Post Page to have dropdown to filter category

We want to create a Post a topic button which will be present on all the pages across the community.
When a user navigates to Post page from any page other than board page, we now show a dropdown which lets user select which board the topic should be posted into using following custom URL

/t5/forums/postpage/choose-node/

 
Can we also let user first select category and then identify board under the selected category? basically showing 2 dropdowns, one for category & one for the board.

Any pointers are appreciated.

    Hi,

    Instead of using two separate dropdowns for selecting a category and then selecting a board from the category

    On category pages, you can update the custom URL as follows

     

    /t5/forums/postpage/category-id/[id of the current category]/choose-node/true

     

     

    Once the user is redirected to post page from a particular category they will only see the boards for that particular category. Hence no requirement for a user to select category again.

    Please give Kudos if you find my post useful and mark it as the Solution if this is the required solution.
