Is it possible to dynamically create an event drop down in EE4? I see only EE3 stuff in the forum.
Thanks!

Hi Shelly,
Yes that’s possible in one way by making use of the WordPress wp_dropdown_function(). So for example, a very simple drop down list of events could be made by adding the following to your page, post, or widget template:
<h2>Events:</h2>
<form action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" method="get">
<?php wp_dropdown_pages( array( 'post_type' => 'espresso_events' ) ); ?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="view" />
</form>

Hmmmm…That didn’t work for me – but I’m looking into getting this working with Gravity forms so I’ll do some additional hunting. When I get a solution, I will post. THanks Josh!

Joss will this solution: https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/fa7725952e9087c1a781
Pre-populate the event name so that when we get the results we know what class they were trying to sign up for? I would hope so, but want to make sure.
Thanks – this might be a better solution for us.

Hi there,
It actually does not pre-populate the event name in the form, but if you’re using Gravity Forms (or Ninja Forms, it should not matter), the form entry will tell you from which event/post/page the form was submitted from, so you’ll have that information without adding any drop down list of events to the form.
