Category Select - A new field type for ExpressionEngine
Posted by Andrew Gunstone on February 24 2010 | 0 Comments
We have been working hard, and have released another ExpressionEngine 1.6.8+ add-on. Category Select is a Pixel&Tonic’s FieldFrame field type which displays categories (from multiple category groups!) in a drop-down list.
The custom field type saves the category-id, plus it adds the entry to the normal category listing… allowing you to use the existing weblog category tags!
We have also added in a few little bonuses, including the ability to display not only the category-id, but the category heading, description and url_title.
The add-on is FREE and is available for download from GitHub. Full documentation is available on Andrew’s personal site (Sassafras Consulting).
