Hi all,
I'm beginning to get a REALLY BIG directory structure. The select a category dropdown in the add and modify forms are beginning to get quite LONG! I'm looking for a solution to what seems to me to be a usability problem.
My set up has 4 major categories. Under each of these there are many subcategories. One solution would be to have a custom add forms each with a custom dropdown perhaps coded for by a global. Unfortunately, the project requires that people are able to submit to multiple major categories upon submission. I have the multiple category select mod working beautifully. No I just need to figure out a way to make this dropdown more user friendly but still allow multiple selections. Anybody care to throw out some suggestions? One multiselect dropdown per major category? (seems like a programming nightmare). Other ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
