TOPIC: The article title in a hidden field

The article title in a hidden field 4 years, 1 month ago #4810

This question has been asked from others before...with no answer. Grateful if someone can help.

With the plugin for BreezingForms you can put any form inside a content article.

But when I have the same type of form for other articles aswell, then I will not know from which article the form was sent from. Therefor I need to have at least the title of the article inside the form. Either as inside an input field or as a hidden one.

First: click Edit form/Form pieces click: Before form/Library choose: FF::ff_InitLib Then use for value <?php $id = ff_getParam('ff_contentid'); if (is_numeric($id)) return ff_selectValue("select title from #__content where id=$id"); ?> ...to get a field to write out the article title /Steve	Betrakta OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 11 Karma: 1

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but the solution below does not seem to work anymore. Does anyone know if there is still a way to return the article/page title into the value of a hidden field, using Breezingforms in Joomla 1.6? Hope someone can help... Thanks, Frank	frankscl OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Karma: 0

Excuse the BUMP again - I have a found a method that works and wanted to share:

Put the following code in the value of the hidden field:

<?php 
$option = JRequest::getCmd('option');
$view = JRequest::getCmd('view');
if ($option=="com_content" && $view=="article") {
    $ids = explode(':',JRequest::getString('id'));
    $article_id = $ids[0];
    $article =& JTable::getInstance("content");
    $article->load($article_id);
    return $article->get("title");
}
?>

And it should return the title of the article you are currently viewing.

In Joomla 1.7 it's far more simple, just use this code: <?php return JFactory::getDocument()->getTitle(); ?>	vvallace OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 Karma: 0
