Fill in Select-Field with Custom Post Data

Hello @hueskedotdigital,

I hope you’re doing great today!

Here’s an example of the script for populating {select-1} field with the post titles:

<?php

add_filter(
    'forminator_cform_render_fields',
    function( $wrappers, $form_id ) {

        $allowed_forms = array (
            2268,
        );

        if ( ! in_array( $form_id, $allowed_forms) ) {
            return $wrappers;
        }

        $select_fields_data = array(
            'select-1' => 'post',
        );

        foreach ( $wrappers as $wrapper_key => $wrapper ) {
            if ( ! isset( $wrapper[ 'fields' ] ) ) {
                continue;
            }

            if ( 
                isset( $select_fields_data[ $wrapper[ 'fields' ][ 0 ][ 'element_id' ] ] ) &&
                ! empty( $select_fields_data[ $wrapper[ 'fields' ][ 0 ][ 'element_id' ] ] )
            ) {
                $posts = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => $select_fields_data[ $wrapper[ 'fields' ][ 0 ][ 'element_id' ] ] , 'numberposts' => -1 ) );

                if ( ! empty( $posts ) ) {
                    $new_options = array();
                    $opt_data    = array();
                    foreach( $posts as $post ) {
                        $new_options[] = array(
                            'label' => $post->post_title,
                            'value' => $post->ID,
                            'limit' => '',
                            'key'   => forminator_unique_key(),
                        );
                        $opt_data['options'] = $new_options;
                    }

                    $wrappers[ $wrapper_key ][ 'fields' ][ 0 ][ 'options' ] = $new_options;
                    $select_field = Forminator_API::get_form_field( $form_id, $wrapper[ 'fields' ][ 0 ][ 'element_id' ], true );
                    if ( $select_field ) {
                        Forminator_API::update_form_field( $form_id, $wrapper[ 'fields' ][ 0 ][ 'element_id' ], $opt_data );
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return $wrappers;
    },
    10,
    2
);

– you’ll need to replace “2268” with your form ID, and replace “select-1” with the actual field ID.

Save the code as a PHP file, for example “forminator-populate-select-field-with-posts.php“, and upload it to /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory on the server, in order for it to run as a must use plugin.

You then can send the field value the same way, as any other fields, by using the macros in the Email Notifications section:

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Works. Any chance to get this into UI in future?

Hi @hueskedotdigital

I have doubts we will implement this in future updates as this is already available functionality in Forminator when it comes to HTML. This field allows you to select “Embed Post/Page Title”.

Later on in your email, you can call {html-1} field which will call {embed_title}, or you can simply place in email notification {embed_title}.

Is there any reason to call the post title into {select-1} if that will call only 1 title from the post URL where the end user will land?

Kind Regards,
Kris
