Nevermind.. Got it..

Matthew,

thanks for the reply and for the info. Will keep that in mind for future reference. I am still confident I can do this on my own.

After a lot of searching I decided its better to go with the more customized option of using Advanced Custom Fields.

Thanks
Harry

Well, should have really thought about that myself.

Anyway, thanks Michael and really really big ups for this excellent plugin.

OK,

funny how you really feel the pressure of being called a lazy b once you posted something in the forum.. After 24 hours of searching I finally found it!! And its so easy I am about to cry!!

Anyways, for all the co-newbies out there having similar struggles. There goes:

If($_POST['Submit']) {
$drop = $_POST['dropdown'];
echo $drop;
?>
<?php
}
else // else we didn't submit the form, so display the form
{
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<select name="dropdown" >
<option value=""><?php echo esc_attr(__('Select a Category')); ?></option>
<?php
    $categories = get_categories('orderby=name&name=categorySearch');
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
    $option = '<option value="'.$category->term_id.'">';
    $option .= $category->cat_name;
    $option .= '</option>';
    echo $option;
    }
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="addcoursesubmit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
} // end else no post['submit']
?>

Yupp,

that was pretty much what I was looking for here… A starting point.

Thanks a lot jherrington1!

Esmi,

OK thanks for the info. Doing this now.
