Is it Possible to Update a Form with a Logged in User's Info?

It looks like it should be working. I’ve never use the sessionVar parameter, but bassed on the docs I think it should work as you have it. If you look at the source is the username in the hidden field? If so, try adding a name to the hidden field:


Then, in theory, you should have both the [+webShortname+] and the [+userName+] placeholders with the session data. One should work.

For what it’s worth this is how I normally do this sort of thing:
1) Create a snippet named eformUserData (or whatever you want) and paste this into it:



2) Place the new snippet call directly before the eForm call:
Notice I removed the sessionVar parameter and added the &eFormOnBeforeMailSent event call and assigned the name of the function.

3) Now you will have the the [+formDate+], [+formIP+], [+webShortName+], [+webFullName+] and [+webEmail+] placeholders to use in the report tpl.

This is how to use the eForm event feature

Used your code and instructions... got this error on save/refresh

Call to undefined function eformUserData() in /home/teamaddi/public_html/assets/snippets/eform/eform.inc.php on line 377

any ideas?

Just opened the file and this is the line that i think it references.. (bold)
:

# invoke OnBeforeMailSent event set by another script
if ($eFormOnBeforeMailSent) {
if( $isDebug && !function_exists($eFormOnBeforeMailSent))
$fields[’debug’] .= "eFormOnBeforeMailSent event: Could not find the function " . $eFormOnBeforeMailSent;
elseif ($eFormOnBeforeMailSent($fields)===false) {
if( isset($fields[’validationmessage’]) && !empty($fields[’validationmessage’]) ){
//register css and/or javascript
if( isset($startupSource) ) efRegisterStartupBlock($startupSource);
return formMerge($tpl,$fields);
}
else
return;

If I remeber correctly you might need to call the first snippet so :

And possibly have the page uncached.

Bunk58 is correct, the snippet call should be cached. Also the event parameter uses the function name and not the snippet name.

Hmmm
getting confused here....
The page was ticked as cached... it wouldn’t work.... the page is now ticked as ’uncached’ but it still doesnt work and rich text is also unticked.

the page call is:

[[!eformUserInfo!]]

[!eForm? &formid=`testForm` &subject=`[+subject+]` &to=`x@xxXxx,` &ccsender=`1` &tpl=`testForm` &report=`testFormReport` &invalidClass=`invalidValue` &requiredClass=`requiredValue` &cssStyle=`ContactStyles` &gotoid=`46` &eFormOnBeforeMailSent=`eformUserData` !]

it is still calling the form and validating but as soon as i send i get the error code.

Try :

Rather than :

Just the same message sadly.... i have tried with and without the !

I am losing the will to live... i think i will go and be a postman... it’s much easier

I think there is a typo that is killing the app. After the return true; line there is a ] but needs to be a }

My typo, I fixed it in the original post.

Hi
which of your posts was the typo in... was it the snippet ’eformuserdata’?
If it was that i repasted the snippet and the same thing happens... the for tests validation and then erroe messages to line 377 as before:



As this is actaully driving me mad right now I would really appreciate it if you could paste what I need again just to be sure.

thanks
