pass cck email value to webform block

Question

I currently have 2 webforms displayed on a page - these are inserted dynamically from a node.tpl.php file.

However, I also have a cck field on the current node for an email address - I would like to be able to pass this email value directly to the "Email To" field of the webform.

This would create a new email recipient depending on which node you were viewing. For example:

The "About Us" page contained the field "email: [email protected]" - therefore the webform loaded in the sidebar would be sent to this address.

The "Location" page contains the field "email: [email protected]" - now this would be the email address that receives any submissions from that page.

The idea is to have 1 webform and dynamically change the email its sent to based on a cck field. Is this possible at all?

Thanks, Garry.

Answer 1

1. In your webform add an "email field" for the recipient (say email_recipient).

2. Go to node/123/webform/emails to set the recipient to be your previously created field.

3. Create a hook_form_alter to put the email address you your webform field.

   <?php
   function CUSTOM_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
     //you need to set up a CUSTOM module to store this.
     //use devel with dsm($form); to figure the name of each field
     if ($form['#id'] == 'webform-client-form-123') {
       //load the node from the url
       if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
         $node_email = node_load(arg(1));
         //set your webform field to your email
         $form['submitted']['con_email_recipient']['#default_value'] 
              = $node_email->field_email_recipient[0]['value'];
       }
     }
   }
   ?>
   

Add some CSS to hide the field, and it should work, code untested but I'm pretty confident about the steps, also have a look at Working with Default Values.

I know this is old, but in case anyone else comes up with this problem, the problem is this line:

if (arg(0) = 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {

should be

    if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
