Redirect to form with parameter

[Guni]

Hello guys,

I will open a specific form by clicking on a button.
Which form is gonna be opened depends on the constellation of some select lists.
To open these forms I use this code and it works great.

Code:

ff_redirectParent('{mossite}/index.php?option=com_facileforms'+
            '&ff_name=PW_input'+
            '&Itemid=-1');

But now I want to pass some parameters from the 1st Form to the second form.
How can i do this. Can this be done by the function I use at the moment?

I would appreciate your information.

Like this:

Code:

$identity=ff_getSubmit('identity');
header("Location: {mossite}/index.php?option=com_facileforms&ff_name=formname&ff_param_identity=$identity&ff_page=1");

I get in this code the param from the element called identity, and pass it ass the param named identity.

You can easily add both the get submit and the passing of the param (&ff_param_identity=$identity) to your own code.

You use a different way of writing it, so I'll let you tinker with it  instead of giving you an incorrect example

Thanks very much Andrew.
I tried it with your example, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I think it would work if I submit the form to a database.
But I don't submit anything on the 1st Form. My 'Next' button
should only open a new form with some parameters from textfields or Select lists from the 1st one.

Code:

function mainFunction(pw)
{
if(pw==2)
{
$test=ff_getSubmit('pw');
//var test = ff_getElementByName('textfield').value  This would nice if it would work. But I know that this is not possible :-(
 ff_redirectParent('{mossite}/index.php?option=com_facileforms&ff_name=PW_input&ff_param_test=$test&Itemid=-1');
}

In the Initialization Script of the 2nd Form, I've got this code

Code:

ff_getElementByName('newtextfield').value = $test

I hope there are no big errors in my logic :-/

Hi Guni
This will work for you...

Code:

ff_redirectParent('
{mossite}/index.php?option=com_facileforms&ff_name=PW_input&Itemid=-1&ff_param_test='+escape(ff_getElementByName('name of your select list').value)+'
');

Dont forget you need to pick up the value of the parameter somthing like this...

Code:

<?php
//retrieve param
$x = ff_getParam('ff_param_test');
return "$x";
?>

Thanks very much boldee!

After I wrote your statement in one line the Javascript code is executed without any errors
and the new form shows up. 
I also wrote this custom php code in the Before Form/Form Pieces section of the 2nd form.

Code:

<?php
//retrieve param
$x = ff_getParam('ff_param_test');
return "$x";
?>

In the Initialization Script section I wrote the following:

Code:

function ff_PW_input_init()
{

ff_getElementByName("QEC_Code").value = $x;
} // ff_PW_input_init

But that doesn't work.
The Firefox error console says: $x not defined

Now my question is, how can I make $x available in the JS code?

[boldee]

If you make $x a global variable...

Code:

<?php
//set globals
global $x;

//retrieve param
$x = ff_getParam('ff_param_test');
return "$x";
?>

If then becomes available in js as below...

Code:

var xyz =  '<?php global $x; return $x; ?>';

Oh my god, it works 
Thank you so much guys!
Boldee, you're code is great. I just had to add the loading of the initLib to the php code.
Finally I can see the parameter in a textfield of the new form.

There is only one little mistake now. The parameter also shows up in the upper left corner
of the form.
How can I avoid that?


Thanks again

Get rid of the return $x in the parameter code.
