Hello, I apologize you feel this way, however please note that there is no copy paste solution for your scenario. My colleague gave you 2 articles that were more than enough information for you to get started on your project.

I will try to explain a bit more.

Changing the style of your form can be done by following this guide:
https://www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/view-article/600-how-to-perform-layout-and-style-adjustments.html

Please note that you will need to have at least some basic CSS/HTML knowledge

Retrieving information from an article, information regarding this can be found here:

https://www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/view-article/995-get-content-article-information-with-an-rsformpro-form.html

The above mentioned article provides basic snippets to retrieve various information from your article, but as I have said earlier, it's not a copy/paste solution and proper PHP/SQL knowledge will be needed.

If you encounter any issues, you can post what you tried to do (an accurate description is needed), and I will try guiding you through the process.

PS: Please note that we do not provide support on the forums, tech-support is granted here: http://www.rsjoomla.com/submit-a-ticket.html and also, please take in account our working hours (can be found in our Support Policy)

Re: Getting the article's title

This code does not work despite creating various fields both hidden and otherwise.

The following code works as intended, place your form in an article (using the content or system plugin {rsform id_of_form}) and after that create a hidden field in your form and insert this in PHP scripts called on form process:
$articleid=JRequest::getInt('id');  //gets the article's ID from the URL
$db = JFactory::getDBO();  //opens a new database connection
$db->setQuery("SELECT `title` FROM #__content WHERE `id`='$articleid'");
//gets the article's title based on its ID
$result=$db->loadResult();
if($result){
$_POST['form']['hidden']=$result;  //assigns the article's title as the hidden field's value
}

I can assure you that the hidden field will be populated with the article's title

Hi,

Maybe it would be just as well to give an example to extract the CustomFields from the article. It'd be super cool to use.
