Passing Field Data through a Link	9/22/2007 7:25:20 PM

L ldchristopher author Hello, I'm not sure I am saying the correctly, but I need a way to pass field data through a link. In this case, I want to put a link next to each record in a list view. When someone clicks on the link next to a particular record, they would be taken to an add page for another table. When this happens, I would like for the ID of the record where the link was to be passed through and automatically populate a field on the add page when it opens. Is this possible? Maybe through an action?? Thanks!!

	The way I do this is: Set up a field as "custom" and generate a link with extra parameters added, eg: [codebox]$value = "<a href=order_add.php?&Sel=".$data["SR_Number"]."&Ddn=".$data["ID"]."&Prod=".$data["Serial_Number"].">".$data["Serial_Number"]."</a>";[/codebox] (Sel, Ddn, Prod are the custom parameters) In the destination page, pick out the custom parameters in an event (say before display on add page) [codebox]$smarty->assign("value_prodcode",$_REQUEST["Prod"]);[/codebox]
