README
This extension provides information of the news record (EXT:news) to the emails generated by EXT:form.
Typical use case: Imagine events based on news articles. Every article contains a link to a page with the form to be able to register.
Installation
Install the extension with composer req georgringer/news-form-fill
.
Usage
Form Configuration
The newly available finisher needs to be placed before the email finisher(s).
Either use the UI as seen below or add the finisher manually in the yaml file
finishers: - identifier: NewsVariableProvider
After that, place a hidden field in the form with the identifier newsid
- defaultValue: null type: Hidden identifier: newsid label: News
Link to the form
Generate the link to the form with a link like this:
https://example.ddev.site/booking?newsid=123
You can now check if the prefill works by checking the source code of your page. It should contain a hidden field with the news id.
<input id="form-identifier-newsid" type="hidden" name="tx_form_formframework[form-identifier][newsid]" value="1" />
Use the news information in the template
This extension registers a demo layout in the BaseSetup.yaml
file

Take a look at Resources/Private/Templates/Finishers/Email/Default.html
to see how the news information is retrieved in the email.
Currently there is a hardcoded access to the following fields: uid, pid, title, teaser, bodytext.
