I won't know what the values will be in the url string. They'll be different for every user (search terms used to find the form). yuniar on "Adding Hidden Variables to MachForms" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/adding-hidden-variables-to-machforms#post-14702 Fri, 11 May 2012 20:26:16 +0000 yuniar 14702@https://www.machform.com/forums/ No need any modification for this. As of v3.2 you can do this already: <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/doc-url-parameter" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/doc-url-parameter</a> hlbauer on "Adding Hidden Variables to MachForms" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/adding-hidden-variables-to-machforms#post-14687 Fri, 11 May 2012 05:27:59 +0000 hlbauer 14687@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hello, I know this is an old thread, but I'm attempting to do the same thing and can't quite get it to work. I have two hidden fields set up on my form using the css class "hidden". I need these fields to auto fill information from the url. Example url: <a href="http://www.Ignite-Edu.net?source=AdWords&keyword=KEYWORD" rel="nofollow">www.Ignite-Edu.net?source=AdWords&keyword=KEYWORD</a> I've modified the "view-functions.php" file by adding the following code directly above the line containing <code>$element_markup = <<<EOT</code> <pre><code>if (!empty($_GET['keyword']) && $element->id == '1' && $_GET['id'] == '7'){ $element->default_value = $_GET['keyword']; } if (!empty($_GET['source']) && $element->id == '1' && $_GET['id'] == '6'){ $element->default_value = $_GET['source']; }</code></pre> Form ID is 1 keyword field is 7 source field is 6 The form can be seen here: <a href="http://envistaacademies.com/machform/view.php?id=1" rel="nofollow">http://envistaacademies.com/machform/view.php?id=1</a> I've tested this a few times and can't get the hidden fields to pull the keyword or source from the url string. Any help you can offer is appreciated! redityo on "Adding Hidden Variables to MachForms" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/adding-hidden-variables-to-machforms#post-5150 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:54:35 +0000 redityo 5150@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi Pete, How you parse the data from previous form to registration form ? do you use "GET/POST" method ? If it's so let say you have "registration form" with this url : "http://www.yourdomain.com/registration.php" I assume you send GET data from your previous form, the url should be like this : "http://www.yourdomain.com/registration.php?data=2009-01-01" To get that variable data, you should edit "view-functions.php". If you consider you use "text field" you can go to around line 40, you will see this code : <pre><code>$element_markup = <<<EOT</code></pre> put this code exactly above that line <pre><code>if (!empty($_GET['data']) && $element->id == '1' && $_GET['id'] == '2') { $element->default_value = $_GET['data']; }</code></pre> in there I assume text element id = '1' in form id = '2', make sure you've change with yours MrLinguaFranca on "Adding Hidden Variables to MachForms" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/adding-hidden-variables-to-machforms#post-5131 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:55:25 +0000 MrLinguaFranca 5131@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hello all, I've just started using MachForms and am up and running but need your help with something. Sending forms is seldom just a one page but requires passing variables from one page to another. On the previous page the user selects a date range and then they click 'Continue', whereupon they're taken to my registration form (created on MachForm). I need my MachForm to pick up that date variable from the previous page because I want it to appear in the resultant mail. I read a post here that suggested selecting the 'Admin Option' could be used to make a hidden form field but I haven't had any luck with this. They simply keep appearing as text fields. So, does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance. Pete.
