Event category as a dropdown rather than checkboxes

[Brian Reeves]

Is it currently possible to have the Event Category field display as a single choice drop down rather than a multiple choice checkbox list?

If you copy event-organiser-fes/templates/elements/eo-event-form-event-category.php to your theme and replace

eo_event_category_checklist(array(
    'name'          => $this->element->get_field_name( 'terms' ),
    'selected_cats' => $this->element->get_value( 'terms' ),
    'class'         => $this->element->get_class(),
    'exclude'       => $this->element->get( 'exclude' ),
));

with

wp_dropdown_categories(array(
    'taxonomy'        => 'event-category',
    'hierarchical'    => 1,
    'hide_empty'      => false,
    'show_option_none' => 'None',
    'name'             => $this->element->get_field_name( 'terms' ) . '[]',
    'selected'         => $this->element->get_value( 'terms' ),
    'class'            => $this->element->get_class(),
    'exclude'          => $this->element->get( 'exclude' ),
));

that should work.
