The provided example form templates are setup for this already, I believe. All you have to do is call render_form() on a populated item. For instance:

Code:

$user = new User();

// show a form to create a new user
echo $user->render_form();

// show a form populated with existing user data
$admin = new User();
$admin->where('username', 'admin')->get();

echo $admin->render_form();

Now if you want to repopulate a form that failed validation, it goes something like this:

Code:

// if create user form posted...
$user = new User();
$user->from_array($_POST);

if ($user->save())
{
// saved
}
else
{
// failed validation
$user->render_form();

// this works because $user is still loaded from $_POST
}
