Re: [pgplast] Adding User Value to field in back end

By Jason - May 31, 2012

Hi,

When a record is created, the user's num value gets stored in the createdByUserNum field of the record just created. When the record is retrieved on the front end, you can access user information through the createdBy. set of pseudo fields.

for example, to get their full name, you would output this:

<?php echo $record['createdBy.fullname'];?>

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jason. That's exactly what I meant (and what I assumed you had already designed in). So createByUserNum is a foreign key for all user created tables.

The docs that IT provides general users of CMS Builder is helpful, but exposes little of the inner workings of the app for people trying to leverage its capabilities. Is there a plan to produce a site or updating document that details CMSB functions, plugin hooks, etc? -(I am glad for your code comments, but in many cases, a go-to source of more detail would be very helpful ;) . )
