Any luck yet

No not yet. Still waiting for suggestions :-)

You need to alter skins/<skin name/_bloglist.php ;)

	'<input type="submit" value="Go" />'.

/*
 nolog */
?>

Then just have $blog_list_as_list as true.

sorry for being really stupid, but where do I set that?

In my template I just have

	require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_bloglist.php' );

to display the bloglist.

Right now its just shows a bulleted list with the new _bloglist.php

Yeh so replace your skin's _bloglist.php with the one i posted above, and change;

require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_bloglist.php' );

to

$blog_list_as_list = true;
require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_bloglist.php' );

Wow now it work! Thanks a lot!

One small error though: it does not work with subdomains. I guess because it call the blogs via index.php?blog=X

Stubfiles does not work either (but you are still able to call the blog - with the subs I get 404 error).

I guess because it call the blogs via index.php?blog=X

Yeh.

I would need to figure out how stubfiles or the subdomains work to do that. Maybe someone else has the know how...

another way to do it :

I made a _dropdownbloglist.php

<FORM>
<SELECT NAME="bloglist" onchange=window.location=this.options[selectedIndex].value>
<?php
for( $curr_blog_ID = blog_list_start();
			$curr_blog_ID != false;
			 $curr_blog_ID = blog_list_next() )
{
	if( !blog_list_iteminfo( 'in_bloglist', false ) )
	{ // don't show
		continue;
	}
	if( $curr_blog_ID == $blog )
	{ // This is the blog being displayed on this page:
		echo '<option value="';
		blog_list_iteminfo('blogurl', 'raw');
		echo '" selected="selected">'; 
		blog_list_iteminfo('shortname', 'htmlbody');
		echo '</option>';
	}
	else
	{ // This is another blog:
		echo '<option value="';
		blog_list_iteminfo('blogurl', 'raw');
		echo '">';
		blog_list_iteminfo('shortname', 'htmlbody');
		echo '</option>';
	} // End of testing which blog is being displayed
}
?>
	</SELECT>
</FORM>

and on the place i wanted that :
<?php require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_dropdownbloglist.php' ); ?>

thanks all! The last solution worked well! Now it also works with stubs and subdirs!

Thanks for all the help! :D
