Hello everyone!

 

Ive got a problem with adding a content from front end

First of all, i need to say that I have a lot of categories - 4 leading, then 50 US states for each of them, and even more cities inside of every state - content is supposed to be filled inside the cities.

The problem is when user wants to add an article from front end, he see A LOT of categories in a drop-down list.... Well, its possible to identify what is what (especially for me) but its extremely uncomfortable for the visitors.

Is there any way to solve this problem? Let's say, creating two lists with categories and subcategories? Or something else? I can explain again, if I was unclear. The screen is attached.

Thank you.

Please use anoverride to do this so you wont loose your changes on upgrade

Thank you, William.

I tried to do override, but I see no changes so far. What does it do, exactly?

I would love the possibility to create a separate drop-down list for each subcategory. Is it feasible? Or I'm asking for too much? :)

Sometimes overrides live in a little different directory structure in templates/html than they do in the regular core directories... pm me with info and i will take a look
