How to give style to a taxonomy dropdown with parents & childs? WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi all, I need to give style to a taxonomy dropdown (post-type based). It has the location information of the post (state and city) organized in parents and childs. I prefer to give it a css style, but also I can give only a bold in the parent.

<strong>State 1</strong>
<em>- City 1
- City 2</em>
<strong>State 2</strong>
<em>- City 1
- City 2</em>

This is the <strong>dropdown</strong> code:

<form action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" method="get">
<?php
$taxonomies = array('reg');
$args = array('orderby'=>'term_group','hide_empty'=>true);
$select = get_terms_dropdown($taxonomies, $args);

$select = preg_replace("#<select([^>]*)>#", "<select$1 onchange='return this.form.submit()'>", $select);
echo $select;
?>
</form>


And this is the code in the <strong>function.php</strong> file:

function get_terms_dropdown($taxonomies, $args){
$myterms = get_terms($taxonomies, $args);
$output ="<select name='reg' class='dropCity'>";
$output .="<option value='#'>Seleccionar...</option>";
foreach($myterms as $term){
$root_url = get_bloginfo('url');
$term_taxonomy=$term->taxonomy;
$term_slug=$term->slug;
$term_name =$term->name;
$link = $term_slug;
$output .="<option value='".$link."'>".$term_name."</option>";
}
$output .="</select>";
return $output;
}


Thanks!

Hola No Mind,

Please try this code:

function get_terms_dropdown($taxonomies, $args){
$myterms = get_terms($taxonomies, $args);
$output ="<select name='reg' class='dropCity'>";
$output .="<option value='#'>Seleccionar...</option>";
foreach($myterms as $term){
$term_slug=$term->slug;
$term_name =$term->name;
$link = $term_slug;
if ( 0 == $term->parent ) {
$class = 'parent';
} else {
$class = 'child';
}
$output .="<option value='".$link."' class='".$class."'>".$term_name."</option>";
}
$output .="</select>";
return $output;
}


Add this to your syle.css file

.parent { font-weight: bold; }

Hi Jatin,

Thanks for your reply.

I canĀ“t see the style in the dropdown items. And they have lost their links to the taxonomy page.

Thanks!

in functions.php , change your function as
function get_terms_dropdown($taxonomies, $args){

$myterms = get_terms($taxonomies, $args);

$output ="<select name='reg' class='dropCity'>";

$output .="<option value='#'>Seleccionar...</option>";

foreach($myterms as $term){

$term_slug=$term->slug;

$term_name =$term->name;

$link = $term_slug;

if ( $term->parent != 0 ) {

$output .="<option value='".$link."' style='font-style:italic'>-".$term_name."</option>";

} else {

$output .="<option value='".$link."' style='font-weight:bold;font-style:normal'>".$term_name."</option>";

}


}

$output .="</select>";

return $output;

}
