Categories to dropdown

    Hi,

    I’ve managed to get an empty dropdown. I’m really not too sure what I’m doing.

    This is my function:

    //Shortcode for Contact Form 7 Categories List
function wt_category_list() {

	$categories = get_categories( array('order'=> 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'title' ) );
	foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
		$label = $categories->category_title; // label of menu select option
		$value = $categories->category_title; // value of menu select option
	$options[$label] = $value;
	}
	return $options;
}

    And this is the line in Contact Form 7

    [dynamicselect dynamicselect-131 "list-of-categories"]
add_filter('list-of-categories', 'wt_category_list', 10, 2);

    This part should be located in functions.php with your function instead of in the form

    add_filter('list-of-categories', 'wt_category_list', 10, 2);

    Is your function working, powerj? I need to display the same fields.

    If someone else needs some help, here’s the code that worked for me:

    function cf7_dynamic_select() {

    $output = array('área de atua??o/Segmento' => '0');
    $args = array(
      'order'=> 'ASC',
      'orderby'=> 'name',
      'hide_empty' => 0 );
    $categories = get_categories($args);
    foreach( $categories as $category ) {
        $output[$category->name] = $category->name;
    }
    return $output;
}
add_filter('my-filter', 'cf7_dynamic_select', 10, 2);

    Thanks, John Huebner, for the excelent plugin!

    Where would you place the function cf7_dynamic_select() ?

    I have no clue what im doing as well.

    your filter function should be added to your functions.php file.

    How could I do the same exact thing but with “clients” instead of “categories”?

    That would depend on what clients are and how they are stored. The idea of this plugin is simple, you just need to return an array with the choices. How you generate will require research into how to get your values.
