Need help on Drop down Menu for Brand filter

[jdrom]

After trying two different brand filters that you have posted, I've decided that this is the one I want to use on my site. Because it is already reversible, all I need now is to place it in a drop down menu. The problem is, the forum instructions are clear until step 5.

I haven't the slightest clue what you are talking about; specifically where do I place this PHP code? I am not a programmer; I don't know this stuff.... all I know is copy paste... you can't assume that I know.


<ul>
<?php if (@$_GET['word']) { ?>

<li><a href="[server.url type='fullpage' query='-word']">[X] Remove brand filter</a></li>

<?php } else { ?>

<li><a href="[server.url type='fullpage' query='word=AOC Breeze']">AOC Breeze</a></li>
<li><a href="[server.url type='fullpage' query='word=Augen']">Augen</a></li>

<?php } ?>
</ul>


Steps

1) Create a new Custom View named "Unordered Category List". Check the 'don't use layout' checkbox.

2) Add a Category List module to the module area.

2) Add the following code to the Category List module:


Code:
[category.list id='dfparent' before='<ul id="nav">' after='</ul>']
<li>
<a href="[category.link]" title="[category.name]">[category.name]</a>
[category.list id='dfchild' before='<ul>' after='</ul>']
<li>
<a href="[category.link]" title="[category.name]">[category.name]</a>
[category.repeat id='dfchild']
</li>
[/category.list]
</li>
[/category.list]

4) Update your store

5) Place the following code where you need your unordered list of categories to appear:

PHP Code:

<?php
$cats = str_replace(array("<div>","</div>"), array("",""), datafeedr_tag("Unordered Category List"));
echo $cats;
?>

Hi

Did you add the code to a Widget View in the Factory? If so, after you update your store by clicking the [Update Settings Only] button, then you can go to Wordpress Admin Area > Appearance > Widgets and add the Brand Filter to your sidebar.

I am trying to create a drop down menu for one of my custom widget filter views I created and I have completed steps 1 - 4 of your instructions on how to create a drop down menu. But like the previous post's question I do not understand where you are suppose to add/place or insert the PHP code in step 5) of the drop down menu instructions?

Where do you place this PHP code:

<?php
$cats = str_replace(array("<div>","</div>"), array("",""), datafeedr_tag("Unordered Category List"));
echo $cats;
?>

Do you mean place it in one of the widget filter views? In the widgets properties? In the wordpress template? In a post or a page in wordpress?

Thank you.

That code is for using in your WP template files.

I think this code might be better for you: http://www.datafeedr.com/forums/show...0421#post20421 That will create a drop down brand filter.
