Hello,
Would it be possible to get such global variables as, for example, userid of who submitted the form, in place of asking the users to re-enter their information? The purpose of this would be to trace each a form to a user.

Hi,
I have the same question, I have found "almost" the answer in other posts but not quite as it leads me to errors. This is what i understand so far:

I want to also add some info from the user without asking him (if he is indeed logged into my site)
His email address/name/user name

In a post i found that i am to use this
I putthe above in scripts called on form display

Then created a 3 separate hidden fields each with the names:
username / name / email
and added to to my email form

but when I go to the form, I get this
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.../public_html/components/com_rsform/controller/functions.php(836) : eval()'d code on line 2

Rather than putting something in the scripts section, should i be putting something in the default values of each hidden field instead?

How do you actually get global variables into a hidden field (more specifically name/username/email)

Thank you!!!

(Sorry just realized im in the rsform forum but I am using PRO! )

The lovely Bogdan gave me the answer so I thought I would share it in this post. This is for RSForm! Pro only.

In order to capture user information with RSForm! Pro you can create a hidden field in your form for each information you want to get (1 hidden field for email, another one for username and another one for name). Let's assume that the fields are called like this: User1 (for the field that captures the username), User2(for the field that captures the name) and User3(for the field that captures the email). Then you can paste the following code in the "Scripts called on form process" area:

$rsuser =& JFactory::getUser();
$myemail = $rsuser->email;
$myuser = $rsuser->username;
$myname = $rsuser->name;
$_POST = $myemail;
$_POST = $myname;
$_POST = $myuser;

Note that you can change the field names for your form, but please remember to change the names in their respective code lines from the script also. So if you want to change the 'User3' field name to 'UserEmail' you will have to change this line:

$_POST = $myemail;

to this:

$_POST = $myemail;

This worked perfectly for me.

Thanks!
