Wanting to add a drop down menu to reg form I want to add a drop down list to the user registration form for users to pick a category for their page to be under when signing up.

I also want it so people can click on a menu and it will take them to a page view that their catagory is under.... for example, clicking on "food" brings up a view with all pages related to food..

Is this done with the taxonomy? Or can I just set up a view to fetch the related shops from the database?

Any ideas?
Create a  BLOCK-VIEW of type TAXONOMY.
Select the vocabulary which u have created and want to be displayed in DROP DOWN LIST.
In the format type,select JUMP MENU.
SAVE the view.
Assign view to a region where you want drop down menu to be displayed..
