Hello,

I am using Chronoforms v4 in Joomla 2.5 website,
this website i build from scratch with Joomla 3.4.8 with Chronoforms v5, and
building new forms with some code from chronoforms v4 .

This code works in chronoforms v4 in Formatted Text Element:
<?php
// Get user-information from Joomla
$user = &JFactory::getUser();
?>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: large;">Hello <?php echo $user->name; ?></span></strong></span></p>

this shows Hello < name of cuurent user logged in > in the form

I have read that the Custom element in V5 is the same as Formatted Text from v4
but that code above gives me an error and does not show the <name of current user> but error :
administrator/components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/actions/html/html.php(263) : eval()'d code on line 3

what could be the solution?
Thanks
Jac

HI Jac,

Please remove the & from line 3 of the custom code - there have been some changes in PHP.
