Are you asking for a listbox, where you can select a category?

you can do that with hard-coded inputOptionValues or use @EVAL or @CHUNK - binding to get the inputOptions.

{"field":"category","caption":"Category","inputTV":"yourListboxTV"}

or as inputTVtype

{"field":"category","caption":"Category","inputTVtype":"listbox","inputOptionValues":"categoryA||categoryB||categoryC"}

or with @CHUNK-binding

{"field":"category","caption":"Category","inputTVtype":"listbox","inputOptionValues":"@CHUNK getInputOptions"}

the content of chunk getInputOptions can be everything, which produces a doublepipe-delimited output of categories, even a snippet:

[[getCategoriesAsInputOptions]]

-------------------------------

you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

Bruno Thanks for reply.

I need @CHUNK-binding. I have another migx to create categories. But I am bit confused how to gets value in doublepipe in a chunk

Right now Its gives me value at front end


[[!getImageList?
    &tvname=`repeatable-portfolio-category-tv`
    &tpl=`@CODE:[[+cat]] ||
  `]]

Kindly check screenshot I am not getting desire output. [ed. note: naumanahmed19 last edited this post 12 years, 5 months ago.]

try this:

[[getImageList?
    &tvname=`repeatable-portfolio-category-tv`
    &tpl=`@CODE:[[+cat]]`
    &docid=`theIDOfTheDocumentWhereYouHaveSetupTheCategoryTV`
    &outputSeparator=`||`
]]
