Passing parameter value to field in a form

ataylor14 15 Feb, 2018

In chronoforms one can pass a parameter in the url which can be captured by a field on a form that has the same id as the parameter passed in the url.

I am trying to have this same effect using chronoconnectivity 6.
Here is what I have:

{fn:php} where I return as var a value called say php_var
{view:toolbarbutton} I call an event using the php_var as a URL parameter: book_id={var:php_var} - this goes in the URL box
The event called by the toolbarbutton calls a form that has a field with the same id as the name php_var.
But no value gets received.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
Amelia

Sorry
I had a mistake in the PHP function as it was returning nothing hence I was not sending any parameter.
The reason was that I had to link this php with calling the function to read data again before the toolbarbutton used the parameter in the url.

Not sure if I am making any sense at all. for other people.

But sorry for posting before checking all my steps.
Regards
