Hi there,

I have a Sitefinity form on a page and like to fill one of its fields via querystring, I am new to Sitefinity 4x, please tell me how to do it?

Hello Zubair,

You can get a form with the following code and then fill its textbox:


var manager = FormsManager.GetManager();
var form = manager.GetFormByName("sf_test").SetValue("FormTextBox", "Bla");
manager.SaveChanges();

Hello,

This would come pre-filled all the time with the same value.
How about having a smaller form that takes you to a bigger one (Made by the Form Builder) and that bigger one loads populated with what has been given on the small one?

Is this scenario doable? Would the small form send GET or POST data?

Thank you.
Regards, Taha

Hi,

Actually this scenario is not supported.

We could provide you with some code snippet with which you could pre-populate the values in the forms:

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)

if (!this.IsDesignMode())

var fieldControl = this.FieldControls.SingleOrDefault(fc => fc.MetaField.FieldName == "FormTextBox_0") as FieldControl;

if (fieldControl != null)

fieldControl.Value = "FormTextBox_0";

fieldControl = this.FieldControls.SingleOrDefault(fc => fc.MetaField.FieldName == "FormTextBox") as FieldControl;

if (fieldControl != null)

fieldControl.Value = "FormTextBox";

base.Render(writer);

You could add your custom logic to use it for getting and setting the values in the form.

All the best,
