Re: Location drop down by State and City

I added a dropdown list with 4 options on the edit page of ads, but forces me to select the location again, otherwise it does not validate the field.

Any solution to some experts?

my code.

Code:

	

<label>Selection  *(Options)

                <select name='location' id='location' class='postform' >
                <option value="<?php if ($hfield == '3') { echo $errcolor; } ?>" ><?php echo get_post_meta($getmyad->ID, "location", true); ?> </option>
                <option value="Option 1">Option 1</option>
                <option value="Option 2">Option 2</option>
                <option value="Option 3">Option 3</option>
                <option value="Option 4">Option 4</option>
                </select></label></p>

Re: Location drop down by State and City
I find a problem with this change,
Problem is: When you select (State, City). Location custom filed is storing only city name. which in turn google map show only city name not with a combination of state+city.

Eg: If i select "Connecticut" as state and "Bristol" as city name. Then google maps shows "famous city "Bristol" which is from UK, Instead of showing it from US.

So is there any solution were we can tell post-form.php to store state, city in Location custom field ?

Re: Location drop down by State and City
I have one question about this solution.

It doesn't require the poster to select any area if the the "- Select Area - " is selected. This means that it is bypassing the requirement for location.

Any solution for this?

Every time I try, it just hangs with the 2nd drop down box empty.

Any help would be great! Thanks

change the number in your js file from 4 to 5 (it needs to be 1 number higher than the items in your list)

I am looking to get this on tpl-edit-ad.php any one figured that out?

Plus I would like to have a list of states on my homepage that they can select and have it return just the items within that state and/or city.

thank you

Re: Location drop down by State and City
thanks, this is very helpful!

however, there are the usual quirks for IE8 if I assign the ID to a <select> element instead of a <div>

I need to have this working on <select> because what changes in my configuration must be only the <option>s elements (I want to use more than one instance of this script and each instance has different parameters on <select>; if I load the html from the <div>, the <select> will be always the same)

with ID assigned to <select> it works in FF3.6, Opera10, Chrome4 but not IE8 or IE7... and I can't figure out why

in IE8 it doesn't populate the 2nd <select> dropdown element... I tried to eliminate the other instances and use only one, but still doesn't work... perhaps it's something in the javascript? I wish I could fix this...

make sure the path to city.php is correct, that you have it in the right location
Code:

<? bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/city.php
so it should be in the root of the classipress theme folder, with header.php, footer.php, etc.

That's the only reason I can think of it 404'ing like that, it cant find city.php. Or perhaps you have RewriteBase /directory/ issue in your .htaccess for a subdomain running wordpress?
