Hi,
there is a substantial documentation for all extension that comes with the subscription on this website (menu: documentations). For the Content Plugin "Form View" you will find a small demo here:
www.vi-solutions.de/en/visforms-content-...-vfformview-examples
for the Content Plugin "Data View" here
www.vi-solutions.de/en/visforms-plugin-d...w/vfdataview-demo-en
But especially a demo where only data of the logged on user are displayed does not make so much sense on my website (because most visitors are not logged on when they view the examples).
What you have to do basically is.
1) Set up a form that includes a fields to identify the logged on user.
You can use Visforms without any paid extension for that task if you like. Just create a field of type text and choose as "fill field with" value the username or the user email. Set the field to readonly! If you only want to allow logged on users to submit the form, set the form access level (form configuration tab "Basic") to "Registered". Publish the form via a menu Item of type Visforms (and set the access level of the menu item to "Registered" if you only want to allow logged on users to submit the form).
Alternatively you can use the paid extension vfformview (the Content Plugin Form View). In this case you create a field of type hidden in your form which will be populated with the username (or useremail) if the form is submitted by a logged on user. If you use the content plugin form view, you have to publish the form inside an article, use the correct plugin string, which is described in the documentation.
www.vi-solutions.de/en/documentations/vi...sert-form-in-article
Use the "urlparams" to set the username (or useremail) of the logged on user as default in the hidden field. Publish article via a menu item in order to display the form. Set access-Level of form, artcle and menu item to "Registered" if you want the form only visible for logged on users.
The difference between both approaches is, that in the later on (plugin) the default value (username or useremail) is set in a hidden field and therefore not (directly) visible to the user.
2. Display only data of logged on user in data view.
You need to us the paid extension vfdataview (Content Plugin Data View) to display only data of loggod on user.
Set the access level of the data view (Option "Frontend Dataview Access" Tab "Dataview in Frontend" in form configuration") to "Registered". Create an article (with access level "Registered"). Insert you custom plugin string into the article following the instructions in the Plugin Data View documentation.
www.vi-solutions.de/en/documentations/vi...umentation-data-view
In order to select only recordsets of the logged on user, you have to use the "fieldselect" parameter of the plugin with the placeholder [_username] or [_email] depending on the default value you have choosen for the form (username or useremail).
As the plugin string is specific for one form you have to create a plugin string in your article for each form which you want to be displayed.
Publish the article via menu and set the access level of the menu item to "Registered".
Visforms tries to protect user data carefully. So you have to make sure, that the data are prepared for frontend data view. They msut be published, which they are not by default but there is an option to autopublish the data in the form configuration (Tab "Dataview in Frontend") or you have to do it manually each time the form is submitted. You have to allow frontend data view on field level for those field which you want to display the data from (field configuration tab "Advanced").

Aicha
