Custom layout based on dropdown list

[Alex V.]

Ok... I'm a real beginner. That'd be wonderful if you could help me.

I would like to have a dropdown list with categories.

And I'd like to have a different layout for each category.

So if the user picks category1 in the dropdown list, he will get layout1.

Does that make sense at all ?

Thanks for yor help !

Hi Alex

...he will *GO* to layout1 !

To go to another layout by choose of a value list,

you need a script to fire and a plugin that fires the script !

Search for plugin and you'll find EventScript or ZippScript ! :

.... or to do it without the use of any plugins... just let the user choose a category from a list and then push a button right next to it... the button would execute a script something akin to...

If

List = "cat1"

Goto Layout 1

Else If

List = "cat2"

Goto Layout 2

Else If

........ and so on and so forth...

End If

Where List is the field they are choosing the category from

Look if this works for you !

This use the EventScript plugin that you can download here
