Show all Categories & Subcategories

[jebs38]

Is there a way to have all the categories shown on the event submission form?

Also, the category list does not break down into categories and subcategories.

For example:

Arts Events:
Theatre
Dance

Is there a way to alter that setup?

Hi John,

There’s no easy way to do this now. You need to tap into the formCategoryDropdown() function but we don’t have a filter for it so you would need to modify the core to change the category selection at all. I’ve just created a ticket to add this functionality in a future version and we’ll likely add this functionality soon as it’s a pretty important function to be able to control what categories are displayed.

Cheers,
Jonah

Thanks Jonah.

I think I will just leave that change to the developers. It is most important for my site that all the categories be shown. I know that they are all there, but I don’t know that my users will. It would be easier for my users to see all of their options to begin with, and not to have to click something to see more.

Thanks for your answer.
John

Well one thing you could do now John is modify the CSS to make the “Show all categories” link pop a little more…
