user sends form without having to fill in their name
i’m wondering how you can create a form that allows a logged in user to send a message, and they don’t have to fill in their name because they are already logged in. i have mem_self_register, ign_password, as well as zem_contact_reborn installed.
using zem_contact_reborn, i tried using from_form=“contactName” – i made a form called contactName and just put <txp:author /> in it. then when the form executed, the email said it’s from contactName <myemail@address.com>
so i’m looking for some ideas over here. the reason this is not in the zem_contact_reborn forum is because i’m not even sure if that plugin can handle this. thanks

You can try <txp:ign_user_info type=“choose one” /> in your contactName form.

Re: user sends form without having to fill in their name
thanks for the suggestion but that didn’t work.
<txp:ign_if_logged_in>
<txp:zem_contact to="my@email.com" from_form="contactName" >
<txp:zem_contact_text label="Phone" min=7 max=15/>
<txp:zem_contact_textarea label="Your question" />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label="Send" />
</txp:zem_contact>
</txp:ign_if_logged_in><txp:ign_user_info type="email" />Offline

If I remember correctly — and that’s a big if — you can do it like this…
<txp:rvm_if_privileged>
<txp:zem_contact_text label="Name" break="" default='<txp:rvm_privileged_user />'/>
<txp:zem_contact_email break="" default='<txp:rvm_privileged_user type="email" />'/>
<txp:else />
<txp:zem_contact_text label="Name" break="" />
<txp:zem_contact_email break="" />
</txp:rvm_if_privileged>But I’m probably wrong. Anyway, hope that helps.

yeah i thought rvm_privileged was the one too, but even before i put it in the form i couldn’t get it to echo a basic statement like <txp:rvm_privileged_user type=“email” />
i reckon because the users are set to have no privileges.

rvm_privileged needs TXP 4.0.6 or higher. Just wondering if that’s the problem.

no i’m on 4.0.8
i can go into the plugin author’s thread and try to trouble shoot if this is the right plugin to do what i need here. you can understand why i didnt start out with plugin author support cause i’m working with like 4 plugins here hah
