fields connected to userid

[peppe10]

I created a form with registered users access.

in the form there are the fields:
surname
first name
freshman

I would like to get the following result:

When the user logs in and accesses the forms with the surname, first name and matriculation fields, these fields should be filled in automatically, taken from the user management database.

There is a solution?

Thank you all

when I log in to the form the fields Surname and name of the user who logs in should appear automatically.

taken from the user management database.

Do you mean the J! user database? Which by default doesn't have "surname" and "first name", it just has "name".

Yes,
with the new function additional fields or with community build
thank you

I'll have to test the additional fields thing and get back to you. They should be available as placeholders, but I haven't tried yet.

No, additional fields are not added to $user= JFactory::getUser(); and so not available via {$my->xy}
You have to roll up your own php code in the element Default settings.

It seems to be a bit complicated to access these fields
