Just a general question, has anyone seen a widget which will render sidebar menus in the same fashion as GF's fantastical conditional logic fields?

General question re. Conditional Dropdown Menus
-
I'm not 100% sure what functionality you are looking for, are you meaning showing and hiding widgets? What would the show/hide action be? Depending on which page you are on? If so there is a plugin that does that called Widget Logic. You can find it here:

If that isn't what you are referring to if you provide more details i'd be interested in hearing clarification on what you are talking about.

Hi carl. I mean drilling down through a hierarchical menu using some sort of parent child category/taxonomy. Example: on my sidebar I would like a primary drop down which has world regions... if I pick Asia it produces a secondary drop down below it (like the sexy effect you have on the conditional drop downs) with Asian countries, and if I choose an asian country, it slides out a 3rd drop down with a list of posts/pages which are tagged to that country.
Thats what I would like to do :)

So a drill down of your categories using drop downs with the end result being a drop down of the posts themselves for the final category. Interesting idea. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult for a developer to create either. It is a good widget idea.

Its a nice to have, not high priority so will keep it on the backburner... just thought someone might have run across something like this. What I really DO need to figure out is how to get custom fields a,b and c, in a post from a custom post type (created using GF) ... how to get those fields printed out on another custom post type page to which the form post fields are related. e.g. I have a custom post type "sausages", and custom post type "sausage reviews"... each post in "sausages" relates to a different type of sausage (a finite number). There is a field in "sausage reviews" which lets the user choose the type of sausage, and then a number of appropriate taxonomy fields like taste, colour etc... So I need to get some fields those sausage reviews on to the correct sausage type page.
