New Form Module vs. Old Form Module

Hi,

In the "Old Form Module" you could pass along a value in your url, which would fill in the value of the specified field: Myformpage.aspx&Eventname=Neverendingstoryoffeaturesdisappearinginnewmodules

This would then on my form page fill the field named "Eventname" with the value "Neverendingstoryoffeaturesdisappearinginnewmodules"

This was very handy when making an event calendar, in which you needed to make simple ticket reservations via an e-mail form.

Is this a forgotten feature or is there something similar in the "New Form Module"???

You can do it but it requires the use of xslt templates. I have taken offset in your example and the following xslt will create a text box with the name of the value of your "Eventname" variable in your URL.

<xsl:template match="item[Field.Systemname='Eventname']" priority="1">
 <xsl:element name="input">
  <xsl:attribute name="type">
   <xsl:text>text</xsl:text>
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="name">
   <xsl:value-of select="Field.Systemname" />
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="id">
   <xsl:value-of select="Field.Systemname" />
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="value">
   <xsl:value-of select="/Template/Server.Request.Eventname" />
  </xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
