How one can get a field auto loaded with node title by passing nid

Question

How one can get a field auto loaded with node title by passing nid. I mean instead of getting the selectllist of all available title i want it to be auto loaded with corresponding node title.

NOTE: I have passed nid to that content type. Now have to fetch the corresponding node title into a field.

Thanks in advance , Manju

Answer 1

Prepopulate might solve your problem.

The Prepopulate module allows fields in most forms to be pre-populated from the $_REQUEST variable.

For example, the following URL,

http://www.example.com/node/add/blog?edit[title]=this is the title

will automatically fill the Title field on a new blog post with the words "this is the title". Any field can be prepopulated this way, including taxonomy and CCK fields. You can prepopulate more than one field at a time as well. Prepopulate is excellent for creating bookmarklets. For examples on usage for all of these cases, please read the USAGE.txt file that comes with the module or you can read the online handbook page.

Answer 2

The Node Reference URL Widget worked well for my issue. I got the field autopopulated using the value from URL.
