We're using a single-field tabular dataforms to create a kind of online word processor in our CV course (for people that can't get their hands on googledocs, Word or OpenOffice).
I'd really like the field to contain our CV template as default when it's created. At the moment, learners have to go to another page and cut'n'paste our template into the Editor box.
Is there a way to set new fields to hold default content.
I don't see any options for specifying default text in the field options, or in the mdl_dataform_fields table (unless it's one of those mysterious "parameter" columns?
My least-bad solution so far is to try to do it with JavaScript, but I'm baaad at JS! And I'd have to read the correct editentry value from $_GET which is a further complication.
Or could I set up something in MySQL so that any new mdl_dataform_contents entries that have the correct field id are updated with the new content when they're created?
The Dataform is my favourite thing on Moodle so far - defaults for field contents would be a wonderful addition!
