use a section/category select list in a custom pref
Hi, I’m setting custom prefs for a Txp theme and I would like to know if there is a function I could use to display a section or a link category select list instead of simple inputs… Something like gmtoffset_select which is used to list gmt areas but to list sections or categories. Thx!

Thanks, it looks interesting. I’ll see how hard is it to do and decide to work on it or keep text inputs… In fact I was wondering if there would be a way to use existing functions like section_select_list, but I’m maybe to lazy. :)

Re: use a section/category select list in a custom pref
I can display a section select list for a custom pref by adding this function…
function section_select_list($name, $val)
{
$sections = safe_rows("name, title", 'txp_section', "name != 'default' ORDER BY title, name");
$vals = array();
foreach ($sections as $row) {
$vals[$row['name']] = $row['title'];
}
return selectInput($name, $vals, $val, '', '', $name);
}…to txp.prefs.php and adding section_select_list as html pref type, but how could I include this kind of function in a plugin instead of txp.prefs.php to make it possible to access it in the same way?
Edit: That was what I needed: register_callback('section_select_list', 'prefs', 'advanced_prefs');; a callback… One more useful thing learnt.

Re: use a section/category select list in a custom pref
So… Now I’m looking for a way to use treeSelectInput instead of selectInput for categories.
I’m not sure how to do it from the following code; each time I tried I got errors:
function category_select_list($name, $val)
{
$categories = safe_rows("name, title", 'txp_category', "type like 'link'");
$vals = array();
foreach ($categories as $row) {
$vals[$row['name']] = $row['title'];
}
return SelectInput($name, $vals, $val, 'true', '', $name);
}Any help welcome.
Edit: Solved; here it is…
function category_select_list($name, $val) {
$rs = getTree('root', 'link');
return treeSelectInput($name, $rs, $val, 35);
