Is it possible to pass a value into a form via the URL string.

I'm using jcal pro for an event calendar and would simply like to create a link on the calender event page that take someone to the register for the event page. There are too many event's to create a separate form for every event so what I would like to do is simply pass the value for a field into the form. Perhaps by creating a hidden field {event}.

This way I could create a simple URL link on the event page that takes them to the form say www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_form...=1&event=April19.

It looks like this question is being asked in several different ways

and a slightly different angle in this post.

I like the idea of passing parameters in a link, plus I think in my case grabbing the URL will also be necessary.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I was on the same track in my question in this thread. I also raised a support ticket and got the following excellent response from Alex:

\"...you'll need to add a script in the Scripts called on form display. Here's how it should look like:

then try accessing

index.php?option=com_forme&fid=1&email=test@rsjoomla.com

Of course, you must have a field with id=email

The script also works with multiple variables, just add more \"&(field id)=(field value)\" to the url.
