I am trying to put a drop down menu in the header for the various categories. I have figured out how to used the existing code for dropdown menu for profile and admin,

<a href="{$my_pligg_base}/admin_categories.php">{#PLIGG_Visual_Header_AdminP anel_2#}</a>

my question is to how do i address the categories as defined in the system so that I do not have to hard code the address and name but use system definitions as used in the above code.

Thanks for you help on this..All help to a learning newbie would be appreciated.

{section name=nr loop=$categorylist}
{$cat_url}{$categorylist[nr].category_safe_name}
{$categorylist[nr].category_name}
{*({$categorylist[nr].count})*}
{/section}

... will loop through the existing categories and display the url and the name of the category.

WOW, you really must know your code, I tried it and it worked perfectly. Thanks.

now a further detail, is there a way for code it so that it picks up the colors of the categories (in Mollio-Beat) and place it as a background color on each specific choice?

Thanks in advance.

Nice! Would it be possible to have a dropdown box for tags as well with the number of stories with each tag after each tag.
