Hi, is there a way to list 20 newest forum topics with dropdown-menu from to choose the forum area to show those 20?

Hi Pete,

I’m fairly certain you should be able to use the Displaying Recent Forum Topics code shown here in the documentation along with some code to make a select menu which goes to the correct place once chosen. Something like the Category Dropdown Menu.

Untested but pretty sure something like this should work for you :

<form name="topicsmenu" action="">
 <select name="selcat">
  <option value="">--Select Forum Topic--</option>
  {exp:forum:topic_titles orderby="post_date" sort="desc" limit="10"}
  <option value="{thread_path='forums/viewthread'}">{title}</option>
  {/exp:forum:topic_titles}
 </select>
</form>

Best wishes,

Mark

Thanks Mark, i need to test and try. I already have the “top 10” (with recent_posts) but it shows the top from all board and therefore it would be more than good to let user choose what he/she wants to look at.

Trying to put this to my Friends index-page so that users that are using that lovely Solspace add-on could enjoy even more of using it 😊

Hi Pete,

I am going to move this to the Community Help forum for you as you might get some more input and it will keep the thread open for you while you test Mark’s suggestion
