Re: using QuickForm with $_GET variable for default id - when it processes there is no variable in URL so it throws error

This is what I ended up using: function preGenerateForm() { $this->fb_preDefElements['plot_ID'] = HTML_QuickForm::createElement('hidden', 'plot_ID', $_REQUEST['pl_ID']); $this->plot_ID = $_REQUEST['pl_ID']; "I.

Instead you have to use setValue() or setDefaults() afterwards. I would really like to set it's value like this, but it is simply not the case.
