wp_dropdown_categories

[Javier]

Can I get something like the wp_dropdown_categories but with the category events?? What code is it?

Thanks

[Christina]

I’m interested in this too!

Hey folks. Since we’ve had a couple requests for this so far, let me get one of our devs to take a look and see what it’d take to accomplish 🙂

[Javier]

Any news about this?? thanks!

[Rob]

Hey Javier. Thanks for the note; at this point this is an issue logged with our devs to review but is on the backburner as we focus on more immediate releases (Events 2.0.4, Community add-on, etc). If we were to add something along these lines it probably wouldn’t be added until at least 2.1.

Once I hear back as to whether it’s possible, I’ll let you guys know. But this unfortunately won’t mean the code is ready right at that time.

Hey Guys,

Good news on this front, wp_dropdown_categories actually has a ‘taxonomy’ paramater that you can pass to it, so you could use it to generate the exact same dropdown with the events taxonomy right out of the box without any customization, like so:


TribeEvents::TAXONOMY) ); ?>


Note: there’s a full list of paramaters for the function here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories

Let me know if you have any other questions

Sorry guys, our system wrangled my code, so here it is in a more readable format: https://gist.github.com/1881943

Nice one guys!!! it works!!
How can I add a submit button so when I click on it displays that category on the grid?

I also would like to know once we select the category, for it to show the filtered grid, like when we actually click on the category on the event details view: http://domain.com/events/category/slug/

The code worked, but it just shows the drop down menu. does not do anything.

Thanks.

[Leonard]

Ok, I figured out how to filter the calendar using the drop downs.

[Rob]

Awesome to hear you got this figured out, Leonard. Let us know what else we can do.

[Joey Kudish]

Leonard, would be great if you shared your solution so that other users could benefit as well!

Let us know!

[Christopher]

I think this may be the answer to a thread I just posted/started! Please will you share for the less ‘developer’ minded of us Leonard?

[Rob]

Heh, all eyes on you Leonard 🙂 No pressure…

[Leonard]

Sure guys…will post it tomorrow.
