Profile plugin - how can I make it work?

thomashkt 30 Jan, 2009
Hi everyone,

I just made a simple form with Chronoform.

I have 2 text fields that I would like to be "pre-filled" with personal info from my Joomla DB according to the loged in user: name and email. Then the user will be free either to change them or to keep them.

I understood I should do it through the profile plugin but I really don't understand how to have it working (looked at the FAQ and in this forum). Could you please explain it to me? Thank you by advance.

Hi thomashkt,

in the forms manager screen, check teh form, click the "profile plugin" link at the left side, choose the table you have your data stored into, leave the 2nd field empty as you need to get the data of the logged in user, at the 3rd field you will need to write the table field name which will hold the users ids!

Cheers
