Haven’t used this but here’s the default parameter settings from wp-includes/wp-categories.php
$defaults = array('show_option_all' => '',
'show_option_none' => '',
'orderby' => 'ID',
'order' => 'ASC',
'show_last_update' => 0,
'show_count' => 0,
'hide_empty' => 1,
'child_of' => 0,
'exclude' => '',
'echo' => 1,
'selected' => 0,
'hierarchical' => 0,
'name' => 'cat',
'class' => 'postform');
The old Template_Tags/dropdown_cats also has some explanations…
Looks like one could have a lot of typing to do, were one to have a lot of child and grandchild categories. Sounds like plugin time to me. 🙂
My thanks for your assistance.
More flesh on the bone now:
Template_Tags/wp_dropdown_categories
Would appreciate any better explanations of what the developers intended with ‘show_option_all’ and ‘show_option_none’.
