Hello markos24ro,
I hope my fix will solve your problem or most of the problem: http://pastebin.com/H7Vxn94V
I noticed that you don’t correctly separate the html and php. Also, I don’t know if you want to echo or return the $html but added a code for that and also a comment! 🙂
Let me know if it works. okay? 🙂
Cheers!
Calvin
Thanks Calvin, that’s what I tried before, but I get this error:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in …/functions.php on line 686
Line 686 is this:
$html .= '<option value="'.$cat_id.'" '.$cat_name.'>'.$cat_name.'</option>' ;
Hello markos24ro,
Add the “->term_id” to $cat_id just like this:
$cat_id
to
$cat_id->term_id
The reason you are getting the error is $cat_id an object and we got confused because of its name.
Hope it helps! 🙂
Cheers!
Calvin
I’m a little bit silly, and I juts don’t get it.
Can you please update the code from http://pastebin.com/H7Vxn94V with the changes, I will give you a beer !
Hey there markos,

Thank you Calvin, now the code does not give the error, but on select instead to display all category’s names that I have on my site it is displayed only Uncategorized as many time as the number of my categories.
Hi Markos,
Same result for me.
Please check this version – https://gist.github.com/idenkov/3995f1e789c6f4bfb90f
It works fine on my local install with Twenty Twelve theme.
Let me know if this works for you. 🙂
Thanks,
Ivan
Thanks Ivan, now the categories are displayed right, but on click update the select form does not keep the value of the selected category.
Hello Markos,
How are you? 🙂
You can’t see it because you are comparing the $cat_id to $category which we don’t know if initialize or set. As you can see here:
if($category == $cat_id) {
Is the $category variable somewhere set in your theme?
Please advise,
Calvin
Yes, it is used:
$category = get_option('create-posts-from-images-category');
Here it is the entire select code:
<select name="create-posts-from-images-category" >';
$category_ids = get_all_category_ids();
foreach($category_ids as $cat_id)
{
$cat_name = get_cat_name($cat_id);
if($category == $cat_id)
{
$html .= '<option selected="selected" value="'.$cat_id.'" '.$cat_name.'>'.$cat_name.'</option>' ;
}
else
{
$html .= '<option value="'.$cat_id.'" '.$cat_name.'>'.$cat_name.'</option>' ;
}
}
$html.= '</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p class="submit">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="update" />
<input type="hidden" name="page_options" value="create-posts-from-images-interval,create-posts-from-images-titlelist,create-posts-from-images-linklist,create-posts-from-images-category,create-posts-from-images-addtobody,create-posts-from-images-useimagename,create-posts-from-images-delimiter" />
<input class="button button-large button-primary" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Update" />
</p>
</form>
Hi markos24ro,
It seems I messed up something in the code when posting to gist, and I don’t have previous versions on this computer.
Give it a go with this code-
<select name="event-dropdown" onchange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
<option value=""><?php echo esc_attr(__('Select Category')); ?></option>
<?php
$option = '<option value="' . get_option('home') . '/category/">All Categories</option>';
// change category to your custom page slug
$categories = get_terms( 'category', array(
'orderby' => 'count',
'hide_empty' => 0,
) );
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$option .= '<option value="'.get_option('home').'/category/'.$category->slug.'">';
$option .= $category->name;
$option .= ' ('.$category->count.')';
$option .= '</option>';
}
echo $option;
?>
</select>
This time this should work. 🙂
Thanks,
Ivan
I am using this code in functions php, so it is not working
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘document’ (T_STRING) in /home/wallpapersitetem/public_html/demo4/wp-content/themes/funnypics/functions.php on line 598
Line 598 it is:
<select name="event-dropdown" onchange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
Thanks a lot for your time, I wish you a Happy New Year !
Hi markos24ro,
Put the code in your theme files – header, footer or some other page template you will like the dropdown be showed.
Sorry should have explained this in the previous posts.
Happy new year to you too!
Ivan
