Hey there,

I am now writing on a new page for my forum to allow users to register something. I think I know how to make the fields they can tipe in something and it is saved to the MySQL-Database of my forum. But now I want to make it so, that the post automatically gets the users name, like posting in a thread, so a user sends his form and there is automatically filled in his name.

And if possible I would like to make the sended forms only able to be seen in by some administrator of my forum.
To make the thing a little bit clearer:

I am not going to do this for you, Just guide you in the right direction...

To get the current user just use:

Code: [Select]

$context['user']['name']
You can find out all the variables in the context by just putting this somewhere in your php code:

Code: [Select]

echo '<pre>';
print_r($context);
echo '</pre>';

You can make your page using these instructions: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=390247.0

Just include all the content you want to display wrapped in:

Code: [Select]

if ($context['user']['is_admin'])
{

 }

Thats allready everything I wanted  Thanks for the fast and great help, you made my day the third time allready

No Problem!

You, my friend deserve a + for that

Thanks for the help! I sucessfully managed to create a page with a form a user can fill out and which is saved to the database. Tomorrow I will start with creating the page where the admin can read those forms. Thanks a lot! (can't repeat that often enough)
