Is there any way to filter retrieved terms by a custom category?
Thanks in advance

Hi — thanks for a wonderful tutorial that is a solution I really need. Everything is working perfectly, except that the results page shows all of the taxonomy, not just the selected one. Oddly, the count for the taxonomy terms is correct.

I am using custom post type, but I was able to get the dropdown drawing from that type. It’s picking up the custom taxonomy that only appears in that custom post type, but displaying all results for the entire custom taxonomy.

Any ideas? I am so close.

Hi, I am using your code and find it very useful for what I needed.

I just got a little problem with it. I am using the dropdown for some “events” custom types, and i set a query to display only the event that are to come, with a custom type, like so:

&meta_value=' . $todaysDate . '&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC'); ?>


Now, is there a way to adapt your code so that it pulls "terms" only from those "events" with the custom field not older that the today's date?

Thanks in advance.

First congratulations for your website, its just amazing, you have all the best tutorials about wordpress 3.0.

Your code works like a charm, but what about multiple taxonomies dropdown? Like if you have one taxonomy named cinema and from there you shown the hierarchical taxonomies, like citys. Ex:

Cinema:
-New York
- Chicago

Theater
- New York
- Chicago

And then have: in one page and have:
in another page.

I tried to duplicating the jumpto.php file, changing the name and adding another line in the functions, just to see the error eh, and it gave me: Cannot redeclare dropdown_tag(), of course. So maybe there is a way to acomplish this, now iam exploring the source code of this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nktagcloud/.

Is it possible to change your code to have multiple taxonomies dropdowns?
