CF7 Select an article author from dynamic dropdown

cruser 06 Oct, 2020
Using the Basic Articles list as a "guide" I have been able to create new articles. YES! How can I select the author of a new article (or change author of existing article) from a dynamic dropdown? Once the article expires is there a way to show that icon in the Basic Articles List Table?

Did you check the dynamic dropdown demo form ? it shows how to read records from the database and set them as the dropdown options, then if your dropdown is mapped to the created_by field in the articles table it will do what you need.

I'm lost with it. What I am trying to do is create an article and assign any author in the user list to it. Where am I missing it? [file=13355]Basic_Articles_List_07_Oct_2020_12_04_13.cf7bak[/file]

Did you manage to get the dropdown to list the users ?

No. The included filter works perfectly. When try to replicate that on the "New Article" section I do not get the list of users.
