Default Expanding and Collapsing Items, Connect to Pages

Hello,
I would like to be able to have a list of words, each with a "+" next to it. If you click on that word (or the "+" sign next to that word), another list of items appear beneath the word. Each of those words can also be expanded to another list. Of that final list, I want the user to be able to click one of those final items, and be taken to another page entirely, with information. I do not want anyone to have access to that page (i.e. not available in the "News" or "Blog" section, on its own) unless they go through the search criteria mentioned above.

I would like to do this for a number of words (expand to another list, then expand each item on that list to another list of hyperlinked words, each of which connects to its own page).

Is this possible within vBulletin Publishing Suite 4.1.11?

Or if I could just use a dropdown list, that would actually be preferable. I just want to have the following:

Combination 1: Choice A1 + Choice B1 + Choice C1 = webpage 1
Combination 2: Choice A1 + Choice B1 + Choice C2 = webpage 2
Combination 3: Choice A1 + Choice B1 + Choice C3 = webpage 3
Combination 4: Choice A1 + Choice B2 + Choice C1 = webpage 4
Combination 5: Choice A1 + Choice B2 + Choice C2 = webpage 5
Combination 6: Choice A1 + Choice B2 + Choice C3 = webpage 6
Combination 7: Choice A1 + Choice B3 + Choice C1 = webpage 7
Combination 8: Choice A1 + Choice B3 + Choice C2 = webpage 8
Combination 9: Choice A1 + Choice B3 + Choice C3 = webpage 9
Combination 10: Choice A2 + Choice B1 + Choice C1 = webpage 10

etc etc etc (there will be a lot).

I basically want these webpages ("webpage 1", "webpage 2", etc) to be just normal, for lack of a better word, landing pages, rather than "Blog" or "News".

Can someone please help me? Do you know what I mean?

I can't think of anything specific to vbulletin that helps with this, but it's something you could do in html/php. You just need to create a form with your dropdown lists, then submit the form to a php script that looks at the values and decides which page you should see.

You said you don't want access to the page unless they use the search criteria - do you mean it should be blocked if they happen to know the url but didn't use the search? That's more difficult - I can't think how you'd do that offhand, especially if the target pages are just static html pages.

I have no idea how to do any of that. Can you please help?

Is there a mod that can allow this option in vBulletin 4?

If someone knows the url for each page, they can definitely enter it. I don't want to block them from that. I just don't want each of those pages (and there will be a lot of them) to appear in the tabs of my site (because it will be so many).

--------------- Added [DATE]1332695630[/DATE] at [TIME]1332695630[/TIME] ---------------

I just want to be able to have the user choose one item, then choose another, then choose another, and be taken to a specific page.
