Store Joomla User ID after Joomla Registration

StingerMKO 03 Aug, 2012
Hello,
I have a problem you might be able to help me with.
I have a CF used for Joomla registration, so I pass Name, Username, generate an auto Password to the Joomla registration Action. Additionally I store more data of the user, like address etc.

when the User logs in, I want to show him a second form to change his data.
The problem is, that in my registration form, the Joomla user id is not stored, so I can not refer to the logged in User.

Same problem: I want to create another form to place an order, so the logged in User should see his pre-populated data in the form.
How is this accompished, when I do not have the Joomla User ID in the initial DB of the registration form?

Hi StingerMKO,

Add the new User ID to your registration table - there's no better answer.
