Interesting interpretation of “long winded” you have there :p.

Appreciate any help!

Thanks for the code, Marion. Unfortunately, I was never able to get it working; most likely because I was indeed trying to set it up on a page.

But on the bright side, I’ve worked out a solution! It’s not perfect (ie, I had to manually add the page links, but it does the trick

If anyone wants to have a look, see http://intercontinentalcry.org/peoples/

I’d be happy to pass on the code if anyone wants it..

Thanks for the tutorial. It is helpful.

Now I need additional two things for my special case. Using a hierarchal custom taxonomy associated with a custom post type, I need:

(1) To change the admin meta-box to a drop-down menu to make sure the post has only one term associated. The drop-down menu should show just the latest children terms, so let us say, for example, I have those terms:
Zone X
–> Package X (Zone X’s child)
—-> District X (District X’s child)
Zone Y
–> Package Y (Zone Y’s child)
—-> District Y (District Y’s child)
I want the drop-down to show only the latest children: District X and District Y.

(2) To automatically select all parents of a selected child term when saving the post. So, let us say the user chose District Y in my previous example, then both Package Y and Zone Y should be selected as well, behind the scenes.

Could you help me with that please, or point me out to any helpful reference?
Thanks in advanced,

Here’s the code http://pastebin.com/jEQ5v4qh, you can just define the css to fit your site…
