Dynamic Population of Form

Say I have 12 modx resources that each represent a presentation at a seminar. I'm thinking of using something like GetField to populate a form with a Tpl that will display the title of the presentation and also add an input field. The idea is that a visitor could indicate how many places they require at each seminar. No calculations required.

Would this work and how would I pass this through to the email chunk?

Thanks in advance.

Yes I think it would work with FormIt: https://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/formit. You would be setting the value of the form element to your predefined method/GetField. Then in your email tpl just set the placeholder as a name like you normally would.

Or use wayfinder or getresources and make sure in the TPL you have a name , id and value field for each form element and all should work fine.

Any luck? I am trying to achieve something similar, but am struggling. I would like to have input fields in a getresources template, then pass them to the formit form. Basically for an order form. Each product resource has a quantity input, populate the form with getresources, user inputs quantity desired for each product, pass that along in formit email. Has me stumped!

You can put something like this in your innermost Tpl chunk:



That way, the $_POST array from the submission will have the values. For example, if the pagetitle is "shoes," the number of shoes ordered will be in $_POST['shoes-quantity']. That will be available in a FormIt hook like this:

I'm not sure if the following will be appropriate for you but this is what I did...

The following picks up my page title and passes it to a formit chunk...



And the setPlaceholders snippet call is in the top of the formit chunk
