Show usercontent in form via menulink (not token in url)

Hi, (v4+J1.7.1)

My form works well when using the token in the URL. (also updates via hidden primary key field etc.) But now I want to make the form available via a menulink for registered users, with their info already loaded in the fields.

I tried several things in the record loaders (delete Request Param 'token' and added php in the Where statements) and added Redirect URL/User, but I cannot get it to work without passing the userid token in de URL...

What is the proper way for routing this?

Thanks in advance, rolf

Hi Rolf,

I think (not tested) that if you add a Custom Code action before the DB Record Loader and put in it

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$form->data['user_id'] = $user->id;
?>

Then you should be able to use user_id as the token.

Thanks GreyHead, it works perfectly fine when using the fieldname in the request parameter of the DB Record Loader. Thanks
