Hi

I have a content type (Event) that shows an event name, date, location, etc. I would like to allow users to respond to this content type with a webform (specifying their name, making an appointment time request, etc). Ultimately, i would like to have a link on the event view that will bring up the webform and in one of its fields capture the event name. That way when the webform is submitted the admin will know which event the submission is related too. It seems like a nodereference url widget would work well....however i am not seeing how this could be implemented as a field in webform. Is there a better solution? Should i just make the response to an event a different content type and create a rule that will fire off an email? Any ideas much appreciated!

I've got a similair wish, where I want to fill in a field on a contact form (shown on the bottom of the node using the Webformblock module) with a value from a CCK field.

I believe one way would be to pass the value from the node to the URL and let Webform pick that value from the URL. But I don't know how to populate the URL with a value from a CCK field. Another way is to use a node reference... Anyone who can help to achieve this?

I don't really care if it's webform or a cck node - but I want to display a content type = Course and have the user enter an individual Time record that references the Course.

i think you can do this if you add a node reference on your course node, and reference it to a webform.

Watch this excellent video http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode37, it will explain how to link a webform to an event.
