How to hidden field bring logged in user’s name and nickname

Hi @agencia221b,

Thank you for contacting us.

This option is currently not possible with the current values set for the hidden field. I have forwarded this to our Plugin Team to verify if this is possible with some custom code. We will get back to you with an update.

Hey there @agencia221b, Jorge here.

We got a reply from our colleagues with a small snippet to help you accomplish this.

Just create a mu-plugin with the following code:

<?php
add_filter(
	'forminator_field_hidden_field_value', 
	function( $value, $saved_value, $field ) {
		if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
			$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
			$replacements = array(
				'USER_FIRST_NAME' => $current_user->user_firstname,
				'USER_LAST_NAME'  => $current_user->user_lastname,
				'USER_NICKNAME'   => get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'nickname', true ),
			);
			$value = str_replace( array_keys( $replacements ), array_values( $replacements ), $value );
		}
		return $value;
	},
	20,
	3
);

You would need to add 3 hidden fields in form, edit them and set “Custom Value” as Default Value. For firstname insert USER_FIRST_NAME , for last name insert USER_LAST_NAME and or nickname add USER_NICKNAME. Those should be replaced with the according values.

You need to save this file on wp-content/mu-plugins

Hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Jorge

Hey guys, thank you so much for this solution.

I’m a little busy right now with other projects, so I am unable to test it, but as soon as I can I’ll test the code and tell you if it worked.
