We have a lot of CSI (MasterFormat) Divisions to include on a Vendor page. When I add the taxonomy (hierarchical) to the New Supplier form, it looks like the attached images. As this is obscenely long, I need to discover how to make this more manageable. I have a few ideas, but do not know how to execute them with Toolset.
1. Have the primary categories expand/collapse. (preferred)
2. Limit the height of the input area allowed for the taxonomy.
Would either of these options be possible, and how do I implement them?
Minesh, thank you for your reply. (I will be exploring other solutions over this weekend, and didn't want my support thread to close.)
Your first example requires access to the html in order to apply a custom div. Because the taxonomies of Toolset are contained within [cred_field field='csi-division' force_type='taxonomy' output='bootstrap' display='checkbox'], this method will not work.
Your second example sent me to a competitor that offers what I am desiring to do via their form's settings. Unless you are telling me to request a refund from Toolset and purchase the competitor's product, I do not understand how this is useful.
As I would prefer the primary taxonomies to be dropdown multiple checkbox lists, the most obvious method is via Bootstrap using the .dropdown class. Once again, this requires additional divs in html that is generated by Toolset.
Which brings me full circle back to my original question: How can I make this taxonomy list formatted to be manageable?
Can you please send me problem URL where I can see the form you added as well as admin access details and let me review what possible solution I could offer you.
*** 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 have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
There is no way to build accordion or autosuggest select box which you shared.
All you can do it is either we can display the checkboxes in two columns or three columns (with three columns we will require to adjust the page content div's width as well).
