This now works for what I need on this occasion. </p> <p>I also spotted that the entry ID no is not called 'id' but 'entry_no' so my modification wasn't going to work anyway! I have changed this as well but it still seems not to work for some reason, but its not critical now as the new functionality has solved the problem anyway.</p> <p>Many thanks. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/passing-parameter-from-one-form-to-a-second-form#post-21114 Mon, 26 May 2014 17:18:50 +0000 yuniar 21114@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>If you are using v4, there is no need to do any modification.</p> <p>You can use template variables to populate field values:<br /> <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/doc-url-parameters" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/doc-url-parameters</a></p> <p>You can also use template variables to construct your "Redirect URL"<br /> This way you'll be able to pass data from one form to another. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/passing-parameter-from-one-form-to-a-second-form#post-21108 Mon, 26 May 2014 06:41:36 +0000 johnlaidlaw 21108@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have inserted a url in the Submission Confirmation page to take the user to a new form:</p> <p><code>view.php?id=13904&quot;</code> I wish to prepopulate a field on the new form with the submission id from the just submitted form. </p> <p>In post_functions.php I have ammended line 1691 to read:</p> <p><code>$process_result[&#39;form_redirect&#39;] = $form_redirect . &#39;&#38;IDNo=&#39; . $table_data[&#39;id&#39;];</code></p> <p>where 'id' is the field I wish to copy to the new form</p> <p>In view_functions.php after line 4381:</p> <p><code>$element[$j]-&gt;default_value = htmlspecialchars($row[&#39;element_default_value&#39;]);</code></p> <p>I have inserted:</p> <p><code>if($form_id == 13904 &#38;&#38; $row[&#39;element_id&#39;] == 17){ $element[$j]-&gt;default_value = $_GET[&#39;IDNo&#39;]; };</code></p> <p>Where the field I wish to prepopulate is element_17.</p> <p>Something is not connecting. If I change $_GET['IDNo'] to a value, it will prepopulate the field. However I can't seem to pick up the value if the 'id' from the old form. </p>
