Please replace the ??? with your data!

  • URL to the FORM: http://???
  • The browser used: ???
  • cforms version: ???
  • Your Wordpress version: ???

[desc]:
_ Is there any way to pre populate the cforms:form with the data from get or post data.

My problem is that i have a mini form at my landing page, when that form is completed and sumitted is should go to the cforms:form and fill in the data that is filled in the mini form.

Thanks for the great plugin.

Yes, provided that the field ID's are the same. Both POST and GET should work, the latter via a parameterized URL.

Hi,

I am doing what is being discussed in this thread but I have a special request – can the pre-populated field be used as a variable in the subject of the email?

So far I got the pre-populating thing working, but when I try to notify the admin that the 2nd form has been sent I don't receive the correct subject.

Thanks,

pilgrim2009.

Oh, 

I saw it works but only if I not disable the field. Can it be set up with the disabled field? Or hiding it?

Thanks again,

@pilgrim2009

right, if you disable a field then the HTML POST action doens't transmit it, which is unavoidable. However, you can use a hidden field.
