And that query being all the posts in the store directory category. </p> <p>As long as that is what I need to do to… Then I can hire someone to do that. As it seems a little over my coding ability. I just didn't want to send him down a wild goose chase without providing some resources as to how to do it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/prepopulate-dropdown-with-name-of-posts#post-62477 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:28:55 +0000 RobertD 62477@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That is close… But It is actually posts titles with in the category… </p> <p>So every post that is part of "Store Directory" would be part of the drop down.</p> <p><a href="http://trailbaycentre.com/store-directory/subway/" rel="nofollow">http://trailbaycentre.com/store-directory/subway/</a></p> <p>So "Subway" would be an option in the drop down menu… And if Subway were to ever leave to leave the mall then we would delete the post and it would get automatically removed from the form. </p> <p>ps. We did all of the tenant submissions using Gravity Forms and it was a godsend… The way we were able to send it to the mall administration for review and the copy editor was a real time saver… Worth every penny! We just like to do this one more interaction and the site would be complete. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/prepopulate-dropdown-with-name-of-posts#post-62476 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:00:41 +0000 Rob Harrell 62476@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>See if this post is of any help:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamically-populating-a-field-with-category-names" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamically-populating-a-field-with-category-names</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/prepopulate-dropdown-with-name-of-posts#post-62474 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:51:49 +0000 RobertD 62474@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>bump?

Here is what I am looking for : </p> <p>We're using WordPress as a store directory for a local mall and we will give the tenants a hidden page where they can send changes to their contact. We have a category of posts called store directory and I though we could pre-populate a drop down menu with the names of the store from the category of post. </p> <p>For example: </p> <p>Hardware Store<br /> Grocery Store<br /> Restaurant </p> <p>If they all had a published post then it would show up in the form. If the business left the mall the listing would get deleted and the option would get automatically removed from the form. </p> <p>I have a feeling Gravity Forms can do this I just not sure I have the right code (see above) to do it. </p> <p>Any help or assistance would be great! </p>
