Title: Question about Category Dropdown list
Post by: Pedrocas on February 02, 2009, 07:34:58 PM

Hi,

I wonder if there's a way of create dropdown lists for unique categories.
I mean I know I can use the {category_dropdown} that will show me all the categories I have, but I would like to create dropdown lists for specific categories (with only one).

Is this possible to be done?
Thanks in advance for the help...

P.S: I'm using 1.7.6 version

Thanks for your reply.
Instead of showing all Categories in the dropdown list I need to show only one category (choosen by me).

Wow, that is some patience you got there :D

In includes/page_header.php find:
$site_template->register_vars("category_dropdown_selfjump", $category_dropdown_selfjump);

Insert above :above::
$categories_list = array(1,18,14); //list of categories IDs

$cat_parent_cache_backup = $cat_parent_cache;
$cat_parent_cache = array($categories_list);
$site_template->register_vars("category_dropdown_selfjump", get_category_dropdown(0, 1));
$site_template->register_vars("category_dropdown_form_custom", str_replace("'jumpbox'", "'jumpbox_custom'", str_replace('"jumpbox"', '"jumpbox_custom"', $site_template->parse_template("category_dropdown_form"))));
$cat_parent_cache = $cat_parent_cache_backup;
unset($categories_list, $cat_parent_cache_backup);

replace 1,18,14 with your own list of category IDs

In templates use {category_dropdown_form_custom}
