Thread: Different custom fields for each category

Different custom fields for each category

How would you assign different custom fields for different categories?

Perhaps tweaking the post-form.php and creating separate forms for each category?

Or making certain parts of the form to appear / disappear according to user selection of category?

for example -> users selects category "A"... then there's a php condition that if A is the selection, make appear the field "x" from the form, else do not show... if category "B" is selected, show "y", else do not show...

how would you do that? I'm really interested in this... any opinions?

thank you a lot

Re: Different custom fields for each category

How about using the "if" argument in php. The wordpress codex might help http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .

Re: Different custom fields for each category

yeah I thought of that... I'm not a great php coder and I'm looking for the right syntax...

like... if the selected category in a dropdown is "x" then change the style of a div in a form to "visible" if it's "y" keep that div hidden and show another instead...

anybody?
