This plugin will add a new Gravity Forms field to your form designer which gives your customers the ability to select from a list of posts directly from your WordPress posts. The field allows you to select a custom post type to build your list from and also the ability to group your data by a custom taxonomy.
It’s simple. Install the plugin and activate it and then a new field called ‘Post Listing’ will appear in your Gravity Forms form editor under Advanced Fields. After adding this field to your form, you can select a post type which will populate the list with posts of these posts type. You can even group your posts by a custom taxonomy that you select. That’s it! The field will render a drop down on your form that users can use to select any post based on the post type you have selected.
The field type supports all the standard features of Gravity Forms. You can use the enhanced UI using the chosen plugin, setup conditional arguments using this field, set the field size and a range of standard functionality provided by Gravity Forms.
The plugin has been set up for translation and includes English translations (more to come), and contains multiple developer hooks which allow for customisation and extending beyond what the plugin is already capable of.
You must have Gravity Forms 1.7.x or higher installed and activated on your WordPress site.
