In this video, I will show you how to create a jump menu. Jump menus basically give quick access to commonly accessed content. We’ll create a jump menu to shop by Department.

• Go to "Structure => Views => Add new view" (admin/structure/views/add)
• View name: Shop By
• Show: Taxonomy terms
  • of type: Department
• [ ] Uncheck create a page
• [x] Create a block
• Block title: Shop by
• Display format: Jump menu
• Items per page: ((Leave this blank) This will set it to unlimited items per page)
• (Continue & edit)

Format

If we scroll down to the live preview, we'll see our menu item contains Children's, Men's and Women's, and there is a "Go" button next to it. Let's say we want to get rid of the "Go" button, and have it go as soon as the user makes a selection.

• Click "Settings" next to Jump Menu
• [x] Hide the "Go" button
• (Apply(all displays))
• (Save) (Save the view)

Display the block

Now, we need to display our block.

• Go to "Structure => Blocks" (admin/structure/block)
• Scroll down to Disabled
  • View: Shop By
    • Region: Sidebar first
• (Save blocks)

Go to homepage and see the "Shop by" block with a drop down menu that contains the the taxonomy terms that are used in the "Product" content type. And if I click one of the options, I am taken directly to the taxonomy term page for that taxonomy term.
