Hello

I'd like to gather customer feedback using a Sites.

I have a button on contact that generates an email with a link to the site.

The feedback is stored against a custom object. This is all working fine.

I need that custom object record to link back to the contact.

I can pass the contact ID to Site from with in the URL

http://cambridge.prelive.cs13.force.com/AcademicFeedback?ContactId=0032000000lv5LKAAY

I have coded an VF extension class that gets the ID 

I just can't figure out how/when to apply this id to the custom record. (or to the VF page)

I can't even get a text field to default!!!!

I guess the generic question is how do you default a value on a Sites VF page.

Hellllppp! :-)

public class FeedbackExt
{
   private ApexPages.StandardController stdCtrl;

   public Academic_Customer_Feedback__c controlledRecord;

   public FeedbackExt(ApexPages.StandardController std)
   {
      this.controlledRecord = (Academic_Customer_Feedback__c)std.getRecord();
     
      String idsParam = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('ContactId');
      this.controlledRecord.Contact__c = idsParam; // this field is not defaulting!!
      this.controlledRecord.Module_Name__c = 'PLEASE DEFAULT'; // this field is not defaulting!!
     
      stdCtrl=std;
   }

   public PageReference save()
   {
 
      stdCtrl.save();
      return Page.thanks;
   }
}
