Pre-fill form fields with the Joomla user account details (name, address etc)

I'm just exploring using Visforms and would appreciate a pointer to information as to how I can pre-fill Visform fields from data in the Joomla database. Ultimately I wish to save all of the data input by the user in the Visform together with them validating data created when they made a Joomla account. and then saving all of the data together as well as emailiing all of it to them.  Thank you. Nick

Hello Nick,

It is possible to automatically populate fields with data from the database entry relating to the same user.

- as a default value by selecting specific user information or information from the user profile or a free SQL statement:
docs.joomla-4.visforms.vi-solutions.de/e...field-default-value/

- as field type 'SQL-Fields' and the freely definable SQL statements against the database:
docs.joomla-4.visforms.vi-solutions.de/e...ion/field-types/sql/

A write back to the database takes place exclusively in the Visforms own table fields of the data table of the affected form.
If I understood you correctly, then this is exactly what you intend to do.

The following areas of the documentation are of particular interest to you on the subject of sending e-mails.

Send Emails:
docs.joomla-4.visforms.vi-solutions.de/e...issions/send-emails/
Use user data in success message and mails:
docs.joomla-4.visforms.vi-solutions.de/e...in-result-and-email/
Option-dependent mail recipients:
docs.joomla-4.visforms.vi-solutions.de/e...ding-mail-recipient/

Kind regards, Ingmar
