DB Read Data Help

I'm trying to load a users previously entered form data by filtering the DB read using their user_id

custom code on load (this works fine):

<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$userid = $user->id;
echo $userid;
?>

db read where condition:

<?php
return array($userid => 'user_id');
?>

debug:

Array
(
    [read_data11] => Array
        (
            [log] => Array
                (
                    [0] => SELECT COUNT(`table_data`.`aid`) AS `table_data.count` FROM `josxr_chronoengine_chronoforms_data_strategies` AS `table_data` WHERE `table_data`.`user_id` = '';
                    [1] => SELECT `table_data`.`aid` AS `table_data.aid`, `table_data`.`user_id` AS `table_data.user_id`, `table_data`.`created` AS `table_data.created`, `table_data`.`modified` AS `table_data.modified`, `table_data`.`instausername` AS `table_data.instausername`, `table_data`.`instapassword` AS `table_data.instapassword`, `table_data`.`st1action` AS `table_data.st1action`, `table_data`.`st1target` AS `table_data.st1target`, `table_data`.`st1hashtags` AS `table_data.st1hashtags`, `table_data`.`st1followersof` AS `table_data.st1followersof`, `table_data`.`st1geolocation` AS `table_data.st1geolocation`, `table_data`.`st2action` AS `table_data.st2action`, `table_data`.`st2target` AS `table_data.st2target`, `table_data`.`st2hashtags` AS `table_data.st2hashtags`, `table_data`.`st2followersof` AS `table_data.st2followersof`, `table_data`.`st2geolocation` AS `table_data.st2geolocation`, `table_data`.`st3action` AS `table_data.st3action`, `table_data`.`st3target` AS `table_data.st3target`, `table_data`.`st3hashtags` AS `table_data.st3hashtags`, `table_data`.`st3followersof` AS `table_data.st3followersof`, `table_data`.`st3geolocation` AS `table_data.st3geolocation`, `table_data`.`st1frequency` AS `table_data.st1frequency`, `table_data`.`st2frequency` AS `table_data.st2frequency`, `table_data`.`st3frequency` AS `table_data.st3frequency` FROM `josxr_chronoengine_chronoforms_data_strategies` AS `table_data` WHERE `table_data`.`user_id` = '' LIMIT 30;
                )

            [var] => Array
                (
                )

        )

)

If I change the order in the return array I get a missing column error on the page that doesnt load, this is the only method that has allowed me to actually debug; I just cannot get a variable to be passed to the where statement.

If I use the html version:

user_id:756

it works fine, but I obviously cannot change the string '756' to a variable using the html.

Any help appreciated as I'm reaching the end of my rope trying to this out.

Hi Vauthe,

You do not need the custom code in v6, all your need is this code in the where conditions box:

user_id:{user:id}

This is called a shortcode, its explained in the Chronoforms v6 manual and in the FAQs

Best regards,
