Thread: How to generate a drop down widget, based on a custom field?

How to generate a drop down widget, based on a custom field?

I am working on a directory for NY state businesses, but would like to have a sidebar widget that helps find businesses by city.

So I would like to create a custom drop down field for city (Which will get filled by 50+ options).

I would then like to auto-generate this drop down field as a widget for the sidebar.

In the end, people can search for a business by zip/name but also by selection of the widget drop down.

I guess the same can be done for hours of operation? language? etc.? More of an advanced search option?

thanks
