Thanks to <a href="http://return-true.com/2008/12/using-wp_query-to-make-custom-queries-within-wordpress-templates/" rel="nofollow">http://return-true.com/2008/12/using-wp_query-to-make-custom-queries-within-wordpress-templates/</a> The solution is to have following little switches: <pre><code>$temp = $wp_query; $wp_query = null; $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query($args); $temp_posts = $posts; $posts = null; $posts = $wp_query->posts;</code></pre> you can then use any tags to filter or do whatever you want!! (check my previous posts, or answer this post if you want the complete code, i will paste it!) thanks god.

Solved one problem, another one came up! Again, driving me crazy. :) Now i can filter correctly the languages i want, but unfortunately, only one post is paginated! <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query</a> is explaining that Pagination Parameters showposts (int) - number of post to show per page. Deprecated as of Version 2.1 in favor of 'posts_per_page'. posts_per_page (int) - number of post to show per page (available with Version 2.1). Use 'posts_per_page'=>-1 to show all posts. Note if the query is in a feed, wordpress overwrites this parameter with the stored 'posts_per_rss' option. To reimpose the limit, try using the 'post_limits' filter, or filter 'pre_option_posts_per_rss' and return -1 Unfortunately this doesn't work. I am not able to override neither with post_limits nor with pre_option_blabla returned to -1. I also noticed that the form field is now not anymore editable via the wysiwig Gravity forms section in wp-admin. Which is not a big issue for me, I wouldnt need to edit anything anymore for this field from the wysiwig, if it worked. :) Any idea? my retrieval code looks like this at the moment: <pre><code>$args = array( 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'languages', 'post_limits' => -1, 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'deutsch' ) ) ); $posts = new WP_Query( $args );</code></pre> As said, correct filtering, but only one post title retrieved. any help super appreciated. regards, kubante kubante on "Dynamically populate checkboxes" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes#post-37682 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 05:30:14 +0000 kubante 37682@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi Chris, thanks for your answer. Yes it works. I am able to filter one post title only with the slug filtering. How can I now filter everything from one taxonomy only? or as in my case, even from one taxonomy entry (e.g. "german") ? I have a taxonomy called languages, filled with languages (German, English, etc). I would like to filter e.g. only "german titles". I had another few tries with the example underneath (Custom Post Type Category (Taxonomy) ), but no luck... All post titles come up unfiltered. This is driving me crazy ! :) <pre><code>$args=array( 'numberposts' => 8, 'orderby' => 'rand', 'post_type' => 'myCustomPostType', 'myCustomPostType_category' => 'Languages' , 'post_status' => 'publish' );</code></pre> any other ideas? Help totally appreciated!! :) Thanks ! kubante Chris Hajer on "Dynamically populate checkboxes" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes#post-37666 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:10:09 +0000 Chris Hajer 37666@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ @kubante, does this information help at all, using the $args array as you have it up there? Custom Post Type Category (Taxonomy) <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts#Custom_Post_Type_Category_.28Taxonomy.29" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts#Custom_Post_Type_Category_.28Taxonomy.29</a> kubante on "Dynamically populate checkboxes" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes#post-37643 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:51:53 +0000 kubante 37643@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi David, thanks for your Documentation Link. Blame on my I didn't have a look there first. After some tries, i could successfully dynamically populate my drop-down. I am struggling with the query of the posts though. After a few hours of tries I decided to come back to you, maybe you have an idea. I am using <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render" rel="nofollow">This</a> as reference, for populating my dropdown. So far so good, my titles from custom_posts show up. I am using post_type=myCustomPostType for this. I would now like to filter the titles, to only those of a certain taxonomy. For this I use the function get_posts like this: <pre><code>[php] $posts = get_posts('taxonomy=myTaxonomy&tag_ID=22&post_type=myCustomPostType');</code></pre> Unfortunately, this always queries all of the custom posts, and not only those in the taxonomy i would like. The filter doesn't apply. I also tried the variant with the building of the args array: <pre><code>$args = array( 'post_type' => 'myCustomPostType', 'tag_ID' => '22', 'post_status' => 'publish' );</code></pre> i even tried the 'suppress_filters' => false, argument, coz i had read about it in connection to the get_posts() function. In addition, i tried swapping get_posts() with query_posts(). Still no Luck . any ideas why my filters are not being applied?

I am trying to populate dropdowns with - for testing purposes - just the string "boom". i assigned the parameter language_populate to my drop down field (under "populate this dynamically"), and defined following function in my functions.php: <pre><code><?php add_action('gform_field_value_language_populate', 'get_language_populate'); function get_language_populate($value){ return 'boom!'; } ?></code></pre> though, I am experiencing the same problem as mobitinker: single lines of text get populated normally, but my drop-down field keeps the default values (first choice, second choice, etc) and is not getting populated. any ideas why this is happening? thanks ahead, regards, kubante charger15 on "Dynamically populate checkboxes" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes#post-33684 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 11:51:44 +0000 charger15 33684@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ @webpuzzlemaster: I was in a very similar situation and solved the problem like this. This code is placed inside index.php <pre><code>//Give every link an ID (in my case it was post ID as I show all posts on one site) and add it at the end of the url as query string $addLink = get_page_link(16)."?ref=".$post->ID; echo "<div class='add'><a href='$addLink'>A link to the form</a></div>";</code></pre> I then could get the parameter value on the site where the form was placed and use it to prepopulate certain fields with values from the post I was referring to in the link. For example (code inside functions.php): <pre><code>// populate category add_filter("gform_field_value_record_link_category", "usr_populate_record_link_category"); function usr_populate_record_link_category(){ $ref_id = $_GET['ref']; if(isset($ref_id)){ $post = get_the_category($ref_id); $category = $post[0]->cat_ID; return $category; } } // populate title add_filter("gform_field_value_record_link_title", "usr_populate_record_link_title"); function usr_populate_record_link_title(){ $ref_id = $_GET['ref']; if(isset($ref_id)){ $post = get_post($ref_id); $title = $post->post_title; return $title; } } // set parent post add_filter("gform_post_data", "usr_set_post_parent", 10, 2); function usr_set_post_parent($post_data, $form){ $ref_id = $_GET['ref']; if($form["id"] == 1){ $post_data["post_parent"] = "$ref_id"; } return $post_data; }</code></pre> Hope this helps. webpuzzlemaster on "Dynamically populate checkboxes" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes#post-31198 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 11:12:19 +0000 webpuzzlemaster 31198@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ a question related to this topic, i have a page with 4 links. lets say when the first link is click, it will be redirected to page where the form is, and 1 out of 4 checkbox should be selected.. now, if i click the 2nd link, it will be redirected to page where the form is, and 2 out of 4 checkbox should be selected.. and so on and so forth.. how can i do that?

In regards to your other questions: 1 - add_filter() is correct; add_action() will still interpret this as a filter and work appropriately, but it was just a typo in my code. 2 - We are very close to releasing the new documentation which has extensive coverage of all the available Gravity Form hooks (even the GF Add-ons!). Sorry for the wait, but just a little longer now. :)
