Hi

I have a form which I would like to autopoulate the name & email fields for users who are logged in, but allow them to change if the wish (ie basically make user details the default text). The basic code for the boxes is below & I'm sure I can get the values from the user info but just don't know how. Any help very gratefully received. 😀

<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="name_container_div"><label>Name</label><input maxlength="150" size="30" class=" validate['required','alpha']" title="" type="text" value="" name="From" />
<div class="small-message">Required</div><div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-From"></div></div><div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="email_address_container_div"><label>Email Address</label><input maxlength="150" size="30" class=" validate['required','email']" title="" type="text" value="" name="email" />

Hi olaeblue,

Here is one way:

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
?>
<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="name_container_div">
  <label>Name</label>
  <input maxlength="150" size="30" class=" validate['required','alpha']" title="" 
    type="text" value="<?php echo $user->name; ?>" name="From" />
  <div class="small-message">Required</div>
  <div class="clear"></div>
  <div id="error-message-From"></div>
</div>
<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="email_address_container_div">
  <label>Email Address</label>
  <input maxlength="150" size="30" class=" validate['required','email']" title="" 
    type="text" value="<?php echo $user->email; ?>" name="email" />
  <div class="small-message"></div>
  <div class="clear"></div>
  <div id="error-message-email"></div>
</div>

Thanks Bob. But I'm getting the following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /homepages/11/d369608199/htdocs/yrcweb/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/show_html/cfaction_show_html.php(109) : eval()'d code on line 7

I have tried removing the ; in

type="text" value="<?php echo $user->name>; ?>"

But it still throws the same error text???? :o

Hi olaeblue,

Apologies I made a typo

Please try value="<?php echo $user->name; ?>" without the > after name

I'll go back and correct my original post

Bob

Thank you. Works perfectly.😀

One more question, slightly off this topic I know but, how come my drop downs are 'not tall enough'

http://s369608217.websitehome.co.uk/yrcweb/index.php/component/chronoforms/?chronoform=Weekend_Meet_Application

I assume it is a css problem as it happens all over the joomla site but can I fix it on the Chronoform with a size variable or something?

Thanks

Hi olaeblue,

It's the height setting in your template.css file here

input,
select
{
    width: 235px;
    height: 19px; // this line
    margin: 1px 0px 3px 0px;
    padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
    font-size: 11px;
    color: #3F3C38;
    border: 1px;
    border-color: #DDD;
    border-style: solid;
}

Bob

Hi Bob,
I Have tried changing it to 90px but nothing changes?
Also if the CSS is "input, select" then surely that CSS would affect both the select box & the input boxes above which are the correct size?

I have also tried changing the input css info below (see code where I set it to 90px) but that also does nothing.

I am doing the changes in the specific template I am using /templates/as002022/css/template.css

All the changes I have done via FTP.

I must be doing something obvious wrong but can't, for the life of me see what.

input,
select
{
	width: 235px;
	height: 25px;
	margin: 1px 0px 3px 0px;
	padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
	font-size: 11px;
	color: #3F3C38;
	border: 1px;
	border-color: #DDD;
	border-style: solid;
}

input
{
	height: 90px;	
}

OK ignore my last, sorted it. I was editing the wrong template.css file😶

Thank you very much
