[Resolved] Taxonomy to be displayed in view as dropdown

Hi guys, I currently have a taxonomy setup and bound to products, namely:

T-Shirt Colour

When adding these to the product single view, the only options are to separate via comma (or similar) and it always wraps each entry in an <a> tag. I need this information to feed a hidden form and was wondering what would be the best way to get the selected taxonomies to diplay in a dropdown select field?

So for example if the product has:

Black
Gold
Light Blue
Light Grey

Selected via the taxonomy, at the moment they print to screen comma separated and linked to archive (see attached). I would like these to instead display in a select dropdown without an <a> link.

Is this possible? And thanks so much....

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is not such feature to display the selected terms as a dropdown select.

But a possible workaround I can think of is you should try to create a taxonomy view and filter your view for your selected terms by adding a query filter from the "Query filter" section of your taxonomy view and within the "Loop Editor" section you should try to add your required form or set onchange method for your selectbox outside the view's loop and inside the view's view you should add the options.

For example - your taxonomy view Loop Editor should look like something as follows:

[wpv-layout-start]
    [wpv-items-found]
    <!-- wpv-loop-start -->
        <select name="tax-tshirt-colors" id="tax-tshirt-colors" onChange="window.location.href=this.value">
        <wpv-loop>
          <option value="[wpv-taxonomy-link]">[wpv-taxonomy-title]</option>
        </wpv-loop>
        </select>
    <!-- wpv-loop-end -->
    [/wpv-items-found]
    [wpv-no-items-found]
        <strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
    [/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]
