Upload form customisation was created by Lyn Major

Hi Tuan,

I would like to have the logged in user name automatically inserted in to the title field of the upload form, have trawled the code but just cant see where to mod this?

Any help would be greatly received...

Thanks

Lyn

Hi Lyn

I hope you know php programming alitle to do this modification. Please follow the instruction below :

1. Open the file components/com_edocman/models/document.php

2. Find the function getForm within that file .

3. Add the line of code below to the end of that function :

Code:

if (!$id)
    $form->setValue('title', null, JFactory::getUser()->get('username'));

After that, it should work as expected .

Hi Tuan,

Thanks, worked a treat!!

I also added a date/time stamp:

Code:

if (!$id)
		
$datestamp = date('_d-m-Y_H:i:s');
$usernametitle = JFactory::getUser()->get('username');
$usertitle = $usernametitle.$datestamp;

$form->setValue('title', null, $usertitle);

Great support !

Regards

Lyn
