[body_filter][body] not working for Drupal 6.3

I am having this same issue on 6.4 with a module of my own design. It would be very helpful to know how to fix this, if it has been determined.

This isn't a problem with prepopulate, to set the body use edit[body_field][body].
I don't know when this was changed, but this works as of drupal 6.5

wasn't a bug in the module

Hi,

I'm trying to prepopulate to define the message in contact module form with this :
?edit[message]=Hello

But it doesn't seem to work...Any ideas??

Thanks

As far as I'm aware, Prepopulate for all forms isn't in the drupal 6 version yet, and therefore Prepopulate only works for node type forms in drupal 6.

hm, well actually all forms is in D6 now. but that is not to say that it works on *all* forms. we know that there are issues with the comment forms for example. either way this should be a new issue and not hijack a different, fixed issue.

not work for 6.6 either

I am reopening this after spending an hour hunting for body prepopulating solution.

The answer is there, as usual, but it is very much hidden.

The documentation page at http://drupal.org/node/228167 still mentions edit[body_filter][body] but the comment underneath (http://drupal.org/node/228167#comment-1184706) helpfully says we should use edit[body_field][body] instead.

I confirm that the latter works in 6.x-2.x-dev and also in 6.x-1.1.

I am not fixing the documentation myself as I am not sure whether edit[body_field][body] works only since a particular Drupal version, or whether it works in all D5 and D6 versions. Could somebody who knows the answer comment here. Thanks.

vacilando: +1

please add the [body_field] example to the USAGE.TXT file and the handbook. ;-)

Committed to 6.x branches and updated handbook page.
