Hi,
If I want to put a select input in a meta-box on the edit page of my child theme, how can I add it to the array? I see that the code will process the input type select, but I can't seem to be able to format the string correctly.
For example,
$arr = array(something);
Where does it go in
$transform = array(
'something' => array( 'name' => 'Something', 'title' => __('Something:', 'transformation'), 'type' => 'select' ), );
}
This may help you, thanks to Justin
Hi,
I'm trying that, but the select box shows up empty :(

add_filter( 'hybrid_page_meta_boxes', 'trans_page_cat' );
function trans_page_cat( $meta ) {
$categories=get_category_list();
$meta['transcat'] = array( 'name' => 'Trans_Category', 'title' => __('Attach Category: Excerpts from this category will appear under the page content', 'transformation'),'type' => 'select', 'options' => $categories );
return $meta ;
}
function get_category_list() {
$catg = get_categories();
return $catg;
}It gives me a fatal error Object of class stdClass could not be converted into string...
There is other stuff there - text input which works perfectly.

oh. If I want to have a select box with categories out of which one can be selected, what would I have to use?
I tried wp_list_categories() but that outputs links outside the select box...
I think you might be looking for something like:
$catg = get_categories();
$myarray = array();
foreach ($catg as $cat) {
$myarray[] = $cat->cat_name;
}
return $myarray;which should give you an array of category names if this is what you are after.
That works just perfect. Thank you.

okay.
If I want to display the category name in the drop down box, but use save the term_id to prevent problems, how do I go about doing it?
Curently I have:
$categories=get_category_list();
if ( is_array( $categories ) ) $meta['transcat'] = array( 'name' => 'Trans_Category', 'title' => __('Attach Category: Excerpts from this category will appear under the page content', 'transformation'),'type' => 'select', 'options' => $categories );and
function get_category_list() {
$catg = get_categories();
$myarray = array();
foreach ($catg as $cat) {
$myarray[] = $cat->cat_name;
}
return $myarray; }You must be a logged-in exclusive member to view this reply.
Hi,
I'm using 0.8 now. Can you help me with the code I will have to use to achieve this?
Also, for some reason, my meta box has stopped saving. I'm using the same code.

I don't have or know how to use svn. Is there any other way I can get the recent revision? Or should I wait for the release?
