Hi There,

is there anyway to automatically populate a field (i.e. a Username field) with the name of the user that’s currently logged in?

What I’m after is that when a user logs in and creates a new record. Their username is auto added to a field (which I’ll hide later on).

Thanks

Paul

Sorted:

Found some old posts which helped:

Code: Select all

function beforeInsert(&$record){     $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();     $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUsername();     //$record->setValue('UserName', $user->val('UserName'));     $record->SetValue('UserName', $user); }

Did the trick
