Taxonomy Dropdown

    Hi!

    For my custom theme I’m trying to populate a dropdown menu in my meta box with my custom taxonomies.

    I’m using this code to get the custom taxonomies:

    $types = get_terms('portfolio-category');
    $types_array[0] = 'Select all';

    if ($types) {
    foreach($types as $type) {
    $types_array[$type->term_id] = $type->name;
    }
    }

    But then I’m getting this error in my WP-admin:
    Trying to get property of non-object

    Really, I don’t have any idea what I’m doing wrong??

    Thanks in advance!

    What if you try

    if ($types) {
 foreach($types as $type) {
  if ( $type ) {
   $types_array[$type->term_id] = $type->name;
  }
 }
}

    If you have PHP 4/5, try this

    if ($types) {
 foreach($types as $type) {
  if ( is_object( $type ) ) {
   $types_array[$type->term_id] = $type->name;
  }
 }
}

    The error disappeared, but the dropdown list is empty.
