Hi all,

I'm coming to a contribution page from a webform_civicrm submission, have passed in the sid and nid in the URL so have them via $_GET, and now am working in buildForm and buildAmount hooks to manipulate the amounts and other what-nots before submitting. This is for a membership sign-up, but if I get it working I'll be trying it for events as well.

The buildAmount hook is working great - some great examples http://civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/CiviCRM+hook+specification, so thanks. But I'm having a hard time changing, for example, the intro_text of the form. I assume that should be happening in buildForm, and I know I'm targeting the right page (dpm and print_r work as expected), and I think I should be attempting to set $form->_values['intro_text'], but that just ain't working.

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Follow-up: found the answer to this in the discussion in another of my posts (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,23829.0.html). Short answer to changing 'intro_text' (and a few other things in $form->_values) is:

Code: [Select]

$form->assign('intro_text', "<p>Hello World!</p>");
