I've followed different tutorials but I cannot seem to override a field on my webform via a function in template.php.

Theme is called: 'myTheme'
Id of the form is: 'webform_client_form_76'
Id of the input: 'edit-submitted-henkilotiedot-etunimi'
Name of the input: 'submitted[henkilotiedot][etunimi]'

The function I think should work:

function myTheme_webform_form_76 (&$vars) {
    $vars['form']['submitted']['edit-submitted-henkilotiedot-etunimi']['#value'] = t('Name');
}

What is the correct format to override webform elements?

  • Thanks, but I seem to also have the format of the code to alter wrong as well: $form['form']['submitted']['edit-submitted-henkilotiedot-etunimi']['#value'] = t('Name');

  • Setup devel module and then use kpr($form); to research $form structure. Looks like it should be $form['submitted']['henkilotiedot_etunimi']['#value'] = t('Name');

  • Thanks for the advice. It turns out I needed $form['submitted']['henkilotiedot']['etunimi']['#default_value'] = t('Name');
