You can simply use the standard FORM generator and select it to store to the table. You can also use extensions to create drop-downs from the tl_taxonomy, or simply enter the values manually. You have to remember to store the pid=catalogID number

Thanks looks good.

but one thing :

i use efg (extended form generator) with tl_taxnomy.
In Taxonomy i got 2 terms and sub-terms

in efg i ve select tl_taxnomy.name i dont have any chance to select only 1 of my terms.
In fact this select is mixed of two terms.


How can I bulid select menu(db) whit single term from taxnomy ?

Another thing i hope this is my mistake not problem with tl.

What i've done:
use FORM to add items to catalog.

working but..
pictures upload to server
on tl panel when click catalog and refreshing see new items adding.
when i try to manage items them gone, and have clear page.
no new items on page

where i made mistake ?

remember I said you have to add a hidden FORM variable called pid and it must contain the value of your catalog ID. without this, the catalog manager, detects that items without a parent are illegal and then immediately deletes them. This is standard DB protection in TL, to prevent unknown parent items in the table.

Ok works fine now, thanks a lot.

Only the taxonomy and efg problem (eariler question in this topic).
Maybe this is connect, with efg module so should be moved by admin to efg module sub-forum.

best regards

Admin's can move replies to another forum, only topics (top levels). So you'll have to add a new topic to efg.
