Hi,
I've modified the eventeditor.thtml form and used the "hidden" text fields and harmless defaults for fields that are required that I don't want displayed. This works fine for me as I don't need city, state, zip, and others. I would like to modify one of the fields (Title) to insert the current logged in users name. I tried the to guess what code to enter and this didn't work:



Anyone know what I should put there to get the current logged in username?
I have disabled personal calendars and have no submission queue.
Users are required members of a group so they can edit their own events.

Also, at the bottom of this same form (eventeditor.thtml) there are fields for group (a dropdown), owner, group, members, anonymous (these are all checkboxes). I would like to make these also "hidden" but can't seem to get it right. I could leave these on the form but I think it would only confuse my users (kids, mostly).

I hope my questions are understandable. Thank you very much for your help.

Lisa

No ideas for either question?

You can't use PHP in the templates, so you would have to create your own template variable. Something like in function editevent.


Check the HTML source for the event editor in your browser, then throw out the {permissions_editor} variable and replace it with your hard-coded hidden fields.

Thank you so much, Dirk. I tried both of your suggestions and they worked!! You're wonderful!
