phpBB3 jump box

[Zephlon]

I need a script that will get a list of forums (regardless of permissions) into a jump box so that I don't have to manually update it every time I add forums or reorder them. I have connect.php already made and the variable used for selecting the phpbb_forums table is $forums_result. Exclude the <select> tags, I just need all of the <option> tags and I can take it from there.

Thank you.

Shouldn't there already be a jumpbox with phpbb that does this?

[Zephlon]

Yes, but I need one for Z-Browser.

Find the code in the forum software that does this. Should be pretty easy to find. :-D

[Zephlon]

I did that already. It calls a function that I can't find.

[Zephlon]

Could you at least tell me what page I can find it in?

Have you tried some kind of MySQL Table reader? There might be a code that reads the tables and puts text into the drop down box. PHPBB3 actually has that built in somewhere - dig through the code! Also don't search for phpbb3 actually search for "MySQL Table read" or something. That increases your chances. Besides it uses MySQL like most forums so you shouldn't have too much trouble adapting the code to work

I would like to help but I can't since MySQL isn't my area of expert knowledge!

In the phpBB code, I found a function that makes the jumpbox, but I can't find the file that the function is declared.

[Matt]

I think it's either the normal function file, or the displayfunction file (or something like that)

[Zephlon]

I found it! I will use it later.
