    Im not asking for a solution, I just want some thought on what could have gone wrong.

    I bought a Car Dealer theme form Gorila Themes.com and that theme has a feature to ‘Add a vehicle’ so when you click on it you can select your car’s model, year etc etc and submit. and Year is a drop down created from theme’s meta php file that looks like this.

    “year” => array(
    “name” => “year”,
    “title” => $options[‘yeartext’],
    “description” => “Enter vehicle year.”,
    “type” => “dropdown”,
    “class” => “dropdown”,
    “rows” => “”,
    “hide_in_search” => $options[‘yearhide’],
    “width” => “”,
    “options” => generate_years( $options[‘yearstart’], $options[‘yearend’] ),
    ),

    What I did is, I added a extra field in the same page for “Body Type” and it worked fine. My code was,

    “bodystyle” => array(
    “name” => “bodystyle”,
    “title” => “Body Style”,
    “description” => “Enter body style.”,
    “type” => “text”,
    “class” => “dropdown”,
    “rows” => “”,
    “width” => “”,
    “hide_in_search” => ‘Yes’,
    “options” => “”
    ),
    But now all of a sudden, the Year drop down field is gone. So I reverted back all my changes and tested again and again but the drop down doesn’t come back. I just want to know whether these drop downs are stored in the database or how could it be gone like that?? Thanks a lot.

  • Something must still be messed up because you say at first you made the changes and everything worked fine and then all of a sudden they stopped working.

    What was changed between the time it was working and when it stopped working?

    Hi, well I modified some files. But after this admin dropdown stopped working I deleted everything and uploaded the very Original set of theme files, but it still doesnt show up. Is there a limit for dropdowns in admin or a cache issue or something?

    Hard to say what happened exactly. Were you modifying the theme while it was active? You have the original theme and its code currently active on the site and it isn’t displaying correctly?

    Do you have a sample URL that should be showing the year dropdown?

    I modified the theme on my test server and its workign fine, then I moved it to the real server and it working working fine for about a day, and now the drop down doesnt show up even in the source code. and when I save my Car informatoin, it gets saved without the Year data.

    Thanks. It was a bug in the theme and I got the developer to fix it.
