How to put user info into the form fields?

Hi!
I have Joomla 2.5 based site with CF4.
Please help me to put user's info (name, address, phone and others) into form as default values.
The form is used by registered users only.
Thanks! )

Hi Cybervizor,

If you just want Username and Email then please search here on 'getUser' and you will find dozens of posts with similar questions.

If you want all of the User info then I have a custom Load User info [GH] action you can download and install.

Bob

Thank you.

I've already installed Load User info [GH] action, but I cant get additional information (such as phone, address, city, postcode etc.), only name, username, email.

Hi Cybervizor ,

Ah, that action only gets information from the #__users table, where are you storing the other information? If it is in the User Profile then I'm sorry but I don't know how to access that.

Bob

Hi, GreyHead!
It stores in #_user_profiles.
May be you know how to get it by DB Record Loader or DB Multi Record Loader?
Thanks.

Hi Cybervizor,

That's probably possible but I don't know how. Can you find any Joomla! documents that describe how user profiles work? I don't think that it is a simple flat table?

Bob

im also looking for an example of how to display in form and send email to user that is logged in. i loaded the action described but do not know how to get the information.
thanks

Hi Dave,

What information do you want to use. If it is from the standard Users table then the earlier posts apply; if it's from the profiles table I still don't know.

Bob

All I want is the email address from the current user to add to the send mail function

Hi Dave,

Add a Custom Code action to the On Submit event, drag it up before the Email action and put this code into it:

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

Put user_email in the Dynamic To email box.

Bob

great that worked... thanks much
