I don't think so because I have tried to do that myself. You might ask at Sage's board. . . http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=1819 or at sdn's board which I don't have a link handy for. |

yes, there is :) (hopefully I'm understanding you correctly)
the forum list is set according to a numeric sequence that the administrator sets in Forum Admin.
please do not make the same mistake as I once did; initially I adjusted the order of my forums PER CATEGORY then repeated that process for each seperate category on my board. (This Is Completely Improper)
try adjusting all of the individual forums in the numerical order across the ENTIRE board (not per category)
then your forum jump shall reflect the actual layout of your board
:cool:

I just did that today. I took out the exco code, and replaced it with my own. I haven't finished adding all the links yet, but you can get the jist of it.
code:
<select class="DropDownField" name="qjump" onchange="location.href=(form.qjump.options[form.qjump.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="0">Select a forum</option>
<option value="0"></option>
<option value="0" style="background-color:#404040;">News</option>

So are you saying instead of having food catagory 1-5 then tv catagory 1-5 I should have it food catagory 1-5 and tv catagory 6-10 and so on with each catagory under that going up numerically? |

yes precisely :D you got it!!
(sorry that I did not clarify that part before)
if you do exactly as the bold text states above then your forum jump shall be organized in the same fashion as they are seen on your Excoboard :) |

by the way; Jebra certainly also has a proven method, although it seems more difficult (IMO) but I'd imagine it should still provide the same desired result.
I suppose by using Jebra's idea you could also insert other (non-exco) links if that is allowed or wanted, or perhaps you might even add the "top menu" links to your new forum jump

LOLOL Well ding dang nabbit thats the first thing I have "GOT" in ages LOLOL so let me go see. kinda makes sense. |

O.K. That works fine.....All forums are in exact order of board. Now you know that one thing fixed leads to other question(s) ask.
How would one insert catagory headings....in the proper places in the drop down? Even if they are null. (not useable)

perhaps the method that Jebra mentioned would be better suited for you if categories are needed to be included.
looking closely at Jebra's posting should elp you out in that aspect. (unfournately I do not know of a more complete way to express myself in this answer) -- sorry |

Yep I was looking at Jebra's layout. |
|
|
| Anti Paul |
hopefully Jebra could better provide you with a helpful reply ... I would not ever want to tell you the wrong way to do stuff on your board. |

Here's my finish and completed code. The lines in blue are my categories. I added a color background for easier reading. The options after them are the forums in that category. Basically, you just list everthing in the order you see on the boards. It took me a fair while to get all the links, but it was worth it.
