How to show a dropdown list for a category.
How Do I?
Hello all and thank you your help.
Can you please point me into the right direction with the following scenario?
I have a Category Group called “automobile” and category Tesla, Toyota, Ford, Honda, etc… How can I add a list of model cars to my categories?… for ex:
If I want to add an entry into my channel I select category Tesla and I would like (when I select this category) to attache a list of models displayed only to this category… can this be done? Thank you all for reading this. B.
Hi,
There are a few ways I believe. Relationships, query or categories and subcategories. In your case I believe you have main category Tesla, and subcategory Model X
The code will be something like this i think…
<select>
{exp:channel:categories channel="your_channel_name_here"}
{if parent_id == 'your_Tesla_main_category_ID_here'}
<option value="{category_url_title}">{category_name}</option>
{/if}
{/exp:channel:categories}
</select>have a look at the documentation maybe it will help more…
It actually sounds to me like you’d be better off with Relationships, as your car makers are no longer just taxonomy, but are needing to contain content. So you’d have a manufacturers and a make/model channel, which would relate to that.
