Support Forum

Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Field recognition with Mijoshop

8 years 6 months ago #20419 by waitz
Our users register with a mijoshop component ( www.beta.humaniversity.com/register-account )
If they send in the contact form while being logged in ( www.beta.humaniversity.com/contact ) the contact form's First Name field (type=name) populates it with both first and family name from the mijoshop registration fields.

Is there a way I can make an link between Mijoshop's first name field and CE's first name field, and Mijoshop's family name field with CE's family name field?

Thanks

Dear Rajan,

Contact Enhanced gets the Name from the Joomla User's database table. What can be done is something different.
  1. Change the Form Field type for the Name and surname (last name) fields to PHP form field type;
  2. Set aliases to: name and surname;
  3. In the name field add the following code:
    $namearray = explode(' ', $user->get('name'));
$firstName = (!empty($namearray[0]) ? $namearray[0] : '');
$html = '<input 
	 type="text" 
	 id="'.$cf->alias.'" 
	 name="'.$cf->alias.'" 
	 value="'.$firstName.'" 
	 class="inputbox '.($cf->required ? 'required' : '').'" />';
  4. In the surname field add the following code:
    $namearray = explode(' ', $user->get('name'));
$firstName = (!empty($namearray[0]) ? end($namearray) : '');
$html = '<input 
	 type="text" 
	 id="'.$cf->alias.'" 
	 name="'.$cf->alias.'" 
	 value="'.$firstName.'" 
	 class="inputbox '.($cf->required ? 'required' : '').'" />';

It should solve the problem. ;-)

All the best,

Dear Douglas

It really took some time before I managed to get around to do this, but I just did and it worked perfectly :-)

Is there a way to also do the same with the address fields:
Alias: address1
Alias: address2
Alias: city
Alias: zipcode
Alias: state
Alias: country

Thanks, Rajan

PS: The placeholder text is of course not visible in the field type PHP. Any way to make the placeholder text visible?

Dear Kristian,

1. MijoShop: Where is the data saved? If it is saved in the MijoShop database tables you'll have to retrieve this information on each PHP Form Field type and populate the field. If you don't know how to accomplish that we can do it for you. Please submit the Support -> Contact Form for a customization quote.

2. Placeholder: Add the code below right after <input in order to add the Field name as placeholder:
placeholder="'.$cf->name.'"

Best regards,
Douglas Machado

Thanks Douglas. I will check with Miwisoft first where the data is stored.

All the best, Rajan
