Need help creating an edit form

I'm starting using the code located in a post from 4 days ago (http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/displaying-entry-data-in-form#post-22281).

I have a form that I want to use as an edit form so that if the Lead ID already exists, the form will pre-populate with the data that is already in the database.

I have taken David Smith's code from http://pastie.org/1744975, added it to my functions.php file, set up a hidden field to capture the original Lead ID dynamically from the URL string, however it still isn't loading anything. I've tried a couple of different URL string syntax including http://www.mysite.com/edit-directory/?lid=12 and http://www.mysite.com/edit-directory/?/lid/12, however neither preloads the data in my form.

Any idea what I'm doing incorrectly?

Thanks David,

It looks like it's not being fetched correctly. If I echo out the $lead_id it doesn't display anything.

so, maybe my next question, :) is how do I fetch it correctly?

thanks

Yep, rgget is available in 1.5. Is upgrading not an option for you? If not, just add this below the other snippet:

Has anyone been able to get this to pre-render the 'advanced' address fields?

I tried the following from another post but it's not working.

case 'address':
             $i = 1;
            foreach($field['inputs'] as $addr){
				if(!isset($entry[$addr['id']])) {
                    $i++;
                    continue;
                }
				$x = (string) $addr['id'];
				$val = $entry[$x];
                $addr['defaultValue'] = $val;
            }
            break;
