Hi all, new to the forum and VB so please forgive me if this is simple to answer.

I am putting a forum navigation bar in the header, so it will have the names of the parent categories listed then when you click them the sub menu with the subacategories will appear in a drop down list.

Now I know I need to manually input the forum I a linking to, eg:

http://www.mydomain.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3

However if possible I would like to dynamically grab the name of the forum I am linking to, so then if I change a forum name it will udpate in the menu too.

I think it is something to do with $foruminfo[title] but I dont know how to use it to grab a specific forum title. Obviously i would need the forum ID so I guess it would be something like:

$foruminfo[title].[ID]

Or something like that.

Please help I have been stuck with this for 2 days.

On the forumdisplay this would be the code your looking for

$foruminfo[title_clean]

Thanks for the reply.

I am wanting to have this menu in the head of the website so it will show on the portal as well. CMPS

Is there no way using the forum id to grab the forum title?

I'm not 100% sure what it is you're trying to do, I can't picture it in my head, maybe because it's way past my bed time he...but see if this helps you...
