PREPOPULATE MODULE
==================
By ea.Farris, based on an idea from chx.
Maintained by Addison Berry (add1sun).

Prepopulate is an attempt to solve the problem that resulted from
the discussion at http://www.drupal.org/node/27155 where the $node object,
it was (correctly, I believe) decided, should
not be prefilled from the $_GET variables, and instead, the power of the
FormsAPI should be used to modify the #default_value of the form
elements themselves.

This functionality will make things like bookmarklets easier to write,
since it basically allows forms to be prefilled from the URL, using a
syntax like:

http://www.example.com/node/add/blog?edit[title]=this is the title&edit[body]=body goes here

Refer to the USAGE.txt file or the online handbook at http://drupal.org/node/228167 for more examples.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to the Prepopulate issue queue:
http://drupal.org/project/issues/prepopulate
