Webform taxonomy integration

By sisko on 19 Apr 2010 at 14:22 UTC

Hi guys,

does anyone know of a way to integrate my taxonomies into my webform select list ?

I have a number of taxonomies and their terms could be ubdated from time to time. So I just wondered if
my users could simply indicate from the webform select list which taxonomy term they are interested in.

Thanks for any help.

I'm still looking for a solution - I need it urgently too :-)

Incase you haven't found a solution yet ...

A couple of ways to deal with our common problem.

1) I initially thought I would use trusty jQuery to load all the relevant taxonomy terms via ajax.
The terms will come from a php script reading them from the database.
Then I would use jQuery to insert each option into the relevant drop down list - which I will setup to be empty.

But, when jquery is switched off on the users browser, it will fail as there will be nothing it the dropdown list

2)The second and better option is to use the markup type of webform.
I just found it uses input format including php if you set it up.
So, using php, read the terms from the database and write them as options into a self written dropdown list

I think that should work

tap into the webform api

tap into the webform api using something like this in a custom_module.module.

<?php

function mymodule_webform_select_options_info(){
  
  $items = array();

  $items['neighborhoods'] = array(
    'title' => t('Boroughs'),
    'options callback' => 'webform_borough_taxonomy',
  );

  return $items;
}

function webform_neighborhood_taxonomy(){
  $borough = taxonomy_get_tree(2);
  $items = array();
  foreach ($borough as $item){
    $items[] = $item->name;
  }
  return $items;
}
?>
