I tried to make use of the gform_pre_render but I'm not really good at it. The result I got was a drop down list with only 1 item ie Company A, Company B, Company C, Others instead of it being 4 items in the list. Please help. (Source code below) <pre><code>function populate_dropdown($form){ $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("asm", $con); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM <code>wp_cimy_uef_fields</code> WHERE ID = '1'"); $label = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $company = array(); $company = $label[LABEL]; $items = array(); $items[] = array("text" => "", "value" => ""); $items[] = array("text" => $company, "value" => $company); foreach($form["fields"] as &$field) if($field["id"] == 18){ $field["choices"] = $items; } return $form;</code></pre> David Peralty on "Dynamically Populating a Custom Field Drop Down" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-a-custom-field-drop-down#post-74649 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:37:09 +0000 David Peralty 74649@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi marcusk, you'll be wanting to look at gform_pre_render: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render</a> marcusk on "Dynamically Populating a Custom Field Drop Down" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-a-custom-field-drop-down#post-74599 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 05:11:18 +0000 marcusk 74599@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi, I have extended user registration fields using Cimmy User Extra Fields plugin and added a dropdown box of a list of companies. What I need to do is to insert the same field into a GF form by pre populating the data from the wp_cimy_uef_fields MySQL table where Cimmy plugin has stored the information. Been searching forum and documentation but can't seem to find a solution. Is this possible and how do I go about doing it if yes.
