how to insert logged in user details like username

Hello,

I have just now made a simple form. But i want to insert the username and email id of the user already logged in into the form either as label or as hidden text... anyway but i want it emailed into the results.

Below is the code i put into chronoengine.

Thankyou in advance,

Hi,

Wherever you want to put the current user username or email, use this :
username:

<?php echo $my->username; ?>

email :

<?php echo $my->email; ?>

unique userid at the database :

<?php echo $my->id; ?>

Cheers

Max

Hello,

I inserted below code on top of the form.

<?php echo $my->username; ?>
<?php echo $my->email; ?>
<?php echo $my->id; ?>

The form is not showing.

here is the link

http://test2.harmony000.org/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=free_teletherapy&Itemid=51

login username : abc
password : 123456

You have to login to see the form.

Thanks,

Devang

Hi beadsboy,

What shows up in the html is

<form . . . >
<table...>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input id="name" type="text" chronoform="" value=" 
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>

The input line cuts off after the 'value="' What was in there in your form html?

I think the code should be something like:

<?php global $my; ?>
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $my->username; ?>" />
<input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $my->email; ?>" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />

Hi CD,

You can do this using a very simply SQL statement and run it at the top of your HTML, at the top of your HTML add this code :

<?php
global $database,$my;
if($my){
$database->setquery("SELECT * FROM #__yourtablename WHERE user_id = '".$my->id."'"«»);
$rows = $database->loadObjectlist;//now $rows is a list of results!!e.g:$rows[0]->username
}
?>

Hello - saw you were online and thought I'd ask for advise. I am new to coding and would like to insert the [info] below from my joomla databases automatically. But I don't have a clue...

The component I am using is RedEvent. Thanks DB 😶

Hi desertbabe,

If you are using redEvent then wouldn't it be simpler to use RedForm with it? I'm sure you could use ChronoForms but it may not be a straightforward task for a new coder.

Bob

Hi 😶 yes, I suppose that would work. I am using RedForm for event registration.

Just to make sure that I understand correctly - if I create a form to "insert" into the email it should automatically include all the data I need in the email notification ??

How do I get the form into the email, copy the {redform}formnumber{/redform} into the email?

Funny, some programming issues I can get and solve in a minute - this one has me stumped. Sorry to be so dense. Ellie

Hi Ellie,

If you create a form; create a valid, enabled email block and enable emails in the General tab (there's a tutorial in the DownLoads section that steps through this), then ChronoFroms will create a default email template with all your form info in it. The template is good for text and text area fields but needs editing for checkbox and radio groups. You may anyhow find that it doesn't suit your style but at least you have a template to work from.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'getting the form in the email'? ChronoForms creats forms for Joomla pages - it might be possible to get one into an email but this isn't a built-in feature.

Bob

Hi Bob
Thanks for the advise. I have downloaded Chronoforms and will see what I can do. If I get stuck, I'll see you back here in a couple of days. 😲
