Hi all,

I want to get values from an entry in one form, probably into variables, and then use those variables to populate a new entry in a second form.

I was pretty sure that there is an article in this sites documentation, but I cant find it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

This?

Display info from different form

or the method that superceded it

Pass parameter in url

I think it was the first link,

Not sure if it will work though. Here's the scenario

I'm building website for dog training. The member applies to join the organization to train their own dog by filling out a form. This form is the Joomla registration form also. Once accepted. The trainers will be able to see the data from that form.

In the trainers area there will be notes on the dog and the owner. SO i need the info from the first form; member id, first and last name, and t he dogs name to auto populate the new form. so the trainer just has to make the notes and submit the entry. I should be able to do the rest through the directory links.

I think the first link might do it but Its not clear what their "First form" or the "Second Form". I'm guessing the 'hash' field has to go into the application form so it can be called upon.

The trick however is making sure I get the right member id out of the many in the table.

Are you giving each member a unique Id on registration?
Either way sounds like you need a form where the trainer enters the members Id and pass that to another from in the URL then using that Id in that form 'select * where MemberId ='xyz' is that about right.
Never tried that from the Rsform submissions tables but does work as I have a seperate club membership database that works exactly like that to save anyone having to fill a form out on membership renewal
