I know you have probably answered this 100 times but I cant seem to locate it.

I have this drop menu works great .........

<select name="jumpMenu0" id="jumpMenu0" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)" style="color: #821789; font-family: Garamond; font-size:11pt" size="1">
<option>product type</option>
<?php foreach ($productsRecords as $record): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"> <?php echo $record['product_type'] ?></option>
<?php endforeach ?>
</select>

when you select it i wan it to go to a page like this http://skinsolutionsbymimi.com/productsList.php?product_type=Hair%20Care i am not sure how to code the ="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>">

with the Product Type: <?php echo join(', ', getListLabels('products', 'product_type', $record['product_type'])); ?>

thanks

Hi,

So, if I understand correctly, you are looking to change the value portion of the option tag so it says productlist.php?product_type=Hair%20Care
instead of productlist.php?Derma-Topix-Tar-Shampoo-0.5-2

If that's correct, here is how you can do that:
<option value="<?php
echo "productDetail.php?product_type=".$record['product_type'];
?>">

Let me know if that helps.

Sorry about that.
Try this:
<option value=productList.php?product_type="<?php
echo $record['product_type'];
?>">

CMS Builder comes with a built in search engine. If you were to type in http://skinsolutionsbymimi.com/productsList.php?product_type=Hair%20Care into your browser, the list page would automatically only show products with the product_type=Hair Care (2 items).

Let me know if that works. If you, maybe attach your php file and I can take a look at it for you.

Hi,

Sorry this is taking a bit. I've found a couple of problems. The reason why the menu isn't doing anything when an option is selected is because it is trying to call a javascript function called "MM_JumpMenu()". This function doesn't appear anywhere on the page and I can't find an external link to it. So this function needs to go back first.

After that. I think I've worked out the issues we've been having with how the drop downs are displayed. For treatment type, try this:
<option>treatment type</option>
<?php foreach ($productsRecords as $record): ?>
<option value="productList.php?treatment=<?php echo $records['treatment'] ?>" ><?php echo $record['treatment']; ?></option>
<?php endforeach ?>

For product type, try this:
<option>product type</option>
<?php foreach ($productsRecords as $record): ?>
<option value="productList.php?product_type="<?php echo $record['product_type']; ?>"><?php echo $record['product_type']; ?></option>
<?php endforeach ?>

Give that a try and let me know how it works. The biggest problem is getting the MM_JumpMenu function back, since the drop down menu won't do anything until then.

Thanks.

Ok I put the function on the header page instead of the individual pages http://www.skinsolutionsbymimi.com/index.php - the drop works

but i see another problem each page gets added by product page instead of each category

you can see in the product type - Hair display 2 times one for each product/page so far

I want 1 page for each type of product when they chose that it displays a list of products under that category.

Hi,

I looked at the productsList.php page again, and now I see that the dropdown lists are not being populated at all.
If you could attach the productsList.php file I can take a look at it and maybe able to point you in the right direction.

Let me know.

I have found that the drops are only including what catergories are on each detail page .
