YMMV Plugins

Post Picker for Gravity Forms revolutionizes how you collect post-related data in your forms by adding a sophisticated custom field type that seamlessly integrates with the Gravity Forms ecosystem.
This plugin solves a common problem: allowing users to select from existing content on your WordPress site through forms. Whether you need visitors to choose from blog posts, select products, pick events, or reference any custom post type content, Post Picker for Gravity Forms makes it effortless.
<h4>What Makes Post Picker for Gravity Forms Special?</h4>
Unlike basic dropdown fields that require manual option entry, Post Picker for Gravity Forms automatically populates dropdown menus with real content from your WordPress database. The field dynamically loads up to 50 posts from your chosen post type, displaying them alphabetically by title for easy selection.
The plugin maintains data integrity by storing post IDs internally while displaying human-readable post titles to users. This approach ensures that even if post titles change, your form entries remain accurate and meaningful.

<h3>Developer Information</h3>
Post Picker for Gravity Forms is built with developers in mind and includes several hooks and filters for customization.
<h4>Available Filters</h4>
ppfgf_get_posts_args
The main filter for customizing which posts appear in the dropdown. This filter receives three parameters:
<ul>
<li><code>$args</code> (array) – The WP_Query arguments</li>
<li><code>$post_type</code> (string) – The selected post type</li>
<li><code>$field</code> (PPFGF_Field) – The field object</li>
</ul>
<h4>Code Examples</h4>
Limit to Recent Posts 
 <code>php 
add_filter( 'ppfgf_get_posts_args', function( $args, $post_type, $field ) { 
 // Only show posts from last 30 days 
 $args['date_query'] = array( 
 array( 
 'after' => '30 days ago', 
 ), 
 ); 
 return $args; 
}, 10, 3 );</code>
Change Post Ordering 
 <code>php 
add_filter( 'ppfgf_get_posts_args', function( $args ) { 
 // Order by date instead of title 
 $args['orderby'] = 'date'; 
 $args['order'] = 'DESC'; 
 return $args; 
} );</code>
Filter by Meta Field 
 <code>php 
add_filter( 'ppfgf_get_posts_args', function( $args ) { 
 // Only show featured posts 
 $args['meta_query'] = array( 
 array( 
 'key' => 'featured', 
 'value' => '1', 
 'compare' => '=' 
 ) 
 ); 
 return $args; 
} );</code>
Increase Post Limit 
 <code>php 
add_filter( 'ppfgf_get_posts_args', function( $args ) { 
 // Show up to 100 posts instead of 50 
 $args['posts_per_page'] = 100; 
 return $args; 
} );</code>
Filter by Category (for Posts) 
 <code>php 
add_filter( 'ppfgf_get_posts_args', function( $args, $post_type ) { 
 if ( 'post' === $post_type ) { 
 // Only show posts from specific category 
 $args['category_name'] = 'events'; 
 } 
 return $args; 
}, 10, 2 );</code>
Field-Specific Filtering 
 <code>php 
add_filter( 'ppfgf_get_posts_args', function( $args, $post_type, $field ) { 
 // Only apply to specific field ID 
 if ( 5 === $field->id ) { 
 $args['author'] = 1; // Only posts by user ID 1 
 } 
 return $args; 
}, 10, 3 );</code>

<h3>What you need, where you need it – and when.</h3>
For WordPress 3.8 to 6.9+ – Backward compatibile to WordPress 3.5 (see <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menus-fixed/other_notes/" rel="ugc">Other Notes</a>) 
Works with: <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ozh-admin-drop-down-menu/" rel="ugc">Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu 3.6+</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ag-custom-admin/" rel="ugc">AG Custom Admin 1.2.5+</a>
Admin Menus Fixed Three Ways: As a companion to Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu AND/OR AG Custom Admin OR Standalone (WordPress 3.5-3.7)
<ul>
<li>
New in v1.4 Now Responsive down to phone sizes. Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu header background automatically changes to high contrast when displayed on smaller screens.
</li>
<li>
New in v1.4 Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu Header Gradient now wraps when the header does; improving the look and readability!
</li>
<li>
Consolidates the WordPress Toolbar and Ozh’s menu and makes them both always readily available at the top of your window; no matter where you happen to be scrolled on a long page.
</li>
<li>
Incorporates HoverIntent to chill the Toolbar drop-down menu hair trigger, so now you can overshoot Ozh’ Menu without the Toolbar menu falsely stepping on it; causing you to move away until it closes, so that you can get to what you were going for. Way easier to work this way. Fast. Efficient.
</li>
<li>
Automatically adjusts to the WordPress Toolbar display state; whether disabled by Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu or AG Custom Admin.
</li>
</ul>
Standalone: (Depreciated) The WordPress Devs have taken a page from this plugin’s book, pulling the concept into core by fixed-positioning the Toolbar and Admin Menus in versions 3.8+, so the plugin code is shrinking. Kinda goes against the new direction of pulling code out of core and having plugins handle the function if you want/need it, but I’m glad that the concept has been adopted; because it was long overdue. The plugin is returning to its own core purpose, that of enhancing Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu, and I’m OK with that. – see <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menus-fixed/other_notes/" rel="ugc">Other Notes</a>

The WordPress Toolbar and standard Admin Menu along the left side are made fixed-position in both expanded and collapsed modes; eliminating a lot of scrolling.
