How to hard code a value in a new event form

Hello,

I am trying to hard coded a few values in my new event form and was hopeful that somebody might be able to assist.

In this case I want to hard code (or at least default) a value in the Cancel By Date for event registrations.

I have found the code that provides this line item in the form but I am not sure what needs to be modified.

<tr>
<td class="key">
<?php echo JText::_('EB_CANCEL_BEFORE_DATE'); ?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo JHTML::_('calendar', $this->item->cancel_before_date != $this->nullDate ? JHTML::_('date', $this->item->cancel_before_date, $format, $param) : '', 'cancel_before_date', 'cancel_before_date'); ?>
</td>
</tr>

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I have a few of these that I am looking to do but this is one that is top on my list.

Thanks for a great product and this great forum and support.

At the top of that file, you can use the code below :

You can do the same for all other fields (note, you will need to know basic php to do that) .
