I wanna make a menu list of all the world countries so I was considering making it in the form of a drop down list menu where you can only select one option? For example, the 3 drop down lists here http://www.wellstone.org/ entitled : Find Program, Find skills and Find Community...

How to do this, is it done by a module - Views may be- and how? I just installed Views but need to practice with it for a bit.

Another thing is there a way to add the countries in one or few shots instead of having to add 200+ items one by one?

Thanks

I just did this. Well it was for languages, but the same idea.

After struggling with the Location module for weeks I got rid of it and went another route.

• Created a View that when one went to project/language/### it would show only projects in the language ###
• Created a taxonomy called "Langauge"
• Used Taxonomy_CSV import to bring in all the languages at once
• Used Taxonomy Menu to create a menu from those terms
• Used Taxonomy Redirect to re-write the Language menu to point to the view version
• Used QuickMenu to display this list as a jump menu

So I used 5 modules to get there, and it took a couple days, but I can testify it works in D6.10. (and I didn't have to add them one by one.)

Thanks for your reply mcfilms, I was wondering however if I would even need "Views" and " Taxonomy redirect"??! I

mean I can just use "Taxonomy_CSV" to import the countries, then the "taxonomy Menu" to create menu from these items and lastly the "QuickMenu" mod to make it in the form of a jump menu.

Why would one need the other two? Is it to be able to link to the proper page in one step, rather than having to enter manually the URL for each menu item??
