Hi sgr,

That's here in the forums dozens of times . . .

You can access the Joomla user object using

$user =& JFactory::getUser();

Hi sgr,

which Chronoforms version is this ? we need to try with RC4 with all browser cache clear!

Regards
Max

i am using 3.1 RC4 and i have never used chrono before so this is the first time i am trying out

it looks like there is a small bug, you need to add the date field name in the "date fields names" field under the auto generated tab and it will work, I will try to find out why it doesn't work!

Max

Hi sgr,

I found a problem with this and fixed it in RC4.1 which I will put online later today!

Regards
Max

Thanks for doing the quick fix🙂

No problems, its online, easy upgrade pack, no re installation needed!

Cheers
Max
