• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

fields connected to userid

thanks troester, could you help me to load the php code in the default settings of the element?

Thanks again
 
My answer would be not to duplicate data that is already held in the database, but instead to join to the Joomla users table and access the data directly.
 
Ah - I see what you mean - there is only a name field rather than separate firstname / surname fields.

And yes - creating separate firstname and surname fields using Joomla's custom fields are going to be much more complicated to access then a column in the users table.

If it were me, I would either:

a. Use Fabrik calculated fields to extract the firstname and surname as the first and last words from the Joomla user name field; or

b. create an SQL View on the Joomla users table that does the same.

Ok - handling names like F. Scott Fitzgerald Jr. would require more complex logic, but for Frank J. Sinatra it would work just fine.
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
