drupal - add select/option list to a form
Solution 1
I'm doing something similar in a custom form, and found it much easier to use taxonomy_get_tree, with the vocabulary code as the function's argument. See below:
//get the list of locations from taxonomy to use in the dropdown
$dropdown_source = taxonomy_get_tree(2);
$dropdown_array = array('0' => '--none--');
foreach ($dropdown_source as $item) {
$key = $item->tid;
$value = $item->name;
$dropdown_array[$key] = $value;
}
//location filter dropdown
$form['filterset']['locationfilter'] = array(
'#weight' => '1',
'#key_type' => 'associative',
'#multiple_toggle' => '1',
'#type' => 'select',
'#options' => $dropdown_array,
'#title' => 'Filter by location',
);
unset($dropdown_array);
Solution 2
I've written this helper function for my module ( drupal 7 ):
/**
* helper function to get taxonomy term options for select widget
* @arguments string $machine_name: taxonomy machine name
* @return array of select options for form
*/
function MYMODULE_get_tax_term_options($machine_name){
$options = array( '0' => '');
$vid = taxonomy_vocabulary_machine_name_load($machine_name)->vid;
$options_source = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
foreach($options_source as $item ) {
$key = $item->tid;
$value = $item->name;
$options[$key] = $value;
}
return $options;
}
Then you can call this function on your #options in your $form:
$form['field_name'] = array(
'#options' => MYMODULE_get_tax_term_options('taxonomy_machine_name'),
);
Solution 3
this is the drupal way - _taxonomy_term_select()
Solution 4
I think you can use the function: taxonomy_form
Here you have the doumentation: taxonomy_form
Solution 5
Here's how to do it in Drupal 7
// Populate FAPI select box from vocabulary term values.
// In this case term_reference field is field_category
$form = array();
$form['category_default'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => t('Default category'),
'#options' => taxonomy_allowed_values(field_info_field('field_category')),
'#description' => t('The selected category will be shown by default on listing pages.')
);
return $form;

I am a bit confused. I have created a simple form with a one text box and a submit button. Now I want to add a select/option dropdown box of taxonomy terms, using the taxonomy_get_vocabularies() function.
$vocabularies = taxonomy_get_vocabularies('my_type');
My question is how do I get vocabulary list onto form "the Drupal way". The way Drupal defines form seem quite rigid. Also how could I make this conditionl, say on existence of relevant taxonomy terms.
function my_form_name($form_state) { // A Short question. $form['title'] = array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('Question'), '#default_value' => $node->title, '#required' => TRUE, '#weight' => 1, '#description' => t('A text box goes here '), ); $form['submit'] = array( '#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('submit'), '#weight' => 7, ); return $form;
