since line.cat.php is only included when viewing a category page, the jump menu wont appear on the main page, or the whats new/cool etc pages.

um, will have a think about it... may add something above the script under the main banner we have added.. just don't want it to feel like our forum... but will let you know what we do
thanks

There is also the related categories feature, I suppose you could potentially go though each of your categories and make them related to all the others, not what it was designed for, but hey it might just work for you.

yeah I did look at that, but like you said - not what it was designed for...
