Glad you got it sorted. chrishill123 on "Populate drop-down list with usernames" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-list-with-usernames#post-95821 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:01:45 +0000 chrishill123 95821@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I AM STOOPID. After debugging I realised I missed the 's' of 'metas'. Thanks for the reply. Here is help for anyone else trying this. Here's an example of my fully working code to populate a dropdown box in Gravity forms with a list of user display names. Add this to functions.php <pre><code>// This adds display names for all users to a drop down box on a gravity form. add_filter("gform_pre_render", "populate_userdrop"); //Note: when changing drop down values, we also need to use the gform_admin_pre_render so that the right values are displayed when editing the entry. add_filter("gform_admin_pre_render", "populate_userdrop"); function populate_userdrop($form){ //only populating drop down for form id 1 - if editing this change to your own form ID if($form["id"] != 1) return $form; //Creating item array. $items = array(); // Get the custom field values stored in the array // If editing this lookup where you would like to get your data from // this example loads through all users of the website $metas = get_users(); if (is_array($metas)) { // in this example we just load the display_name for each user into our drop-down field foreach($metas as $meta) $items[] = array("value" => $meta->display_name, "text" => $meta->display_name); } //Adding items to field id 1. Replace 1 with your actual field id. You can get the field id by looking at the input name in the markup. foreach($form["fields"] as &$field) if($field["id"] == 1){ $field["choices"] = $items; } return $form; }</code></pre> David Peralty on "Populate drop-down list with usernames" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-list-with-usernames#post-95820 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:00:35 +0000 David Peralty 95820@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Wait, did you figure this out? On your form, I see a dropdown with user names in it. chrishill123 on "Populate drop-down list with usernames" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-list-with-usernames#post-95817 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:49:48 +0000 chrishill123 95817@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Here's the code I'm working on in functions.php <pre><code>function populate_userdrop($form){ //only populating drop down for form id 1 if($form["id"] != 1) return $form; //Creating item array. $items = array(); // Get the custom field values stored in the array $meta = get_users(); if (is_array($metas)) { foreach($metas as $meta) $items[] = array("value" => $meta->display_name, "text" => $meta->display_name); } //Adding items to field id 1.
