  The navigation module may be a good one to look at. The module has the 'filter' parameter set on at fuel/modules/fuel/config/fuel_modules.php which takes an array of parameters similar to what you would use for form_builder. The options for the select are actually set in the fuel/modules/fuel/controllers/navigation.php file in the list_items method however, they could be set within the fuel_modules file as well.

  I created a controller inside controllers/ with this:
  
  <?php
  
  class Questions extends CI_Controller {
  
  function __construct(){
  parent::__construct();
  }
  
  function items(){
  $this->load->model('Areas_model');
  $this->filters['area_id']['options'] = $this->Areas_model->options_list('id', 'name', array(), false);
  parent::items();
  }
  
  }
  
  ?>
  
  But it doesn't work
  It's obvious im doing something wrong here...
  Any thoughts?

  You'll want to extend the Module controller.

  The fuel/modules/fuel/controllers/navigation.php file should have at the top the following:
  
  require_once('module.php'); class Navigation extends Module {
  In your case the require_once will probably need a different path to point to the module.php file since your model will exist somewhere else. Does that make sense?
