I have a post outlining these features here : <a href="http://themergency.com/gravity-forms-custom-post-types-v4-beta-testers-wanted/" rel="nofollow">http://themergency.com/gravity-forms-custom-post-types-v4-beta-testers-wanted/</a> It is still in beta and I need some testers to test it out, so please lend a hand thanks Brad cabaj on "Populate Dropdown with Parent Taxonomy Only." https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-dropdown-with-parent-taxonomy-only#post-56448 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:54:34 +0000 cabaj 56448@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Trying to do the same thing as Bowlsy acsnaterse on "Populate Dropdown with Parent Taxonomy Only." https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-dropdown-with-parent-taxonomy-only#post-50146 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:57:24 +0000 acsnaterse 50146@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Is is possible that the "isSelected" property doesn't work anymore? I have exactly the same code, it generates my list perfectly, but it doesn't preselect the right option anymore. However when I "dump" the $items array, I see that the value is in there. Any ideas? cameron.crest on "Populate Dropdown with Parent Taxonomy Only." https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-dropdown-with-parent-taxonomy-only#post-43586 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:18:49 +0000 cameron.crest 43586@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Have a client who needs this exact fuctionality with taxonomies. Were you ever actually able to get your code to work? :) bowlsy on "Populate Dropdown with Parent Taxonomy Only." https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-dropdown-with-parent-taxonomy-only#post-38039 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 22:37:29 +0000 bowlsy 38039@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Have a situation where users will need to select A Goods Sub-Type from a Parent Goods Type. Whilst I can use this plugin to display the hierarchy in one dropdown: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/</a> The list of goods sub types listed under goods types is very long and really should be displayed with 2 cascading dropdowns. Trying to implement a work around by creating a dropdown that filters just the parent taxonomy terms. Then when a user has selected a parent, one of several hidden child dropdowns will display allowing selection of the goods subtype. Managed to get the following code to return the Child Values of a Taxonomy Term in a dropdown:- <pre><code>//Adds a filter to form id 1. Replace 1 with your actual form id - CHILD TERMS FOR TRUCKS add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_1', 'populate_dropdown' ); function populate_dropdown($form){ //Grab all Terms Associated with a Specific Taxonomy; global $post; $termID = 4; $taxonomyName = "goodscategories"; $termchildren = get_term_children( $termID, $taxonomyName ); //Creating drop down item array. $items = array(); //Adding initial blank value. $items[] = array("text" => "", "value" => ""); //Adding term names to the items array //foreach($terms as $term){ foreach ($termchildren as $child) { $term = get_term_by( 'id', $child, $taxonomyName ); $is_selected = $term ->name == "testing" ? true : false; $items[] = array("value" => $term ->name, "text" => $term ->name, "isSelected"=> $is_selected); } //Adding items to field id 9. Replace 9 with your actual field id. You can get the field id by looking at the input name in the markup. foreach($form["fields"] as &$field) if($field["id"] == 9){ $field["type"] = "select"; $field["choices"] = $items; } return $form; }</code></pre> Tried this code for parent dropdown, but returns no values in the dropdown:- <pre><code>/Adds a filter to form id 1. Replace 1 with your actual form id - PARENT TERMS ONLY add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_1', 'populate_dropdown_parents' ); function populate_dropdown_parents($form){ //Grab all Terms Associated with a Specific Taxonomy; global $post; $terms = get_terms("goodscategories", 'parent=0'); //Creating drop down item array. $items = array(); //Adding initial blank value. $items[] = array("text" => "", "value" => ""); //Adding term names to the items array foreach($terms as $term){ $is_selected = $term->name == "testing" ? true : false; $items[] = array("value" => $term->name, "text" => $term->name, "isSelected"=> $is_selected); } //Adding items to field id 10. Replace 10 with your actual field id. You can get the field id by looking at the input name in the markup. foreach($form["fields"] as &$field) if($field["id"] == 10){ $field["type"] = "select"; $field["choices"] = $items; } return $form; }</code></pre> Any help would be greatly welcome.
