Reply To: Many categories & max_execution_time problems

@

So the front end works fine with you custom code. That’s good. Where does it break in the admin? I image the Connections : Manage page is fine because that is pagination. I could see the Connections : Categories page being problematic with so many categories. I’m think the Add / Entry page should be alright, especially if your front end code is fine.

There is a method you can call to create a category select:

cnTemplatePart::category( array(
    'default' => 'Select...',
    'type' => 'select',
    'group' => TRUE,
    'parent_id' => $category_state_ID
));

However, I don’t think it work with you chained select. I’d have to tweak the code in order to support that better.
