      I need to create select with choices of posts, pages, etc

      I know such code

      ,'choices' => piklist(
              get_posts(
                 array(
                  'post_type' => 'post'
                  ,'orderby' => 'post_date'
                 )
                 ,'objects'
               )
               ,array(
                 'ID'
                 ,'post_title'
               )
            )

      It’s working. But one small problem. First selected by default choice is a first page\post. I need empty first choice or maybe something with value = “empty”, name = “Choose your page”

      How to do this?

      @igor– Welcome to the Piklist community!

      The code you’re using to create the choices just takes the data from get_posts() and formats it correctly for Piklist, so it looks like this:

      ,'choices' => array(
 'key' => 'value'
 ,'key'=> 'value'
 ,'key' => 'value'
)

      To add some instructions as the first choice you can us the standard PHP Union operator, a plus sign +. So your new choices parameter would look like this:

      ,'choices' => array('none' => 'Choose your page') + piklist(
              get_posts(
                 array(
                  'post_type' => 'post'
                  ,'orderby' => 'post_date'
                 )
                 ,'objects'
               )
               ,array(
                 'ID'
                 ,'post_title'
               )
            )

      Let us know if you need any more help.

      @Steve,

      I’m trying this as well to add instructions as the first in select menu. What am I doing wrong that I get this error?

      @countryipblocks–

      You only need to use the Piklist function if you are going to parse an array of data. Since you are manually creating the choiçes array (list), you can just including it in the array:

      ,'choices' => array(
  'none' => 'Choose your country'
  ,'ai' => 'Anguilla'
  ,'ag' => 'Antigua and Barbuda'

      Does that make sense?

      Added review on wordpress.

      Next question on answer.

      In many others frameworks I see select 2 js script in select inputs. This is very usefull when you have many items. For example, if I have 200 posts, it’s very hard to use simple select.

      Is it possible to add this script to selects on page? I see that piklist has some filters, but don’t see how to add scripts on page with piklist

        Hi igor!

        Rather than changing subject in a topic, I suggest making a new topic to help make your question easy for others to find in the future. 🙂

        But you can do this easily! I do it all the time! What you’re going to want to do is enqueue the Select2 script into the admin side only. Everything on how to do that can be found here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_enqueue_scripts

        And you can use a CDN url for Select2 instead of downloading the script and adding it to your theme/plugin.

        Hope this helps! 🙂
