Dropdown Menu Dynamic Values

[rseigel]

This may not be possible but I thought I’d take a shot.

I need a particular drop-down in a form to be dynamic.

The values need to come from post titles in a specific category.

So….

Category = Fruits

Post titles = Banana, Apple and Orange

Dropdown options = Banana, Apple and Orange

If a post is removed from the category or a new one is added then the dropdown values should change along with it.

Any hints on how this might be accomplished?

Thanks Ally….that works perfectly.

I’m going to press my luck and try for one more thing related to this…

In a perfect world, as the user hovers over each choice in the dropdown, it would be wicked if the featured image from each post appeared. The image could appear at a given position relative to the dropdown (say 20px above and aligned with the left edge of the dropdown).

I don’t know how else to describe this so I hope that explains it clearly enough.

I usually like to try to figure things out myself but this one is way over my reach. 🙂

Cheers,

Ron

Thanks very much for your help Ally.

One more quick question…

In the code above, what if I wanted to populate from multiple categories?

I’ve already tried:

cat' => 4, 5, 6, 7

That works. Thanks very much.

One more tiny adjustment…

How would I sort the dropdown alphabetically?
