I have a select box that holds some event date options. I also have a database holding those events. I'd like to hook into a specific select box to automagically populate the options with my dates. I looked at the content hooks, and saw some about checkboxes and radio buttons, but none for select boxes.

I'm pretty comfortable with hooks and filters, I simply need to know which ones to use.

In my form I've selected that it should allowed to be populates dynamically, and given it a parameter name.

Any hope for this one?

If you want to dynamically populate a drop down field there is a How To tutorial on how to do this in the How To section of the Documentation. You can find this specific How To here:

Carl - Thanks for sharing this article. Is there a reason why the filter gform_field_value_[input_value] filter doesn't work for dynamically populating drop downs?

On a side note, I added one line and modified one line in the static function:

get_select_choices($field, $value="")

in the file:

/gravityforms/common.php

To enable dynamically populating drop downs using the traditional gform_field_value_[input_value] filter.

My changes are marked with: //***** DC:

See: http://www.pastie.org/3473370

I still need to include support for evaluating the selected option.

Thanks,

David Carroll
