      Hi Steve

      I successfully created a taxonomy dropdown list for a CPT that’s employed on my widgets page as you can see in the attached.

      It lists the available taxonomies, but is there a way to have an “All categories” option in the list?

      You could store the choices as a variable, add “All Categories” with a value of -1, then use ksort:

      $choices = piklist(
      get_terms('category', array(
        'hide_empty' => false
      ))
      ,array(
        'term_id'
        ,'name'
      ));
$choices[-1] = 'All Categories';
ksort($choices);

      Then references $choices as the…choices

      Can you just clarify where the code you recommend should go. Here’s what I have:

      piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'select'
    ,'field' => 'category'
    ,'label' => 'Categories'
    ,'conditions' => array(
      array(
        'field' => 'gwfg_carousel_content_type'
        ,'value' => 'videos'
      )
    )
    ,'choices' => piklist(
      get_terms('gwfg_video_type', array(
        'hide_empty' => false
      ))
      ,array(
        'term_id'
        ,'name'
      )
    )
  ));

      Thanks.

      This should do it:

      $choices = piklist(
      get_terms('gwfg_video_type', array(
        'hide_empty' => false
      ))
      ,array(
        'term_id'
        ,'name'
      ));
$choices[-1] = 'All Categories';
ksort($choices);

piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'select'
    ,'field' => 'category'
    ,'label' => 'Categories'
    ,'conditions' => array(
      array(
        'field' => 'gwfg_carousel_content_type'
        ,'value' => 'videos'
      )
    )
    ,'choices' => $choices
  ));
