content types| fields | hide or show fields according to list chosen

By bigbaykiter on 17 Jan 2008 at 20:03 UTC

In the 'Content type creation' How do I make only certain fields appear according to previous fields selected

eg
a list with 'boy' or 'girl '

if 'boy' is selected, then a drop down appears with :
facial hair
moustache
beard
cap

else if a 'girl' is selected a different drop down appears with:
lipstick
makeup
nail varnish

the point I am trying to make is display certain fields that can be selected depending on previous fields being selected

Check out Heirarchical Select I think it does exactly what your looking for.

that looks perfect,

but is there anything else so that I don't have to install the 'Jquery update' and the 'Jquery interface'

FixedDataDropdown looks interesting but not as nice ... that jquery update and interface really make the Heirarchical Select much cleaner/dynamic.
