There are a lot of hooks that need to be documented. We will be working towards doing this.</p> <p>If you want to read up on how to dynamically populate a drop down, here is a thread that touches on that subject that includes code snippets:</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down-value-different-than-content-text" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down-value-different-than-content-text</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hooks-filters-documentation-custom-field-update-concept#post-4012 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:29:28 +0000 Idealien 4012@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>When was the last time the documentation for GF had a thorough review? This post on <a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/new-hooks-and-fliters" rel="nofollow">hooks / filters in 1.3.9</a> mentions a new hook not covered in the expected <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/hooks-and-filters/" rel="nofollow">documentation on hooks and filters page</a>. It might save some questions in the forums if each documentation page had atleast a last updated on, accurate as of version X type of detail.</p> <p>My primary question is how one can pre-populate values into a drop-down or other type of field based on the contents of a custom field / post.</p> <p>Simple example: Classified Ads or Auction</p> <ul> <li>Category view displays all posts.</li> <li>Click on a post and custom post template (<a href="http://idealienstudios.com/projects/ice" rel="nofollow">Idealien Category Enhancements</a>)</li> <li>The template calls get_post_meta to pull (price, status, other custom fields, etc)</li> <li>User submits form with their new information</li> <li>Through a post-submission of form hook, the appropriate custom fields would be updated</li> </ul> <p>Yes? No? I'm Crazy? </p>
