Hi.
I'm currently using:

<?php $user = &JFactory::getUser(); if(!$user->id){return;} ?>

to restrict a form to registered and logged in users only.

I'm wondering if there is any way to save the username of that user in a table, without having them entering it?

How do I "get" the username, and how do I create that table. Should I do it in phpMyAdmin?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Kizo,

You can make a hidden field at your html called "username", then you create a table for your form, check the username box, now you have a column called username, at the HTML of your form, add this code in the value attribute of your username field :

<?php $user = &JFactory::getUser(); echo $user->username; ?>

How do you suggest I hide it?

Thank you.

its already hidden, its a "hidden" field, something like this :

<input type="hidden" name="username">

;)

Works great!
Once again, admin has saved the day.

Thank you!

Thanks Kizo!
