I’m relatively new to EE1.x and find myself needing to generate a <select> dropdown.
I wanted to know if it’s possible and how it’s possible to do so.

Under Admin > Section Administration >> Custom Section Fields >> Field Group >>> Field (dropdown)

the field’s name is locations. It contains dropdown info such as California, Utah, Washington etc…

is there a way to do something like

{exp:field_groups:custom_fields field_name="locations"}
<option>{location}</option>
{/exp:field_groups:custom_fields}

The idea is to avoid using the ee->$db->query();

Thanks for the help!

I just answered your same question here in this post.

There is no way around using a query to get what you want though, be it using the query tag or some PHP or a plugin as there is no built in method of doing so.

Best wishes,

As a note your other post is in the wrong place if you are using 1.x as you have posted it in the 2.x forums.
