Passing global variables through URL - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

typically trying in com_contacts - want pre-fill subject input box via different links... when user clicks link, subject box text set depending on link.

could explain step step on joomla 1.5 ?

mod note: topic split, please not hijack different topic.

you try this:

1. create folder in template folder called "html" (if doesn't exists)
2. create folder in html folder called "com_contact" (if doesn't exists)
3. create folder in com_contact folder called "contact" (if doesn't exists)
4. copy file .../components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default_item.php in .../templates/[your-template]/html/com_contact/contact/ folder
5. open file
6. add along lines:
   

   code: select all

   <?php if(jrequest::getvar('subject') == 'test15'): ?>
<!--- add code here --->
<?php else: ?>
<!--- add code here --->
<?php endif; ?>

   
   
7. save file
8. use url parameter subject e.g. this:
   

   code: select all

   www.your-domain.com/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1&subject=test15
