It should be in the next major release. I can't give you a date just yet. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravit-forms-expanding-category-field-choice#post-6472 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:44:53 +0000 Nitin 6472@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl </p> <p>I'm waiting for custom taxonomy getting included directly in forms for Posts. Considering WP 3.0 is out, any idea when we'll be getting it?</p> <p>Regards<br /> Nitin </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravit-forms-expanding-category-field-choice#post-5940 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:41:31 +0000 Carl Hancock 5940@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, the example was just using the tags input. You can do the same thing with the category input using the same code only modified to target the correct field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravit-forms-expanding-category-field-choice#post-5932 Mon, 31 May 2010 21:59:53 +0000 anointed 5932@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You gave me reference to a function above that allows me to 'override' the tags input to use my own custom taxonomy tags. That worked perfectly for what it was.</p> <p>Is there no such ability to do the same thing with the category choice like we can with tags?</p> <p>I'm comfortable adding functions to my functions.php file. It's just knowing what to hook into and how to modify it that gets me a bit stuck. Basically I'm just to new to using gravity to know what all I can do with it right now. I am reading through all the code to figure it out though.</p> <p>thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravit-forms-expanding-category-field-choice#post-5927 Mon, 31 May 2010 19:19:11 +0000 Carl Hancock 5927@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, it makes sense. We can look at adding the ability to utilize dropdown and checkboxes for tag input in a future release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravit-forms-expanding-category-field-choice#post-5922 Mon, 31 May 2010 17:41:07 +0000 anointed 5922@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@Carl<br /> The link you pointed me to works great for custom taxonomies 'tags' but does not work with replacing categories. I do appreciate the link though. It gives me the concept that I need, but I could not find the corresponding function in wp to generate the same concept for gf 'categories' drop downs.</p> <p>Yes I understand how wp works with taxonomies. Basically my custom post-type does not contain a 'category' choice, but uses a custom hierarchical taxonomy called 'series'.</p> <p>When I use the code from the above example to replace the 'tags' logic, then I end up with a tags box that the user has to fill in.</p> <p>I'm trying to use the gf 'categories' drop down logic. Where I define my category as a custom taxonomy. </p> <p>This would force my users into using only taxonomy terms from series that I allow via drop down.</p> <p>hope this makes sense. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravit-forms-expanding-category-field-choice#post-5906 Mon, 31 May 2010 11:37:12 +0000 Carl Hancock 5906@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomy are not currently support as a native feature in the Gravity Forms admin UI. HOWEVER they are both supported via hooks that you can use and some custom PHP you place in your themes function.php file.</p> <p>See these threads:</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-a-form-to-create-a-new-custom-post-type" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-a-form-to-create-a-new-custom-post-type</a></p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-taxonomies" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-taxonomies</a></p> <p>We do plan on adding custom post type and custom taxonomy directly within the admin UI after WordPress 3.0 is released. So it will be a feature you can control from the admin in an upcoming release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravit-forms-expanding-category-field-choice#post-5890 Sun, 30 May 2010 18:14:41 +0000 anointed 5890@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have created numerous custom taxonomies both hierarchical and non for my post types. </p> <p>Currently in gravity I only see the choice for categories. I can't find the area, if it exists yet, to choose my custom taxonomy and then choose the terms belonging to the custom taxonomy just like the current categories do.</p> <p>Is this functionality available yet?</p> <p>scenario:<br /> Movies post type has custom tax 'actors' I would like to show the actors terms in a dropdown within gravity, like we can do with cats. This would be used in a front end gravity input form for allowing users to add a movie post type. </p>
