Reply To: Limiting categories on forms

@ Andrew

Short answer…

Well, it is possible, but there’s no out of the box settings that can be applied to configure this.

Longer answer…

This site, http://sscit.org/, I was commissioned to alter the way the categories are presented to allow a multi-category search. Basically it is three top level categories being shown with only their children.

The page with Form (it’s locked behind a membership login) on it has a similar modification. The three top level categories each have their own metabox. The one, limit the number of categories a user is permitted to select and when they reach that number, they are unable to select any more.

All this was custom coded for them as extensions to Connections.

Hope that helps!
