Extension: FieldFrame FieldType: Category Select
Development and Programming
We have developed a simple field type for Brandon Kelly’s FieldFrame extension. It requires FieldFrame and it can be used with FFMatrix.
Name: Category Select Version: 1.0.0 Compatibility: EE 1.6.8
Description: The extension enables you to define a custom weblog field of type selectbox. The options of the selectbox is populated from the selected category group(s). Right now the field type stores the category name as value so your custom field will output the selected category name as is.
Requirements: FieldFrame 1.3.5
Installation: Just unzip the package and move the file located in extension / fieldtype folder to your EE installation’s extension / fieldtype folder and move the file located in language folder to your EE installation’s language / English folder.
Then go to EE CP / Utilities / Extensions / Field Types and activate the extension.

This is exactly what I have needed.
Do you have plans for it to actually select these categories? Verse just making it a field? Right now it does not show categories all ready selected.
Also the ability to do a multi select would be nice.
Thanks, Mike
