That was exactly my issue. My $field loop was incorrect, adding the type as "product" and the inputType as "select" fixed all the issues I was having.

I am glad that worked for you. Is your drop down a product field or a regular drop down field? The Total calculation should get called if you are using a product field. If you don't figure it out, send a link to your form and I will take a look. </p> peculiar on "paypal dynamic options" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-dynamic-options#post-23708 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:04:08 +0000 peculiar 23708@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Very cool... thank you! It worked, and all I had to do was use the "gform_paypal_query" filter to update the default query string.</p> <pre><code>add_filter('gform_paypal_query_5', 'update_paypal_query'); function update_paypal_query($query_string) { return $query_string; }</code></pre> <p>The js for the total field still does not update based on selection ( the js doesn't get called ), but I should hopefully be able to figure that out. </p> <p>Thanks again for the help </p> peculiar on "paypal dynamic options" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-dynamic-options#post-23706 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:39:00 +0000 peculiar 23706@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you very much, I do appreciate it. I will give it a try and let you know my results. </p> Alex Cancado on "paypal dynamic options" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-dynamic-options#post-23704 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:23:06 +0000 Alex Cancado 23704@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It looks like this is an oversight from my part. When determining the fields to be sent to PayPal, a fresh version of the form meta is used without getting run through the gform_pre_render filter. Your new choices are probably getting save as an entry, but the PayPal add-on thinks there aren't any products selected and bypasses the PayPal checkout.<br /> I will take a deeper look into this and see what I can do to fix it.<br /> Meanwhile, you can use the gform_paypal_query (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_paypal_query" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_paypal_query</a>) to manually add your drop down values to the PayPal query. You may need to add a dummy value to your drop down so that the PayPal checkout does not get bypassed. </p> peculiar on "paypal dynamic options" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-dynamic-options#post-23702 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:09:12 +0000 peculiar 23702@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There aren't any errors at all. If I override the dropdown (which works fine), it seems to ignore that the form is associated with paypal, and the form will submit like a normal form.</p> <p>Here is the function that I'm using....</p> <pre><code>add_filter('gform_pre_render_5', 'custom_event_tickets'); function custom_event_tickets($form_meta) { global $sp_ecp; $formId = $form_meta['id']; $options = sp_get_events('100'); //print_r_html ($form_meta); //Creating drop down item array. $items = array(); //Adding initial blank value. $items[] = array("text" => "Choose...", "value" => "Choose...", "isSelected" => "1", "price"=>'$0.00'); //Adding Available Events and prices to the items array foreach ( $options as $option ) { $cost = sp_get_cost($option->ID); if ($cost == "Free") $cost = "$0"; $items[] = array("value" => $option->post_title . '... ' .$cost, "text" => $option->post_title . '... ' .$cost, "isSelected" => "", "price" => $cost . ".00" ); } foreach($form_meta["fields"] as &$field) { if($field["id"] == 1) { $field["type"] = "select"; $field["choices"] = $items; } } //print_r_html ($form_meta); return $form_meta; }</code></pre> <p>my choices array looks like this before I make the change (this works fine):</p> <pre><code>[choices] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [text] =>First Choice [value] => First Choice [isSelected] => 1 [price] => $10.00 ) [1] => Array ( [text] => Second Choice [value] => Second Choice [isSelected] => [price] =>$12.00 ) [2] => Array ( [text] => Third Choice [value] => Third Choice [isSelected] => [price] => $15.00 ) )</code></pre> <p>I made sure that my dynamic array showed the same info, the same way, which looks like this:</p> <pre><code>[choices] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [text] => Choose... [value] => Choose... [isSelected] => 1 [price] => $0.00 ) [1] => Array ( [value] => Nathan Angelo... $10 [text] => Nathan Angelo... $10 [isSelected] => [price] => $10.00 ) [2] => Array ( [value] => Marvin & Leanda King... $0 [text] => Marvin & Leanda King... $0 [isSelected] => [price] => $0.00 ) [3] => Array ( [value] => Parachute Musical / Mike Mains... $10 [text] => Parachute Musical / Mike Mains... $10 [isSelected] => [price] => $10.00 )</code></pre> <p>I might easily be overlooking something.
