Email Field - Connected User Data

Hi,

We are providing possibilities for frontend users to upload their own items (articles), we are using contact form to be available for each item and this contact form requires to upload an email in the email field created within FC.

However, each time a registered user will submit a new item, he needs to fill in his email, is there a way that this field is auto filled for connected users? So that, even if the field is present, the email of the connected user is already present and no need for the user to add the email again and again?

Hello,
are all users (that submit content) registered?

or do you use a FLEXIcontent "submit" menu item that allows submission of content by unregistered users?

i think you need to use rsform ore ckform to mix flexicontent submission end registred information

I think this below link is helpful.

I ask because if all your users are registered then you could create a select field that only has one option:

like this:
FAQ article

Just in the above:
1. do not add any prefix/suffix texts
2. in the DB query use: 3. use all other steps described in FAQ article

I think mauriestate wants a function which inserts current registered(author) user's email address into a email field while submitting an item submission form, not the item author's email address.

You mean select email address of any joomla user?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in my reply, it's quite strange, I am sure I select the 'Notify me when a reply is posted' but I didn't! :shock:

Some of you got the point but I might have not been clear enough about what I want to achieve.

We are using ContactForm Pro to provide contact form in all submitted items, the plugin tag looks like this:

Therefore, I placed:
in the prefix text and in the suffix text.

Now, each time a 'registered' user, I say registered user because only registered user have the permission to add new item(s) on our website. Therefore, when a registered user submit a new item, he always needs to enter his email address in the email field that we have created to generate the contact form in frontend so that this contact form is connected to the registered user email address.

Now, micker says something about RSForm, this is basically what we want to do, in RSForm, they use a code like this:

To automatically pre-fill registered user email address, so this is basically what we want to do, micker mention to make a mix between flexicontent and rsform, we are already using rsform on our website but is there not a simpler way to make this working in FC?

We have this FAQ article for Joomla Contact form:
