Hi
I’ve got a lot of categories on my site and when it comes to a customer selecting them the current way of doing it can get very problematic. categories are hard to find as its just one long list of categories and sub categories, and the user won’t necessarily know what to search for meaning items can end up in the wrong place.
I was wondering whether a method that I’ve attached (taken from etsy) can be done. Where the user selects the main parent category, and then subsequently selects the available child categories for that parent.
Any help appreciated!
That would be a fairly complex way to to do it. Is it the select box that is making it difficult? Could the list be shown “longer”? Would checkboxes work better for? How many total categories/subcategories do you have?
Ben
Would it be possible to output the entire checkbox list of categories as a list like below then maybe I could perhaps style it into an accordion which would help break down the categories for the user.
I’ve noticed in the html of the drowdown list in the on the dashboard that the sub categories have different categories depending on whether they’re a parent or child category e.g parent categories have the class “level-0” the child category is “level-1” and the second child category is “level-2”. So this might be possible?
<ul class="accordion"> <li></li> <ul class="sub-category"> <li></li> <ul class="sub-sub-category"> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul>Did you become a solution?
Following 🙂 I really need a way for my vendors to tick the parent and the associated child categories (plus an easier way for them to tick multiple categories at once)…
In v1.3.0 (~1 month) we will have a multi select option for categories.
In v1.2.0 (less than 1 week) we have a new option to hide categories you do not want vendors to list products in.
Ohhh lord! This would be really really nice update !
Its hard for the vendors to choose categories the way it works now.
Hi Franz,
You can use the multi select and the category exclusion already, update to Pro v1.2.2 and check your WC Vendors settings in wp-admin.
Cheers
Hi Ben,
thanks for your answer, but what is with the announced “In v1.3.0 (~1 month) we will have a multi select option for categories.”
Posts are dated information. What is accurate last month may not be accurate this month. Even though I said it would be part of v1.3.0, we released that early, and it’s in v1.2.2. Not sure why this is a complaint from you, you should be excited not unhappy. 😉
the problem is: the dropdown is only good, if you have no sub-categories.
checklist is not so nice.I think it it was thought that it will be implemented as in the image in post #12603
but I have found a way to adapt the code.
