Adding logged on user to a record

Archived from the Xataface Users forum.

I have a table Projects which has a 1 to many relationship with Notes.
I’d like to be able to add the logged on user to a field in Notes every time a new notes record is added.

i.e. Notes structure is currently

id
project_id
details

I’d change it to

id
project_id
details
user

Use beforeSave() or beforeInsert().

Code: Select all

function beforeSave(Dataface_Record $record){     $username = Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance()->getLoggedInUserName();     $record->setValue('user', $username); }
