How to get website switch instead of storage switch?

How to create a drop-down menu to switch websites, not just stores?

In particular, I want to switch between Magento websites. There is a drop-down menu in the template for switching stores and one for switching languages, but not for switching sites.

Found solution on Magento forums: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/8296/

You need to create a copy of the app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/switch/stores.phtml in your custom theme package.

Then you must change it to use the following code:

 <?php $websites = Mage::app()->getWebsites(); if (count($websites) > 1): ?> <div class="website-switcher"> <label for="select-website"><?php echo $this->__('Select Store:') ?></label> <select id="select-website" title="<?php echo $this->__('Select Store') ?>" onchange="location.href=this.value"> <?php foreach ($websites as $website): // print out each website name and code as a dropdown box item ?> <?php $_selected = $website->getCode() == Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getCode() ? ' selected="selected"' : '' ?> <option value="<?php echo $website->getDefaultStore()->getBaseUrl()?>"<?php echo $_selected ?>><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($website->getName()) ?></option> <?php endforeach; ?> </select> </div> <?php endif; ?>
