Fill name and email of current user

Carmiel 21 Apr, 2017
Hi dears,
I just discover Chronoforms (using V6 on Joomla V3.6-5) and try to something very simple (should be), fill 2 fields, name and email of current connected user (both are #__users table fields).
I read a lot of code suggested, FAQ and so on, but none work.
For sure I do something wrong, but unable to understand what.

I would appreciate if one of you can tell me step by step how to do it (or upload hard copy of an example).
If you speak french I would prefer, to be sure to understand all ;-)

Thank's a lot

Hi Carmiel,

In your field "Value" box under the "Designer", just use this code:

{user:name} or {user:email}

Hi again,
I have another question, if I want to fill a form field with a custom field of Community Builder user table (my field is called 'cb_ao_numcarte' in #__comprofiler), what should be the simple method ?

Thank's for help

Hi Carmiel,

There is no simple method for this one, you will need a "Read data" action to load the record of the logged in use.

#1- Events > Database > Read data > set model name to "Profile", select the table, in the conditions use
user_id:{user:id}

Then set the select type to "first matching".
This action should be ABOVE the display section.
#2- in your field value: {var:read_data_name.Profile.field_name}
Where "read_data_name" is the action name in black label.
