I need a Hidden field where i retrieve the content, probably ?? How to?

Get the details with PHP, and THEN display the form. Use {var:php_block_name} in the Value of your hidden field.

Thank you so much! here is the code for those who need it :
​
// FIRSTLY CHECK THAT THE PAGE THE MODULE APPEARS ON IS AN ARTICLE
$nameofcomponent = JRequest::getVar('option');
$viewofcomponent = JRequest::getVar('view');

if ($nameofcomponent=="com_content" && $viewofcomponent=="article" ) {

// IT IS AN ARTICLE, SO GET THE ID OF THE ARTICLE
$idofarticle = JRequest::getInt('id');

// LOAD THE MODEL OF COM_CONTENT
$model = JModelLegacy::getInstance('Article', 'ContentModel');
// USE THE GETITEM FUNCTION OF THE MODEL TO RETURN THE DETAILS
$article = $model->getItem($idofarticle);


// GET THE CONTENT TEXT
$content = $article->introtext;
return $content ;
}

I take this code does exactly what your question was and nothing else, Gemeline? Much appreciated, if so.
