Hello Community,
I am stuggle with an problem:
I build a huge website with currenty 10000 categories.
I have to render only the sprecial subcategories from a parent catid in a list and seach type.
My try was to build a select dynamic with this free query:
SELECT CONCAT( REPEAT('-', (category.level)-1), category.title) AS text, category.id AS value
FROM #__categories AS category
LEFT JOIN #__categories AS parent
ON category.lft BETWEEN parent.lft AND parent.rgt
WHERE parent.id = 225 ORDER BY category.lft
what points on catid like the normal category field.
The problem is, that I have do define the special parent category id in a overwrite in the menu item.
So the number 225 in the dynamic field must be the field, who is to overwrite in the menu item.
What I have to do. Can you help me.
Thanx.

Select dynamic doe not support that - one thing you could use is select dynamic cascade, you can put first cascade with parent to hidden place and then get this value in second cascade
Hello Klas,
thanx for your help.
Can I use variables like [parent_id] in a free seach of a select field. I need the live value of the field, perhaps [live_value].
So I can make a query like that:
SELECT CONCAT( REPEAT('-', (category.level)-1), category.title) AS text, category.id AS value
FROM #__categories AS category
LEFT JOIN #__categories AS parent
ON category.lft BETWEEN parent.lft AND parent.rgt
WHERE parent.id = [live_value] ORDER BY category.lft
Thank you for an answere.
