Autopopulate a form using hyperlink - forms

I'm looking to autopopulate a search form entry using just a hyperlink. I do not have access to site in question and when the form is filled in manually the link is http://siteinquestion.com/search
As an example it would be a case of adding a link to google.com that then automatically searched for the term I put in the link e.g. http://www.google.com/mysearchterm
Any advice appreciated.

**update, this does not work for the site in question. If you're trying to do this remember to clear your history and use private browsing. Sigh.
Okay, found the answer once I realised autopopulate was a tag. The answer can be found here:
Create a link that automatically fills a field on the target page
In a nutshell, use firebug or equivalent to find the input ID of the form. then use query string to complete the form.
In this case, it looked something like this:
http://www.somesite.com/search?quickSearchText=texttosearchwith
Where quickSearchText was the input ID

Elementor: Custom Query that uses a pre-set target ID

So, I am trying to set the target ID for an elementor template using a short code ... e.g. can I use a shortcode like: [elementor-template id="15639" postid="9999"]?
Here my intention is to reuse an elementor template which pulls the data from post #9999 into the template. The next one might be #10078, etc. Is this possible? I can't seem to find the answer or I am searching for the wrong terms. Thx much! --Dano
P.S. The elementor template I created uses a Modal Widget, so the user can click a thumbnail (from post #9999) and then get an enlarged image (diagram) + all the data regarding the diagram (using ACF). To be clear, I am using a single post template type, NOT an archive. I don't want to create many elementor templates. I want one template that reuses the post data from a preset ID. Of course, the current page or post (that the user is on) is not the target ID I need, thus my question ... Maybe I need a custom query that will allow me to set a target ID in the shortcode?
Thx in advance!

How to mention another user on Confluence through the REST API?

I am trying to insert a mention in a confluence page through the REST API.
I tried placing the [~xxxx] in the middle of the content but it doesn't seem to work. When I open the page I see [~xxxx] instead of a link to the mentioned user.
I placed that string in the body>storage>value
I have tried also with <ri:user ri:userkey="xxuserkeyxxx"/> but, in this case, I do not see anything on the page.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.
Found the reason why wasn't working, it needs to be:
<ac:link><ri:user ri:userkey="xxuserkeyxxx"/></ac:link>
I was missing the ac:link tag. After adding it, works fine. I wasn't able to find it on the official doc: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html
You need to use a link with the content being the user's user key
<ac:link><ri:user ri:userkey="f081435773s808c3014357744847024c" /></ac:link>
If you ever need to figure out the correct syntax for storage format:
edit a page and, in this case, #mention someone
go to the "..." menu and View Storage Format to see the result.
ri:userkey is deprecated. Instead use account-id.
<ac:link><ri:user ri:account-id=<accountId> /></ac:link>

How to get element id in google forms

I want to get the id of an element in google forms. I found on the internet that it can be done by right clicking on the element and opening inspect element. It is working for older forms but, for new forms, it doesn't show any id attribute. I am posting both images of inspect element.
Old forms:
New forms:
In new form google have replace id with name attribute.So do one thing, write something in textbox then rightclick on textbox and open inspect element, Here you will find item tag with name attribute which is the key you want
For eg,
<input name="entry.123456" >
Maybe I can help you in finding the id's of the element.
After submitting the form you can look for headers{Form Data} in the network section of developer tools.
You will find something like this..
entry.102708304: "Your response"
102708304 is the id..
Hope my answer was useful. Thank You.
Try pressing Ctrl+U when on the Google Website. In Firefox this will show up the complete HTML Code where you can search better. There has to be set an Id, because otherwise the text in the element couldn't be accessed
hi this has changed a bit,
you need to get a pre filled link via 3 dot menu then prefilled link , copy it into an editor and confirm these entries.
I could not find it visible anywhere in the source code and there are a ton of JS names that seem random and 0 name inputs on my form

How do I post a query string to a form field?

I have a website with a link that says "Click here to claim your prize" and that link goes to a Sales Force catch all web-to-lead form (that multiple sites use and it has a site ID that I append to the URL so the data goes to the right account)
When a user clicks that link and goes to the form page a string (in this case it's the promo code "my prize") needs to be passed to that form page and placed in the comments form field.
My questions are how is this done, are there any tutorials you could point me to, and is there a better method for accomplishing this?
What I'm trying to avoid is having the link say "Click here to win a free prize! Must enter "My Prize" in the comments" and having the user manually enter the promo code.
Thanks muchly in advance for your help!
I've used a handy jQuery script in the past called preset.js, although the instructions are not that great it's fairly simple to implement, you may have to pick through his source code though.
This question may be better on stack overflow but I found this blog post which shows example code using php and cURL to post to the web-to-lead form

How can I create a website summary with Perl?

When you share something on Facebook or Digg, it generates some summary of the page. How would I do this in Perl? What algorithms are there?
For example:
If I go to Facebook and tried to share this question as a link:
How can I create a website summary with Perl?
It retrieves "Facebook/Digg get website summary? - Stack Overflow" as the title (which is just the title of the page) and [... incomplete question?]
CPAN is your friend.
Some promising looking modules:
HTML::Summary
HTML::SummaryBasic
Lingua::EN::Summarize
Assuming you mean sharing a link...
Usually the summary is written by the user submitting the URL. If you have to write a summary automagically this can be achieved by:
Using the first 100 or so characters of the document body (in itself not easy)
Using metadata like the description or keywords (often empty or spammed)
Context-relevant summaries like recreating Google snippets (sorry its PHP but simple)
Tags/keywords from the document using something like the Yahoo Keyword Extractor API or your own keyword density function
Your best bet is to ask the user!
Hope that helps somewhat :)
Basically you want to scrape the URL and find the "most significant paragraph" which might be the first <div> or <p> element after the first <h2> or <h1>, depending on the layout of the page.
You could check and see if there is a meta description on the page, but that leaves you at the mercy of whoever wrote the meta description.
