Dagon Design released a cool plugin for Wordpress. Called Drop Down Post List, the plugin allows you to display drop-down lists with the posts in a specified category.

You can use this plugin by entering the trigger text in a post or page, or by adding the function call directly to your theme files. You can display as many drop-down boxes as you like, and you have a choice between a standard select box (with button), or a ‘jump menu’ (as the visitor clicks on a post, they will immediately be taken to that page without having to click a button).

You can download the plugin HERE. Just save the .txt document.

The installation is very simple, all you have to do is download the .txt file, rename it to .php, upload it and activate it from the Plugin page in the dashboard. Then you go to DDPostList options page and configure the plugin.

Here are the options available:

Form Type - You can choose to have the plugin generate a ‘jump menu’, or a traditional list with a submit button

Button Text - If using a traditional list, this is the button text

Sorting Method - You can choose to sort by post date (ascending or descending), or post title

Post Limit - This allows you to define a limit for the number of posts in the list (0 for no limit)

Add Before Form - Code added here will be displayed before the generated form

Add After Form - Code added here will be displayed after the generated form

Add Before List - Code added here will be displayed before the list

Add After List - Code added here will be displayed after the list
