Hi,

This is the code needed:

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();

echo "user is ".$user->username;
?>

Hi there!
Just for helping newbies like me, the workaround I got for this was:

1. Open form in FORMS MANAGER.
2. Choose CODE tab
3. Inside the form code, found the INPUT BOX for username
4. Changed a little bit the original code for:

<input id="user" maxlength="150" size="30" class=" validate['required']" title="user" label_over="0" hide_label="0" type="text" value=<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
echo $user->username;?> name="user" />

It worked fine.
Thanks again for this great extension.

Hi Lucas,

There's a simpler way that doesn't required you to edit the Form HTML (if you do this then you can no longer use the Preview Box to eidt your form inputs).

Add a Custom Code action to the On Load event, drag it up before the Show HTML action and put this in it

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$form->data['user'] = $user->username;
?>

Make sure that the Show HTML action has 'Republish' set to 'Yes' (the default setting).

PS If you need more User info I have a Load User Info action that will grab it for you.
