In earlier versions of EE (EE1.6x)it was possible to pre-populate SAEFs with the weblog:entries_form by wrapping it in an ordinary weblog:entries tag or by using some PHP. The URL would trigger the data needed for pre-populating. Neither of these methods work with SafeCracker.The logic is different now as SafeCracker sees an edit form if an entry_id is added to the URL. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

You can actually supply a url_title to SafeCracker in place of an entry_id:

{exp:safecracker url_title="{segment_3}"}

Thanks for answering Rob. But the thing is that I need to pass an entry_id or url_title to an existant entry in order to use its data to pre-populate the stand-alone entry form. Whenever I try to that, SafeCracker stops functioning.

Another issue is pre-populating SafeCracker by using PHP. I have a snippet of PHP code to dynamically set expiration date. Worked before. SafeCracker doesn’t parse the PHP though but prints the php code. I tested by putting the PHP in a Snippet if it has do with parsing order, but it still doesn’t work.
