Prepopulate a profile field from URL query string
March 15, 2010, 08:39:34 am
Is it possible to pre-populate a profile field via the URL string?

If so, what is the syntax/where is it documented?

Thanks,

Shai

You can pre-populate field in profile search mode using: http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/profile?gid=1&reset=1&first_name=Hello etc.

If you want to pre-populate for profile create mode then you should use buildForm hook.
