Adding Suggest Link on Root

[netjobs]

Hello,

I am placing some links manually in the admin area and having more than 100 categories and everytime I have to go to that particular category and I have to add the link, this makes me taking more time to search the category and I have lots of links to be added manually... My question is why cant the categories will be a drop down menu..? so that I can select the category easily and adds the link fast... and also I like to add the Suggest Link in the Home page (Root) how to do this?

As for the categories drop down, it might be useful if made optional.

On the other hand, if you have thousands of categories, it loads very long and browsing it is also not comfortable in such a case. That's why I'm for it only if made optional.

Here is how to add suggest link to root.

Replace this:

$menu['popular-links']['caption'] = $gDirLang['popular_links'];
$menu['popular-links']['url'] = "{$gDirConfig['base']}{$gDirConfig['dir']}popul ar-links.html";

with this:


$menu['popular-links']['caption'] = $gDirLang['popular_links'];
$menu['popular-links']['url'] = "{$gDirConfig['base']}{$gDirConfig['dir']}popul ar-links.html";
$menu['suggest-category']['caption'] = $gDirLang['suggest_category'];
$menu['suggest-category']['url'] = "{$gDirConfig['base']}{$gDirConfig['dir']}sugge st-category.php?id={$aCategory}";

thanks, it works nicely, but about drop down menu ??

[echopulse]

I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

please just clarify this for me.. do you want to have a full list of categories in your dropdown list? Or just top-> when you click it the page is reloaded and you can see subcategories. I just think it won't easy to choose from a list of may be 5000 categories. Please advise

[netjobs]

Yes, it would be difficult one to make of 5000 categories as drop down menu, but it can be done for 100 categories more or less, I just required in the admin panel a submit link page with drop down menu for categories and can add the link in appropriate category, so that it will save lot of time to add the links manually... as I hope it is possible for around 100 categories and also you can put this an option because if anybody wants really 5000 categories or so better the existing is ok for them... is it possible?

You can see an example for drop down menu for categories in one my sites here... http://www.worldwidenetjobs.com/link-new/directory/add.html I require this kind of stuff in the admin panel... I hope you understand well.. thank you...
