DISPLAY DATA FOR CURRENT USER - Dec 29th, 2010

OK, Let's say that you want to display some information from the current user's account record in your viewer. For example: for user Jo Jones... Welcome Joe Jones, It's pretty simple to accomplish using $CURRENT_USER If you have a field called "last_name" and another called "first_name" in your user account section, (If not you might consider creating them to replace the existing "fullname" field. It's not used by CMS Builder, so you can safely delete the "fullname" field unless you're using it in a viewer) Welcome <?php echo $CURRENT_USER['first_name']; ?>&nbsp;<?php echo $CURRENT_USER['first_name']; ?>, Will display the user's first name, followed by a space and then their last name followed by a coma. According to Jason Sauchuk from Interactive Tools: You can display any field other then an Upload field using $CURRENT USER To display an upload field you'll first need to use the getRecords function to select the record for that user. You can get the userNumber like this: $CURRENT_USER['num']
