Pass Variable from Virtuemart to Chronoform Field

Hi, i've a request.
I'm using joomla+virtuemart on a travel site.
In Product details i've included a chronoforms form, with

$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_custom','Richiestadisponibilita');
$nome_prodotto=this->product->product_name;
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module);

The form is in a html custom module, but i think was the only solution to render it where i want on the product detail page.

There is a field called "Struttura/Alloggio" (in italian) and it means the name of the hotel or residence etc.
The name is a variable in the page (php file where i render the module) called "this->product->product_name".

I want to pass this variable to an hidden field, so the user have not to write the name of the hotel everytime.
How can i do this?
Thanks.

Hi nicobond,

I have no idea how the form will work when you you load it that way. Does VirtueMart not support content plug-ins?

Usually you can use JavaScript to pick up a VirtueMart identifier either from the page URL; or the menu item; or from an HTML element in the page.

Hi GreyHead, thank you for the reply.
However, i'm so happy because i've solved it by myself!
In the .php file that generate product detail, i put this code:


global $nome_prodotto;
$nome_prodotto=$this->product->product_name;

jimport('joomla.application.module.helper');
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_custom','Richiestadisponibilita');
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module);

I defined $nome_prodotto as a global variable, and then, in custom code that generate the form in chronoform, i put this code to take the variable and put in the hidden field:

<input name="nome_prodotto" id="nome_prodotto" value="<?php echo $GLOBALS["nome_prodotto"] ?>" type="hidden" class="form-control A" />

Whit Global Variables you can do many many things like pass "distant" variable.
I think this can be useful for someone🙂
