Section to categories dropdown menu Module

Module for Joomla 1.5.7 developed by Kulendra Janaka upon my request. Works on Joomla versions 1.5.8 y 1.5.9 too. Installs like any other Joomla module.

Allow to access content items using two drop-down menus.

1. In the first drop-down there is a list of all Joomla content sections.
2. When you choose the section, the second drop-down loads the categories of the chosen section.
3. To allow some formatting to the result page, there is a module parameter called "Linked menu". You have to create a "category blog" menu item and set-up it parameters. This menu item "id" you have to put in mod_catselect "linked menu" parameter field.

I hope that it will be useful.

There is no support!

Attention: Because the demo site is brand new, there is a lot of categories without content. You can try it with Chevrolet -> Corsa.

Works perfectly, installation was quit simple and the module does what I want.

Looking forward to a Joomla 1.6 version with more drop-down menus for subcategories.

This module is very handy.
Creating new menu item sounds not too logical for me, but it works and the result is exactly what it was announced (it means great!).
I recommend to create the menu item in some menu which you will not present "online" (topmenu etc.), not in the main menu, it works anyway.
Thank to autor, good job!
