I have a Drupal 7 webform with a dropdown list of Products - Product A - Product B - Product C - etc...
I want to place a button link on another page "How to Buy Product A" that will bring up the webform with Product A selected in the dropdown.
The Field Key in the Webform for the dropdown is: railing_system_model
Do I just add something to the link URL??
I have no idea where to begin, is there a module that will do this?
Regards,
John
hook_form_alter() or hook_form_form_id_alter() is what you're looking for here.
First your link how ever it's constructed should have a query parameter kind of like "/webformurl?product=a". This would be a link back to your webform.
In one of the hook form alters, you'd check for the value in the url if it doesn't exist do nothing. If it does change the default value for the form field.
If you're not sure how to alter the field on your form maybe check out this link for additional details - Programmatically modifying a webform with hook_form_alter()
The Prepopulate module will let you pre-set most form values by adding a parameter to the URL corresponding with the field name. You'd use something like this (inspect your generated form for the proper variable name to use, and watch you are using the proper underlines/dashes):
