Set default value in registration from URL
With Easy Profile is possible to dynamically set the default values during user registration.
To set a default value, just enter value assigned to the alias of the field in the URL.
Examples
http://yoursite.yourdomain/registration?ALIAS_OF_FIELD=VALUE
If I have the field "Job" aliases "job" and I want to set the default "Employee". I will use this URL query:
http://yoursite.yourdomain/registration?job=Employee
