Fields of interests module?
Hello,
I am making a site and one of the things I must implement there is fields of interest of the users.
The interests are grouped in tree-like manner. For example: Food->Russian->Potatoes, Food->English->Cakes, Drinks->Irish->Whiskey, etc.
Since I have a good and extensive predefined list of interests, I want people to choose from the list. I need help to implement it, and the scheme I thought of is as following:
There are three listboxes. The first one contains the list of main categories. When one of the categories clicked, the second listbox is populated with the appropriate sub-categories. When one chooses from one of the sub-categories, the third listbox is populated with the sub-sub-categories. Then a user clicks on it, clicks 'Add' button and voila. You can see something like this on http://www.dialog.co.il/jobfinder/.
As far as I understand, the best way to do it is to create nested taxonomies. Am I doomed to write a module in order to implement the process as I see it? I don't have Drupal module development experience. If there is no 'out of the box' solution, how complex the module code-wise will be?
And more
Now when I think of it, I would like to add the same process to articles people post on my site. I am lost. Suppose I have the module ready - can I integrate it in the process of posting articles?
Nobody?
Nobody?
yep, you're doomed :)
You could probably just use the profile module, then modify your page template file to include a .js file with some jQuery that does what you want. (maybe there is a better way to add javascript. might even be a module that adds javascript only to certain pages)
