Just one more question.

How can I choose which parent categorie for the field ?
Now the parent categorie is ROOT so in the field there are all categorie of my website, and I'd like only all sub-categories of mycategorie.
I didn't test already this field with the advanced search ... but I will.

Thank you (again) for your work !

You can do it like this:

Code:

SELECT id as value, CONCAT(REPEAT('-',level),' ',title) as text FROM `#__categories` WHERE level>0 AND extension='com_content' AND id > (SELECT lft FROM `#__categories` WHERE id=555) AND id < (SELECT rgt FROM `#__categories` WHERE id=555) ORDER BY lft

in the above query replace 555 with the id of your top level 'mycategorie'
