Support » Fixing WordPress » Remove specific categories from drop down menu in search

  • Hi,

    I am using the events search, though I am trying to customise the options on the drop-down for the categories. I was looking to exclude 4 out of the 6 categories currently on my site, so that you only have the option to select 2 categories, instead of 6.

    I have tried excluding the 4 categories I do not wish to show, with no luck.

    Code below

    <fieldset>
    		<div class="label">Sector</div>
    		<?php if( !empty($search_categories) || (get_option('dbem_search_form_categories') && empty($search_categories)) ): ?>
    		<!-- START Category Search -->
    		<select name="category" class="em-events-search-category">
    			<option value=''><?php echo get_option('dbem_search_form_categories_label') ?></option>
    			<?php foreach(EM_Categories::get(array('orderby'=>'category_name&exclude=11,12,13,14')) as $EM_Category): ?>
    			 <option value="<?php echo $EM_Category->id; ?>" <?php echo (!empty($_REQUEST['category']) && $_REQUEST['category'] == $EM_Category->id) ? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>><?php echo $EM_Category->name; ?></option>
    			<?php endforeach; ?>
    		</select> <a>/events/categories/" class="helpicon" title="Click here for more info on skill levels"></a>
    		<!-- END Category Search -->
    		<?php endif; ?>
    		</fieldset>

    code end

    I was also wondering if you could customise the search event form to add a list of events, instead of the default options available.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    To be more specific, my client requires the search function to have the following options for the events-search.php

    Sector – Public
    Private

    Event – (List of events, whether its public or private)

    Region – 4 regional options ie; Scotland Wales England N Ireland

    Could the events-search.php be tailored to customise to these requirments?

    Thanks
