When I create a form and link it to a table...looking at the table structure, there are some default fields already built in. Like Uid, cfid and cfuserid. What are these exactly. How can I make use of these fields in my application... is there documentation anywhere? Thanks for your help.
Hi mwhhrci,
The columns are:
[list]cf_id : the unique primary key for the record (auto-incremented)
uid : a random number string that can ge used as a unique identifier*
recordtime : the data and time the record was created
ipaddress : the IP address of the user (if it was available)
cf_user_id : the Joomal User ID of the user (0 for a guest) [/list]
You can use them for anything you like. You need to keep cf_id (or replace it with a different primary key). You can remove any of the other columns if you don't want them.
