TOPIC: Passing and Collecting params through URL's

Passing and Collecting params through URL's 1 year, 9 months ago #15385

I know this is an old story and covered in many posts, all of which I have read, tried, read again and hit the scotch bottle...

OK, I am no programmer, so this might all seem very simple to many of you, but to me, it's more than gobble-de-gook....

In my menu item for my selected form, I have
&ff_param_vClass=new


I am now trying to complete two things;

1) Simply display that param to check it is being passed and check the right thing is being passed, in a textbox.. I have tried...
<?php return $ff_param_vClass; ?>

<?php return ff_setValue('test', ff_getParam('ff_param_vClass'));

ff_setValue('test1', JRequest::getVar('ff_param_vClass',''));


All with no outcome or display...

The real reason for trying to pass a param in the URL is to actually change a radiobutton, which then has visibility rules assigned to show different questions based on the incoming URL param. Which obviously has no effect at the moment, if I can't even get the basic display in a textbox to work.

So, any help here would be appreciated before I tear all my hair out and hit the bottle too hard...

I have been completely lost from the other posts , as to , where, what goes...

So...

URL/MENU-ITEM: Is this correct, so far?

TEXTBOX: What needs to be done here to display the param $ff_param_vClass ?

RADIOBUTTON: What needs to be done here?

SCRIPTS: What needs to happen here?

PIECES: What needs to be done here?

FORM-SETTINGS: Does anything need to be done here?

Thanks for your help guys, this is driving me crackers... Been loving BF without trying to do this bit...

Cheers
Russ

I'm in the exact same situation, except that I'm using the BF plugin to embed my form in an article. Works fine, except that I can't pass in a value to a field, not even a simple text field. Did you ever figure out how to do it?
