Hello all. I am still plodding through LinksSQl as a content Management tool. I'm getting ever so much closer. I have a question about adding a pull down list of urls - a "link to forum" pull down menu so that when our editors add a story, they can identify which area of the boards would be a good place to send people when they are done reading the story.
What I've done is this:
I added a column in Database -->links -->Properties
called it Forum
I am confused about the two choices at the bottom of the Add Coulm page:
1) Form Names
(Stored in Database)
Only for checkbox, multi-select or radio forms.
2) Form Values
(Displayed on Form)
Only for checkbox, multi-select or radio forms.
How do I use these two options to create a drop down list of potential URL's that are linked?
----------
At first, I thought I'd add a list to the include_form template of the drop down menu, but then realized that they would not be linked this way, and when I went to add the column, it became clear that i was approching this in the wrong way.
Advice and handholding welcome. :) I'm really trying to figure this out.
