Linking to a web form, but adding a custom variable (Name) to a field

  • Here’s what I’d like to achieve. I have a gallery with kids photos and their names in the caption.
    Above is the link to the sponsorship form which is on another page.
    What I’m hoping to do is to create links to the webform, which somehow includes the “Child Name” field prefilled based off which kid you click on.

    I don’t know if this is possible by using just HTML, but any ideas (including plug ins!) I’d love to hear!

    Thanks.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    These links would appear as a “sponsor me” button or similar within the gallery, is that right? The gallery code would need modification to include the necessary HTML. Since the child name is part of gallery output, including the child name in the link is in theory possible, but the specifics depend on the gallery code.

    Then on the form page, its code needs to know to look for such passed data and use it to populate a form field. Again this is in theory possible, but the specifics depend on the form generation code.

    If you are using plugns for gallery and form generation, it’d be best to ask in their respective support channels for specific guidance.

    Great. Thanks for that, I did think about the Form plugin and seeing if there was an option for something like this. I’m definitely an amature when it comes to anything beyond basic HTML and CSS. Will check out the support for the smart form plugin though.
