Drop-down menu for myadopt.php [SOLVED]

[arlecchina]

I want users to easily be able to navigate from one adoptable to another when managing, viewing stats, getting codes, renaming, freezing, unfreezing and killing adoptables (which are all existing actions in brandon's original myadopt.php file).

So on each of the myadopt.php action pages I would like to have a drop-down menu that lists all of the user's existing adoptables. For example, if the user is on the rename page for their first adoptable (myadopts.php?act=rename&id=1), after they rename adoptable 1, they can then choose adoptable 2 from the drop-down menu allowing them to navigate to the adoptable 2's rename page (myadopts.php?act=rename&id=2).

This is more convenient for the user and reduces the number of steps they need to do in order to manage multiple adoptables.

Well to be quite honest I don't know where to put it in the Rename page, because of the fact that the rename page gets the ID from the previous page, therefore you wouldn't be able to do the whole drop down menu on the rename page without instituting Ajax, because adding a drop down menu would mean you would have to move the person to another page. But you want them to stay on the rename page obviously so they could change each pet.

So im trying to think of what you should do...

I think the easiest thing to do, would be to not incorporate the drop down menu with the actual coding on the rename page, but to have it on the page, so that when you rename one pet the drop down menu will show on the success page. Then your users can choose another pet from the success screen, then just make the "Click Here to Submit" Button, or whatever your going to call it, lead back to the Rename page.

Please tell me you followed that, because it will be a little bit before I can work up an example for you.

Actually I don't want them to stay on the rename page to rename each pet. I understand that each pet has their own rename url (example: myadopts.php?act=rename&id=2). I just want the user to be able to easily navigate from one adoptable rename url to another pet's rename url without having to return to the manage adoptables page (myadopts.php) to choose the pet.

I think adding the drop down menu to the success page would be a good idea. The only problem I am really having is listing the existing adoptables the user owns on the rename page and other myadopts pages including the success page. If we could list them on the success page, I think that would solve my problem.

Please note that I will be away 09/26-10/3 so feel free to postpone working on any of this until I return. I really appreciate all your help. Thank you.

Alright very well, I know how to write, because I've written it several times, I just can't get to my copy right now, in fact I can't get to any of my codes right now, and its really bugging me so lol I will try my hardest to get it.
