TOPIC: How to tell which article the form was called from

How to tell which article the form was called from 11 years 5 months ago #25589

Hi, i am using the rs form and it is actually the simplest Joomla! form i have come across.. i just have one question. i have one form and i have assigned it to one page called "Booking" and i would like to call it from every page using a button. this works well but i would like to add a functionality that tells which page the form was called from. I am thinking of creating a field and then auto filling it with the page title the form was called from. Anyone knows how i can achieve this?

Hello,

I am also looking for solution to display the article title in dafault value of a field.

As in Joomla 1.5 the code below was working great, in Joomla 2.5 it displays category name, buto not a title of the article where the form is placed. :dry:
//<code>
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
return $doc->getTitle();
//</code>

//<code>
$option = JRequest::getCmd('option');
$view = JRequest::getCmd('view');
if ($option=="com_content" && $view=="article") {
    $ids = explode(':',JRequest::getString('id'));
    $article_id = $ids[0];
    $article =& JTable::getInstance("content");
    $article->load($article_id);
    return $article->get("title");
}
//</code>

You can enter this in the default value of a field. It works well with Hidden fields too.

NOT: I only tested with Article plugin, may not work with Module.
