I was hoping you were around :)</p> <p>I actually don't have a preference as to where the list originates from, it could be an external text file or a built in array (there is no DB with the info). I have built an array similar to what I need in a static PHP form, but I can't for the life of me figure out how this fits together with GF. So I guess I need to ask...is one way better than another? If not, how would I go about using a text file?</p> <p>TIA<br /> Rat </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-populate-drop-down-using-a-list-or-an-array-gform_pre_render#post-117894 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:00:58 +0000 David Peralty 117894@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It all depends on where you are getting this list of suppliers. Is it in a database? In a text file? Just a stock list you have? In the end, if you feed the script you have an array of values and then loop through that array, you'll be able to accomplish the same result. All my best! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-populate-drop-down-using-a-list-or-an-array-gform_pre_render#post-117890 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:56:49 +0000 ratputin 117890@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>After going through the gform_pre_render tutorial a gazillion times, I have successfully implemented the tutorial code in a form. However, instead of auto populating the drop down with post titles, I would like to have it populate from an array/list of "Suppliers" (ex. Acme, Delco, Volvo). What would I replace in the attached script to accomplish this?</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/5658382" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/5658382</a></p> <p>TIA<br /> Rat </p>
