Hello, I was wundering if there was a way to change the topic type select in posting from radio buttons to a drop down menu? I want to have just one nice drop down menu where the user can select a topic type like "global announcement" if they have the permission to do so! I think the code below from my posting.php file is what has to be changed but I don't know how to do it? Can someone please show me how to do this? Also is this the only file that would need to be edited? Thank you.

Code: Select all

//
// Topic type selection
//
$topic_type_toggle = '';
if ( $mode == 'newtopic' || ( $mode == 'editpost' && $post_data['first_post'] ) )
{
        $template->assign_block_vars('switch_type_toggle', array());

        if( $is_auth['auth_sticky'] )
        {
                $topic_type_toggle .= '<input type="radio" name="topictype" value="' . POST_STICKY . '"';
                if ( $post_data['topic_type'] == POST_STICKY || $topic_type == POST_STICKY )
                {
                        $topic_type_toggle .= ' checked="checked"';
                }
                $topic_type_toggle .= ' /> ' . $lang['Post_Sticky'] . '&nbsp;&nbsp;';
        }

        if( $is_auth['auth_announce'] )
        {
                $topic_type_toggle .= '<input type="radio" name="topictype" value="' . POST_ANNOUNCE . '"';
                if ( $post_data['topic_type'] == POST_ANNOUNCE || $topic_type == POST_ANNOUNCE )
                {
                        $topic_type_toggle .= ' checked="checked"';
                }
                $topic_type_toggle .= ' /> ' . $lang['Post_Announcement'] . '&nbsp;&nbsp;';
        }

        // Start add - Global announcement MOD
        if( $is_auth['auth_globalannounce'] )
        {
                $topic_type_toggle .= '<input type="radio" name="topictype" value="' . POST_GLOBAL_ANNOUNCE . '"';
                if ( $post_data['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL_ANNOUNCE || $topic_type == POST_GLOBAL_ANNOUNCE )

                if ( $post_data['topic_type'] == POST_GLOBAL_ANNOUNCE )
                {
                $topic_type_toggle .= ' checked="checked"';
                }
                $topic_type_toggle .= ' /> ' . $lang['Post_global_announcement'] . '&nbsp;&nbsp;';
        }
        // End add - Global announcement MOD

        if ( $topic_type_toggle != '' )
        {
                $topic_type_toggle = $lang['Post_topic_as'] . ': <input type="radio" name="topictype" value="' . POST_NORMAL .'"' . ( ( $post_data['topic_type'] == POST_NORMAL || $topic_type == POST_NORMAL ) ? ' checked="checked"' : '' ) . ' /> ' . $lang['Post_Normal'] . '&nbsp;&nbsp;' . $topic_type_toggle;
        }
}
