I am using the hook_civicrm_buildform to try to add some extra information to a contribution page confirmation. I am following the example at the bottom of the page at: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/hook_civicrm_buildForm

The code in my tpl file is: <div id="testfield-tr">

Code: [Select]

 <div>My new field:</div>
  
  <div>{$form.testfield.html}</div>
  
  
</div>

{* reposition the above block above #someOtherBlock *}
<script type="text/javascript">
  cj('#testfield-tr').insertAfter('#help')
</script>

The HTML is successfully part of the contribution "confirm" page, BUT the output for $form.testfield.html is always empty.

In my hook, I am setting up the element as follows:

Code: [Select]

$tmp = $form->add('text', 'testfield', ts('Recipient Names:'),
                     $names_arr,
                     false);

I have also tried

Code: [Select]

$tmp = $form->add('select', 'testfield', ts('Recipient Names:'),
                     $names_arr,
                     false);

but neither one produces any extra text. (The only thing that gets displayed from my tpl file is <div>My new field:</div>

FYI: I don't really need a "input" field. I really just want to add some extra text

My hook only has an impact if ( $formName == 'CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Confirm')

You will need to set the default value for the field like this:

Code: [Select]

$defaults = array('testfield' => 12345);
$form->setDefaults( $defaults );

Thanks! That worked for me.
