How to pass a variable to form?
Permalink Browser Info Environment
I'm using this add-on, and it's working great, but I'd like to send an encoded URL with a variable to a hidden field in the form.
I know how to do it in hand-coded site, but no idea how to make it work in c5/Extended Form.
I've tried adding a hidden field with a value of '<?php echo $opportunityID; ?>' but that plugs that literal text into the field value, and doesn't parse the php.
Any ideas how I can accomplish this? I suppose I could edit the core code or add a template, but it sure would be nice to just plug it in in the interface :)

Just to get the results I needed, I added a hidden field to the form in form edit mode, then I added some code to the /models/survey.php file to receive the hidden info:
the 'opportunityID' value above is the value passed from the original, unique link to the form, like this:
It's a hack, but it works. It would be nice to have this functionality built in. Perhaps in the next version?

<a href="/index.php/branch-application/?opportunityID=MTG000"> Apply Here</a>

Maybe we should add a new field called php or something... I know there is an addon to add php code to the content, maybe we can take a look at how they did it...
I'll get back to you on that!
