HEADER

I spent a long time figuring out how to display registered user data in my form. There is a lot of information in this forum but most of it is regarding Joomla 1.0. I am using Joomla 1.5. Pay attention to the VALUE attribute.

Good luck with this wonderful tool.

Hopefully you can use this information.

Code: Select all

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <p>Aanmelden voor thema -avond Persoons Gebonden Budget </p>
  <table width="200">
    <tr>
      <td>Naam</td>
      <td><input name="Naam" type="text" id="Naam" size="40" maxlength="40" value="<?php $user = &JFactory::getUser();echo $user->name;?>" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Email</td>
      <td><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30" maxlength="30" value="<?php $user = &JFactory::getUser();echo $user->email;?>" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td nowrap="nowrap">Aantal personen </td>
      <td><input name="aant_pers" type="text" id="aant_pers" size="2" maxlength="2" /></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Verstuur aanmelding" />
  </p>
</form>

Hi luykmhm,

Great, thank you.

Bob

Great Lukyhmh!!!

This is what i've been looking for quite some time now... How did you get to this solution? I'd really like to learn more about this kind of stuff... And looking in the api reference is like looking at a bool full of spagheti for a novice like me!

Thnx Again!

Grtz,
Raymon

Hi Raymon,

The API is for joomla itself, check their API site! but the code above is to be inserted in ChronoForms!

Cheers,

Max

Hi Max,

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I meant the Joomla Api.

Grtz,
Raymon

No worries, google Joomla API and you will get it!

Cheers,
Max

luykmhm, you can improve your code a bit by just calling the

Code: Select all

$user = &JFactory::getUser();

once.
Like this:

Code: Select all

<? $user = &JFactory::getUser(); ?>
<form id='form1' name='form1' method='post' action='' >
...
<td><input name='Naam' type='text' id='Naam' size='40'
    maxlength='40' value='<?= $user->name; ?>' /></td>
...
<td><input name='email' type='text' id='email' size='30'
    maxlength='30' value='<?= $user->email; ?>' /></td>

Sounds like what I need -- but I searched for JFactory in the Joomla extensions directory. Do you know how I can get this?

-- Never mind, JFactory is part of the Joomla Framework.

wow, exactly what im looking for as i went on this forum today.
