Full Version: Archive Popup Menu
Thanks Jeremy, I'll have to keep this in mind for when my archive list gets too long!
I didn't see this tip anywhere else, so sorry if I'm duplicating information!
I didn't like having a big long list of archive links on my main page but still wanted to access them all from the main page so I turned to JavaScript and found a nice solution: a popup menu of archives.
Try this in your Main Index template:

<div class="side">
<form name="menu">
<select name="featuremenu" size="1" onChange="if(options[selectedIndex].value) window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option selected>select monthly archive</option>

<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<option value="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></option>

I was looking for the same solution for a pop-up for monthly archives, so thanks for posting.
Does anyone have the code handy for creating a pop-up to view stories by category?
Also, I have two "classes of categories" I'd like to split up into two separate menus -- one for category by publisher name, and another for article type. Is there a way to have movable type limit the display of certain 'named' categories so I can split them up between the two popup menus?
example...
Popup #1 by publisher
...publisher A
...publisher B
...publisher C
Popup #2 by news type
...newstype 1
...newstype 2
...newstype 3
Please note that all of the above are categories, but just different 'classes' of a category. Hope someone can help.
