To return all posts in the category, make line 62 in your paste look like this:</p> <pre><code>[php] $posts = get_posts (&quot;numberposts=-1&amp;post_type=$post_type&quot;);</code></pre> <p>Change the -1 there to a specific number to get that number of posts returned. If you want 10 posts, change -1 to 10. If you want 17, change the -1 to 17.</p> <p>On line 50, yes, you enter the field in your form you want to be populated with this function.</p> <p>On line 51, the name of your custom post type is typically lowercase. If you look in the wp_posts table, the column "post_type" would have the values you can use. Can you look there to be sure you have the capitalization and spelling exact?</p> <p>It's a complex customization, but once you have it done, it will be very nice. Keep at it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-dropdown-list-post#post-38947 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 03:08:15 +0000 Andyunix 38947@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello Chris and thank you again for your support.<br /> Now I can not let you view the site because the customer has set his homepage Underconstruction: (<br /> This is my funcions.php <a href="http://pastebin.com/kyiZYWsZ" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/kyiZYWsZ</a><br /> What I do not understand in this portion of code is line 50 (in my code), I just enter the id field dropdown?<br /> Before asking the media again, I also tried the code in this post by Carl Hancock <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/automatically-populate-a-dropdown-with-post-titles" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/automatically-populate-a-dropdown-with-post-titles</a> # post-2646, and with this method i can see the first 5 post but does not filter by category: (uff! i admire your work and I hope to solve the problem!

You caught us on the weekend and we're back online now. </p> <p>Sounds like you want to pre-populate a drop down list with all the posts written by the user. This might help:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/pre-populate-dropdown-from-title-field-of-custom-post-type#post-19550" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/pre-populate-dropdown-from-title-field-of-custom-post-type#post-19550</a></p> <p>There is some code posted by David Smith to retrieve posts to populate a drop down. You will use the same process, but your loop will limit the posts to those written by the logged in user. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-dropdown-list-post#post-38744 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:52:37 +0000 Andyunix 38744@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>no one can help me please?<br /> Regards<br /> Andy </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-dropdown-list-post#post-38708 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 02:14:09 +0000 Andyunix 38708@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, I still have not found the solution, you can help me?<br /> regards<br /> Andy </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-dropdown-list-post#post-38680 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 10:54:37 +0000 Andyunix 38680@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Good evening and congratulations for the great plugin!<br /> Let me explain my need: in a normal form, can I insert a drop down menu that contains the list of all articles written by the user logged in? If this is not possible, you can add the list of posts equal to that for the categories? Thank you very much, I look forward to your response!<br /> thanks.<br /> Andy. </p>
