Conditional dropdown

    Hi,

    I’m trying to create a backend form with PODS. I use ACT for three related tables: Brands, Categories, Products.
    Each product belongs to a certain category (eg. Printers) which belongs to a certain brand (eg. HP). Each brand has its own categories (eg. HP may have Printers and PCs, Apple may have Iphone and Ipad etc.)

    1) Shall I use a custom taxonomy for Brand + Categories ? This would result in a hierarchy of Brands + Categories, which is what I want, BUT :

    2 I also need to implement a conditional dropdown that let me select first the Brand, then updates the Categories dropdown to show only categories for that particular Brand, and when I choose the category it updates the available products for that Category. Which way should I go? Shortcodes, API?

    Any help would be appreciated,
    thanks for the PODS plugin!

    Hi @swaip

    I would create separate taxonomies for brands and categories.
    However, the conditional dropdowns are a bit more complex and will require custom PHP/JS coding. Such a feature isn’t supported by Pods at the moment.

    Have you checked FacetWP?

    Cheers, Jory
