Dynamically Populating checkboxes with post titles from a specific category?

  1. I have an "Events" category. I would like to dynamically populate a set of check boxes on a Gravity Form using the post titles from this category. I am assuming I would use a hook, but I'm not sure how to go about this the correct way. Can anyone give me some insight or point me in the right direction? Is this even possible?

    Example:
    Register for an event:
    [ ] Event 1
    [ ] Event 2
    [ ] Event 3

  2. I am looking at the code here: http://pastie.org/2105544

    Could I simply substitute the type='select' to type='checkbox' ?

    Do checkboxes use the same "choices" array?

  3. No, you wouldn't populate checkboxes the same way you populate a drop down. A drop down is a single field. Checkboxes are multiple inputs, they are completely different. Checkboxes are much more complex.

    Here is a forum post that discusses how to dynamically populate checkboxes:
