Dependent dropdown and chronological value show

Hi there and thank you for a good plugin

I have two questions:

1) How do I make a ‘dependent’ drop down?
I mean; when i have 2 drop downs, and the second one should not be ‘available’ — possible to click on’— before the 1st ones value has bin chosen?

2) I would like a chronological date value to be present in one of the drop downs. BUT; it should not be related to the ‘post_date’ or any other predefined date-values in the system, but to a value i chose to put in, that is; the date when i made the material i upload.
That can be many different dates, that is not default chronological, but i would like the system to ‘recognize’ the numbers and sort them chronological.

If you can help me out with that, i will be SO thankful.

Have a nice day and thank you again.

Hey Rene

1) This option is not available yet in the plugin, but I plan to add it..

2) You can do this in different ways:

a) You can create a custom taxonomy for your posts and create a dropdown in the search form for these – this plugin is great for adding taxonomies- http://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-taxonomy-manager/

b) You can create a custom field and add the dates to your posts, then you can use the “post meta” field in S&F to create a dropdown for these values – one of the best custom field creators is this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/

Hi again Ross

Thank you for answering and thank you for your guidance on no2.

Can you tell me; is there any simple workaround in WordPress for making a dependent drop down?
I just need it to show the relevant information from the first line of choice — so after the user has chosen a location, they will only be informed with information related to that choice and not for the rest of the world.

Sorry Rene, if it was an easy work around I would have already included this!
