TOPIC: Use Joomla Variables in the forms (login-name)

Use Joomla Variables in the forms (login-name) 15 years 10 months ago #7505

I have a form which is only available for registered users.

To give the user more comfort I would like to use the Joomla Variables such as Username and Name and set those values as default in some fields. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how I can do that?

You can use this code in the Default Value of Textboxes, Textarea, Hidden fields and more:
//<code>
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
return $user->email;
//</code>

The //<code> tags are mandatory.
You'll have to look in the jos_users table to see what info you can grab (name, username, email, id etc).

Hello,

There are some similar posts regarding this on the forum. However here it is the code:
//<code>
global $my;
$myid = $my->id;
if ($myid > 0)
return @mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT `firstname` FROM `jos_comprofiler` WHERE `user_id`='".$myid."' LIMIT 1"),0);
//</code>
