I have a drop-down list of taxonomies, I created a taxonomy with a name "-choose-" to get a default label and invite the user to make the choice?
how can I make taxonomy "-choose-" is not seen as a taxonomy.
is there a trick?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know where you are displaying the taxonomy filed as select drop-down - is it using CRED form?

Have you created "-choose-" option as taxonomy term?

I would like to know where you are displaying the taxonomy filed as select drop-down - is it using CRED form?
Yes CRED form

Have you created "-choose-" option as taxonomy term?
Yes

I created you a user for 24 hours
user: staff
pass: toolset

log in to the site and click on "add creature" at the end of the form you find the three drop-down fields
(they are taxonomies)

[Minesh]

Well - you should not add default option "-choose-" as taxonomy term.

Rather you can use some javascript/jQuery code to add default option to your taxonomy select box.

For example - Try to add following code to your CRED form's JS box and adjust the select box name as described:

jQuery("select[name='YOUR-SELECT-NAME']").prepend('<option value="">- choose-</option>');
jQuery("select[name='YOUR-SELECT-NAME']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;

Where:
- Replace 'YOUR-SELECT-NAME' with your original select name

Hi Minesh,
I have three drop-down lists of taxonomies, here is the code of the CRED module

<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-aggiungi creatura originale-348' name='creature-sesso']sesso[/wpml-string]</label>
		[cred_field field='creatura-sesso' display='select' single_select='true' output='bootstrap']
		</div>

	<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-aggiungi creatura originale-348' name='creature-specie']specie[/wpml-string]</label>
		[cred_field field='creatura-specie' display='select' single_select='true' output='bootstrap']
		</div>

	<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-aggiungi creatura originale-348' name='creature-vita-assieme']siamo stati assieme per...[/wpml-string]</label>
		[cred_field field='creatura-vita-assieme' display='select' single_select='true' output='bootstrap']
		</div>

I canceled the first taxonomy -choose- I entered your code in the "JS editor" section of the CRED module, but there are no changes

[Minesh]

Ahh - could you please try following code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

jQuery("select[name='creatura-sesso']").prepend('<option value="0">- choose-</option>');
jQuery("select[name='creatura-sesso']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;


jQuery("select[name='creatura-specie']").prepend('<option value="0">- choose-</option>');
jQuery("select[name='creatura-specie']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;

jQuery("select[name='creatura-sesso']").prepend('<option value="0">- choose-</option>');
jQuery("select[name='creatura-vita-assieme']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;

});

nothing, the first item of the drop down menu does not change

[Minesh]

Could you please share problem URL?

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

[massimoS527]

I'm sorry I do not want to upset all my work.
I created you a user for 24 hours:

hidden link

access details removed

the problem can be found here: hidden link
at the end you will find the 3 drop-down menus

[Minesh]

Thank you for sharing access details but I could not able to access anything using this account. Could you please grant full access rights to the user so that I can access CRED forms etc..etc .

Thank you for sharing access details but unfortunately the shared access details are not working.

Could you please check access details once and send me working access details.

[Minesh]

Could you please check now. I can see now it's working fine.

I've added the following code to your CRED form's JS box:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
 
jQuery("select[name='creatura-sesso[]']").prepend('<option value="0">-choose-</option>');
jQuery("select[name='creatura-sesso[]']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;
 
 
jQuery("select[name='creatura-specie[]']").prepend('<option value="0">-choose-</option>');
jQuery("select[name='creatura-specie[]']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;
 
jQuery("select[name='creatura-vita-assieme[]']").prepend('<option value="0">-choose-</option>');
jQuery("select[name='creatura-vita-assieme[]']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;
 
});

very good, it works !!!
How can I make the choice of taxonomies an obligatory field?

this is the code I use in the CRED module

<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-aggiungi creatura originale-348' name='creature-sesso']sesso[/wpml-string]</label>
		[cred_field field='creatura-sesso' display='select' single_select='true' output='bootstrap']
		</div>

thanks

You can validate your CRED form using CRED API hook: cred_save_data

I'm not able to use hooks
