I've got a Drupal (6.16) and Civi (3.0.x) install for a client. I'm using the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/webform">Webform</a> for a really basic email grab, "Sign up for our newsletter" form. On the thank you page, we'll be inviting folks who want to to fill out a Civi profile.

How can I grab the email address from the webform form and pre-populate the email field on the Civi profile with that address, so those choosing to fill in the profile don't have to type their email address twice?

Note: there is no integration between Drupal users and Civi contacts. The org is only using Drupal users for staff people.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Shai Gluskin

As per my understanding when you submit a form created by webform you want to redirect user to civicrm profile and pre-populate email address - profile field.

So in this case when you redirecting to civicrm profile, I would append email address in the profile url. For eg:

http://<site_name>/profile/create?gid=1&reset=1&email=hello@example.org

Then use builForm hook in civicrm to retrive email from above url and use it to set default.

You can install the Webform CiviCRM Integration module to take care of this task, with no redirects or profiles necessary.
