Join 5 blocks in one.

By rubensans on 7 Jun 2008 at 19:03 UTC

Hello,

I have 5 block with the next code that give me 5 dropdown menus.

Anyone knows how I can joint them to put them on a only block that shows me the 5 dropdown menus?

Thanks.

Block 1:

$output = drupal_get_form('Coches_dropdown_form', $form);
return $output;

function Coches_dropdown_form() {
    $vid=5;
    $formname="Coches - TodoTerrenos";
   
    $vocabulary = db_query("SELECT td.name, td.tid FROM {term_data} td WHERE td.vid=%d ORDER BY td.name", $vid);
    // Initialise the country array
    $options[] = t('' . $formname);
    //Populate array with url / name
    while ($term = db_fetch_object($vocabulary)) {
$options[url("taxonomy/term/$term->tid")] = $term->name;
    }
    //Build dropdown select
    //If we try to build OnChange directly it gets mangled, so put in array to confuse the forms api
    $form['category'] = array(
      '#type' => 'select',
      '#name' => $formname,
      '#id' => $formname,
      '#title' => '',
      '#default_value' => '',
      '#options' => $options,
      '#description' => '',
      '#multiple' => $multiple = FALSE,
      '#required' => $required = FALSE,
      '#attributes' => array('onChange' => "top.location.href=document.getElementById('$formname').options[document.getElementById('$formname').selectedIndex].value"),
    );
        return $form;
}

Block2:

Why not just build one form

Why not just build one form with all the drop downs?

That's the idea but don't

rubensans commented 7 June 2008 at 22:28

That's the idea but don't know how to do that :-(

So in a single function add

nevets commented 7 June 2008 at 22:58

So in a single function add all the code, one piece after another. The only two things you should need to change are

    $form['category'] = array(

so that each of the five drop downs have different names (for example, cartegory1, category2, etc) and remove all but the last return $form (You only want the one return at the end of the function). You will also want only one #form and #id value (you should not need to actually assign these, if you do make sure the #id is a valid css id (your current one is not)).

Thanks for the reply, but
