I modified my main_side_news_categories so it shows a dropdown select box, thus taking up less real estate on the screen.

First modification was to side_news_categories.php  in function run() (move edited one to proper _custom directory of course):

Code

        foreach ($categories2 as $category)
        {
//        $url=build_url(array('page'=>'news','type'=>'misc','id'=>$category['id']),get_module_zone('news'));
            $name=get_translated_text($category['nc_title']);
            $target=urlencode($category['id']);

//            $content->attach(do_template('BLOCK_SIDE_NEWS_CATEGORIES_CATEGORY',array('_GUID'=>'fee49cac370ec00fc59d2e9c66b6255a','URL'=>$url,'NAME'=>$name,'COUNT'=>integer_format($count))));
            $content->attach(do_template('BLOCK_SIDE_NEWS_CATEGORIES_CATEGORY',array('_GUID'=>'fee49cac370ec00fc59d2e9c66b6255a','TARGET'=>$target,'NAME'=>$name,'COUNT'=>integer_format($count))));
        }
        return do_template('BLOCK_SIDE_NEWS_CATEGORIES',array('_GUID'=>'b47a0047247096373e5aa626348c4ebb','CONTENT'=>$content,'PRE'=>'','POST'=>''));

block_side_news_categories.tpl and block_side_news_categories_category.tpl attached.



You can see it here:  http://www.air-rc.com/Blogs/index.php?page=start

I don't use the 'news' part, I just use members 'blogs'.

There they are.   I changed the {CATEGORIES*} at the start of the first one, don't do that, that's specific to what I wanted to achive.

Sorry Fletch.   

Got rid of that 'ban'…  Had software that suggested it was a 'bad' IP.

Thanks. It's the reason I dislike 'blacklists'.

Interesting display. I've 'saved' it for future inclusion.

Yeah, I don't like them either, but I started out with a few problem people out there and kind of got caught up in trying to shut them out.   I figure I have everything else set (permissions and such) so it shouldn't matter anymore.

You say as I ban whole countries or, at least, try.

The blacklists I am using seem pretty good. Portugal does not seem to be included in the any country list or the list of exploited servers. The guy who makes the list seems to take his time to get things right.
