This was the sulution:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_pre_render_1&quot;, populate_dropdown); function populate_dropdown($form){ $args = array( &#39;numberposts&#39; =&gt; 5, &#39;offset&#39; =&gt; 0, &#39;category&#39; =&gt; 1, &#39;orderby&#39; =&gt; &#39;post_date&#39;, &#39;order&#39; =&gt; &#39;DESC&#39;, &#39;post_type&#39; =&gt; &#39;post&#39;, &#39;post_status&#39; =&gt; &#39;publish&#39; ); //Reading posts for &quot;Business&quot; category; $posts = get_posts( $args ); //Creating drop down item array. $items = array(); //Adding initial blank value. $items[] = array(&quot;text&quot; =&gt; &quot;&quot;, &quot;value&quot; =&gt; &quot;&quot;); //Adding post titles to the items array foreach($posts as $post) $items[] = array(&quot;value&quot; =&gt; $post-&gt;post_title, &quot;text&quot; =&gt; $post-&gt;post_title); //Adding items to field id 8. Replace 8 with your actual field id. You can get the field id by looking at the input name in the markup. foreach($form[&quot;fields&quot;] as &amp;$field) if($field[&quot;id&quot;] == 35){ $field[&quot;type&quot;] = &quot;select&quot;; $field[&quot;choices&quot;] = $items; } return $form; } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>As you can see now its easy to order, and to set the max amount of items.. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wrong-category-in-list#post-24049 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 03:47:42 +0000 Hiranthi 24049@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What happens when you use the category ID instead of the slug? If you look at the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_posts" rel="nofollow">get_posts</a> page in the WordPress Codex you'll notice that they're only using an ID in the examples. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wrong-category-in-list#post-24047 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 02:45:34 +0000 Moose 24047@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Just purchashed the gravity form (very awesome btw) But I nog added a list to my form filled with post. like explained on <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/automatically-populate-a-dropdown-with-post-titles" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/automatically-populate-a-dropdown-with-post-titles</a></p> <p>It seems to word fine however the post which are shown are from the wrong category! When you to to <a href="http://www.geneeskundebaan.nl/demo/solliciteer/" rel="nofollow">http://www.geneeskundebaan.nl/demo/solliciteer/</a> the first field is supposed to load the post from category "vacatures" but is showing post from the category "portfolio" instead.</p> <p>I use this code in mij functions.php:</p> <p>'//Adds a filter to form id 14. Replace 14 with your actual form id<br /> add_filter("gform_pre_render_1", populate_dropdown);<br /> function populate_dropdown($form){</p> <p> //Reading posts for "Business" category;<br /> $posts = get_posts("category=vacatures");</p> <p> //Creating drop down item array.<br /> $items = array();</p> <p> //Adding initial blank value.<br /> $items[] = array("text" =&gt; "", "value" =&gt; "");</p> <p> //Adding post titles to the items array<br /> foreach($posts as $post)<br /> $items[] = array("value" =&gt; $post-&gt;post_title, "text" =&gt; $post-&gt;post_title);</p> <p> //Adding items to field id 8. Replace 8 with your actual field id. You can get the field id by looking at the input name in the markup.<br /> foreach($form["fields"] as &amp;$field)<br /> if($field["id"] == 35){<br /> $field["type"] = "select";<br /> $field["choices"] = $items;<br /> }</p> <p> return $form;<br /> }' </p>
