Fill in field

[ryanbsoftware]

I have a custom profile field you can only fill out when registering an account, i was woundering if instead of /index.php?action=register the url could be /index.php?action=register&something=valule of field

to load the page with a field valude, i want this cause i use ['profile_refered_by'] and it is for the username of who refered you, this way someone could give you a link when refering you that fills that out with their username, so the new users dosen't have to search for it, cause i want username, not display ame for a custom query a friend who knows php is writing to reward you when you refer so many people.

Sure you can do this. Simply modify your template such that your desired GET variable $_GET['something'] is interpreted.

ok so that tells me its possible, here is my code for the field, but i see their is something under valuse, so how would i do that

use $_GET['rf']

so the text bvox will display whatever referer is in the url which will be the userid.

<td><input type="text" name="default_options[profile_refered_by]" size="30" value="', @$context['member']['options']['profile_refered_by'], '" /></td></tr>
