Can you please paste all the code you are using to populate your drop down, at pastebin.com or pastie.org, so we can see about debugging it? ddg on "Allow fields to be dynamically populated - Agentpress 2.0" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-fields-to-be-dynamically-populated-agentpress-20#post-93674 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:20:48 +0000 ddg 93674@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ OK I am much closer but still not successful... - I am filtering all other forms <pre><code>if($form["id"] != 2) return $form;</code></pre> - I have specified the post type as listing: <pre><code>$posts = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'listing' ) );</code></pre> - The code is placed in the function.php file at the root of the theme - A form with an id of 2 is placed in the listing and has 3 dummy options. Does the form need to be empty? Not sure why this isn't working? Any help? Thanks Chris Hajer on "Allow fields to be dynamically populated - Agentpress 2.0" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-fields-to-be-dynamically-populated-agentpress-20#post-93252 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:59:19 +0000 Chris Hajer 93252@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Instead of posts in a specific category, you would use posts of a certain post type, without the category. In the first example on the gform_pre_render page, for line 14: <pre><code>[php] $posts = get_posts("category=" . get_cat_ID("Business"));</code></pre> You would use this instead <pre><code>[php] $posts = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'houses' ) );</code></pre> (Replace 'houses' with whatever the actual name of the custom post type is. If you used 'post' there, you would get posts from all categories.) Full documentation for the WordPress function get_posts can be found here: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_posts" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_posts</a> ddg on "Allow fields to be dynamically populated - Agentpress 2.0" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-fields-to-be-dynamically-populated-agentpress-20#post-93179 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 20:07:55 +0000 ddg 93179@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks Chris. This is helpful. I see in the first example that populates a drop down they use the business category. I am not sure if you or anyone else is familiar with agentpress 2.0 but it is a real estate template that has (i am guessing) a custom data type called listings that doesn't fall into any categories... I am not able to assign a category to listings. Any idea how I would specify that I want to list the listings rather than a category..? Any documentation in the right direction or schooling you may want to bless me with is greatly appreciated. I am not familiar with these hooks and how to utilize them.

Though, with some custom PHP, this can be accomplished.

I notice that in the demo there is a form that asks the user which property they are inquiring about. Can I populate that list dynamically with all the listings in the site so not have my client manually populate it? This is the reason I bought G Forms... Otherwise I could have done the forms with a free module. Hope this is possible. Can this be done?
