Fill in current user

[mabe]

Hi all,

I am trying to fill in the currently logged in username into a field when editing a form.
This is my JavaScript code:

Code: Select all

if(nuFormType() == 'edit') {
    var refA = #zzsys_user_id#;
    if(refA !== null) {
        $('#edited_by').val(refA).change();
    }
}
sessionStorage.removeItem("edited_by");

It works if i replace #zzsys_user_id# with a String, but I can't get the current username.

Do you have a solution to this?

Thanks very much!

Hi,

You can use nuUserName()
https://wiki.nubuilder.cloud/ ... nuUserName

Code: Select all

if(nuFormType() == 'edit') {
    var refA = nuUserName();
    if(refA !== null) {
        $('#edited_by').val(refA).change();
    }
}
sessionStorage.removeItem("edited_by");

But since nuUserName() returns null if logged in as globeadmin, I use my custom function:

Code: Select all

function nuUserNameEx() {
    var u = nuUserName();
    if (u == null || u == '') {
        u = "globeadmin";
    }
    return nuUser;
}

if(nuFormType() == 'edit') {
    var refA = nuUserNameEx();
    if(refA !== null) {
        $('#edited_by').val(refA).change();
    }
}
sessionStorage.removeItem("edited_by");

Nice!!
Thank you very much!
I had to use === for the comparison, but otherwise this works!
