I'll post back when I get some progress to speak of. Have a great day. David Peralty on "Create a drop down with Post ids" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-a-drop-down-with-post-ids#post-104131 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:44:57 +0000 David Peralty 104131@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Here's what I would do step by step: - In your theme's functions.php file add one of our two hooks that I linked to above. The second one is specifically focused on helping with drop downs. The first one is pre_rendering the entire form. - Create a function that'll be related to that hook. Look at the examples in our documentation. - Using WordPress' SQL query function, grab the posts you want from the database. - Massage that data, grabbing the titles, and using the examples in our documentation and push it to the drop down. Does that help at all? kimtanasichuk on "Create a drop down with Post ids" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-a-drop-down-with-post-ids#post-104130 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:37:06 +0000 kimtanasichuk 104130@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ David, Thank you! I can handle php once I get a clear sense of what I need to do...having said that I've not been able to fully grok what you posted above...I know its a lot to ask, but is it possible to elaborate a little more? If not, no worries! Thanks so much!

On the Gravity Forms side, you'll be needing to use gform_pre_render or gform_column_input to load the drop down with choices. <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render</a> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_column_input" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_column_input</a> On the other side, you'll need to create a wp_query to pull the posts of the type that you want and then push the titles into the drop down. kimtanasichuk on "Create a drop down with Post ids" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-a-drop-down-with-post-ids#post-104121 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:58:44 +0000 kimtanasichuk 104121@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi David! Thanks for checking in. Here is what I would like to do. I've created a custom content type called "Planters" and each "Planter" contains a bunch of information about the plant growing in that planter. I have created a gravity form "Plant Vitals" that records some basic data about the plant in the planter ie., moisture, light, pH. What I would like, is a drop down list on the "Plant Vitals" form that lists all the available "plants" so I can attach a form entry to a particular plant. Then, on each "plant" post, I'd like to query and grab all the "plant vitals" entries for a particular plant and display links to the individual form entries. Does that give you enough to go on? Its still rough in my head, but ideally, I want my plant technician to open the form, select one of the plants, and record the data for that plant. thanks so much!

Post ID's are numbers. Do you want a list of Post Titles from your blog? kimtanasichuk on "Create a drop down with Post ids" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-a-drop-down-with-post-ids#post-104067 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 13:10:37 +0000 kimtanasichuk 104067@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi there, I would like to create a drop down box with post ids and then store the selected post id with the form submission. Is this possible?
