Hi,

I created a Joomla category with multiple subcategories under Category Manger. Is it possible to auto-populate a Community Builder field (using the Drop Down Single select) with the Joomla Category field?

I have searched the forums and could not find a How-To solution with the extensions available. It seems like the Conditionals extensions would be able to do this.

I am currently have the following installed:

Joomla 3.0.3
Community Builder 1.9
CB Conditional 3.0.2
CB Query Field
CB Auto Actions 3.5.2


Thanks,
Jim

No, we have no such fieldtype plugin.

No, it shows/hides fields/tabs based off conditions supplied. It will not populate a field with values.

Joomla categories should be relatively static though. So simply creating a select fieldtype then manually populating it with your categories should work fine unless you intend to add new categories daily.
