Add Joomla Username to Chronoforms

Ra

Ranger 16 Sep, 2008

Hello,

I have a simple form which I want to tie-in the username that the user already has in the registration process in Joomla.

Ex: Once they get to the home page, they already have a login created by the admin. Once they login, they will see a link which they can click on to fill-out a form. Once the form is filled-out, I want to include the Joomla username/date/time associated with that user in a table. (which the table already saves the form data I created, I'm just not sure how to get Joomla data)

Do I need php code to do this? Am I going about this wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Hi ranger,

2 lines of PHP code will be needed, just tell me whats your Joomla and Chronoforms version so we can go on.

if you searched the forums for JFactory you will find many posts with the same or similar request and code.

I can get the username to appear now but for some reason Name wont appear???

My users have chosen funny usernames but I want their actual name to appear in the form results....

Here is my autogenerated code

<?php 
	global $database;
	global $my;
	srand((double)microtime()*10000);
	$inum	=	"I" . substr(base64_encode(md5(rand())), 0, 16);
	
	
$database->setQuery( "INSERT INTO #__chronoforms_8 VALUES  (
'' , '".$inum."','". date('Y-m-d')." - ".date("H:i:s")."', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."' , '".mosGetParam($_POST,'date','')."' , '".mosGetParam($_POST,'Name','')."' , '".mosGetParam
($_POST,'UnderstandAgree','')."' , '".mosGetParam($_POST,'NoReasonWhy','')."');" );
if (!$database->query()) {
echo "<script> alert('".$database->getErrorMsg()."'); window.history.go(-1); </script>
";
}
?>

Here is my form code:

<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?".">"; ?><!DOCTYPE php PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

  <!-- DO NOT change ANY of the php sections -->
 <?php
global $my;
?>
 <?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");?>
 

<input type="hidden" name="Name" value="<?php echo $my->Name; ?>" />

Hi Mista,

this form code is wrong and iwll cause problems, remove the <form> tags and all code outside it except the necessary PHP code!
