If it's so let say you have "registration form" with this url :</p> <p>"http://www.yourdomain.com/registration.php"</p> <p>I assume you send GET data from your previous form, the url should be like this :</p> <p>"http://www.yourdomain.com/registration.php?data=2009-01-01"</p> <p>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 :</p> <pre><code>$element_markup = &lt;&lt;&lt;EOT</code></pre> <p>put this code exactly above that line</p> <pre><code>if (!empty($_GET[&#39;data&#39;]) &#38;&#38; $element-&gt;id == &#39;1&#39; &#38;&#38; $_GET[&#39;id&#39;] == &#39;2&#39;) { $element-&gt;default_value = $_GET[&#39;data&#39;]; }</code></pre> <p>in there I assume text element id = '1' in form id = '2', make sure you've change with yours </p> http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/adding-hidden-variables-to-machforms#post-5131 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:55:25 +0000 MrLinguaFranca 5131@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ <p>Hello all,</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>So, does anyone know how to do this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Pete. </p>
