Not bad but it results in this output:

  dqm__subdesc0_0 = "Welcome Message" ;
  dqm__subdesc0_1 = "Introduction to Methodism" ;
  dqm__subdesc0_2 = "Our Calling" ;
  dqm__subdesc0_3 = "Structure of the Church" ;
  dqm__subdesc0_4 = "History of the Church" ;
  dqm__subdesc0_5 = "Beliefs of the Church" ;
  dqm__subdesc0_6 = "Essential Contacts" ;

  dqm__subdesc1_7 = "Special Sundays" ;
  dqm__subdesc1_8 = "Creative Arts" ;
  dqm__subdesc1_9 = "Evangelism" ;

dqm__subdesc2_10 = "Current News" ;

  dqm__subdesc3_11 = "Resources & Publications" ;
  dqm__subdesc3_12 = "Methodist Conference" ;
  dqm__subdesc3_13 = "World Conference" ;
  dqm__subdesc3_14 = "Getting onto the Internet" ;
  dqm__subdesc3_15 = "Resourcing Mission" ;
  dqm__subdesc3_16 = "TMCP" ;
  dqm__subdesc3_17 = "Children & Young People" ;
  dqm__subdesc3_18 = "Women's Network" ;
  dqm__subdesc3_19 = "World Church" ;

dqm__subdesc4_20 = "Links" ;

dqm__subdesc5_21 = "Get Involved" ;

Only the first section is correct. Each section needs to start at 0. So dqm__subdesc1_7 = "Special Sundays" ; should have been dqm__subdesc1_0 = "Special Sundays" ;

Any more suggestions?

Thanks

Dave

Hi,

I am looking into ways of setting up something and I was wondering if
anyone could provide some suggestions/code etc.

I have some drop-down menus which us the following syntax to build each
drop-down:

dqm__subdesc2_0 = "News Service" ;
  dqm__subdesc2_1 = "Flame";
  dqm__subdesc2_2 = "Diary";
  dqm__subdesc2_3 = "Conference";
  dqm__subdesc2_4 = "Media Office";
  dqm__subdesc2_5 = "Grants & Funds";
  dqm__subdesc2_6 = "Campaigns";

This set of menuse would be for the News section with an id of 2.

Now what I want to be able to do is calculate the second number dynamically

so that I have something like this:
<cfoutput query=foo>
dqm__subdesc#section#_#item# = "#pagetitle#" ;
</cfoutput>

The problem is that the query grabs not only section id 2 but also many
other sections.  Therefore I can't use queryname.currentrow as it also has
to start with a 0 (zero) for each new drop-down.  E.g.:

dqm__subdesc2_0 = "News Service" ;
  dqm__subdesc2_1 = "Flame";
  dqm__subdesc2_2 = "Diary";
  dqm__subdesc2_3 = "Conference";

  dqm__subdesc3_0 = "Media Office";
  dqm__subdesc3_1 = "Grants & Funds";
  dqm__subdesc3_2 = "Campaigns";

If any of the numbers are missed then the drop-down does not work.  Has
anyone ever done anything like this before?

There is also the added complication of fixed items which are no changeable

which would be statically assigned to the list.

So in the example above it might end up like this:

dqm__subdesc2_0 = "News Service" ;
<cfoutput query=foo>
dqm__subdesc2_#item# = "#pagetitle#" ;
</cfoutput>

  dqm__subdesc3_0 = "Media Office";
  dqm__subdesc3_1 = "Grants & Funds";
  dqm__subdesc3_2 = "Campaigns";
<cfoutput query=foo>
dqm__subdesc3_#item# = "#pagetitle#" ;
</cfoutput>

The dynamic menus would then have to start from the next number in the
array - what is the best way to do this?

My other option is to create an admin page where you have to assign the
#item# number to each menu which I want to avoid if possible.

Cheers

Dave
