Node title in dropdown
glennnz - January 1, 2009 - 23:24
Hi
I a trying to create a view where a user can select a node title from a dropdown list. The node titles in the list will be of a particular taxonomy term type.
The view will display information from the node that is selected.
How do I create this dropdown list? I am a complete newbie to Drupal and have no idea at all how to customise anything, so if you post a code answer, please tell me where to put the code snippet and how to use it.
Thanks
Glenn
RE:
Hey there,
Sounds like you can use the views module.
How to start:
add a new view to your page, add a filter (node title)
if you need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask.
Solved this with some PHP

share your coding?
Wondering how you did this without views. Thanks.
<form action="<?php echo
<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post"><select name="select_course_name"> <?php
$title = db_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT title FROM {node} n WHERE type='course'"));
while ($row = db_fetch_array($title)) {
$course_title = $row['title'];
echo "<option value='$course_title'>$course_title</option>";
}
?> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Another module
Heres a module that can create a select list of titles (or an autocomplete of titles) to find the node.
