ok, so here's the thing... I'm trying to get the event title inside the registration form. Based on the title (or the suffix actually...) i'm going to set certain values and manipulate the form itself, but I need to know the event title first.

I'm debuging it like so right now:

Code: [Select]

function joomla_civicrm_buildForm( $formName, &$form ) {

echo "<!-- Begin Debug   ";
 
 echo $form->getVar('_values');
   
 echo " End Debug -->";
}

the output is an array, but as is, it just returns the word ARRAY

A var_dump of the page shows

Code: [Select]

 [_values] => Array
                (
                    [event] => Array
                        (
                            [id] => 13
                            [title] => Voice of The Nerds 2010 - Single
                            [event_title] => Voice of The Nerds 2010 - Single
                            [summary] => Come hear about how technology is making everyones life easier, and your job obsolete. Robots will be doing your essential job functions in the near future, so you won't have to! Guest speakers include Josh Clark, Josh W, Travis and more!
                            [description] => <p> ....(Lots more here...)

that it's a nested array.
I need to access that title or event_title. Any ideas?

What's wrong with:

Code: [Select]

$values = $form->getVar('_values');
echo $values['event']['title'];

?

Well... nothing today... but yesterday that didn't work.

Thanks Hershel
