Pre-populate a SharePoint new item form

Question

I need to pre-populate a list form (the add new item form for a list) with some details (the logged in users name and email address)

how can i do it?

Answer 1

2 options:

• create your own custom form with controls.

• create a tiny weppart that does nothing else but render user info in javascript. then use jquery to get that info in the fields in the form.

Answer 2

I'm doing the same thing, trying to populate a people picker field.

I'm not done yet, but I was able to implement a CEWP (Custom Editor Web Part) in the form, adding:

?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2

at the end of the URL of the new form. Example:

NewForm.aspx?RootFolder=.....default.aspx**&PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2**

After that,I put JQuery in the Web Part content, until now I trying to implement SPFF, but is kinda hard because there are not too many examples... by the time I'm done I would be pleased to help you
