I have a table users, a table groups. The group has an ID and a name. How can I get the group-name of the currently logged in user and write this name in a field of the add page. The user should not have the possibility to change this value.
Thanks
Dieter

Hi,
you can do it using AfterSuccessfulLogin event on the Events tab.

Pull GroupName from users table in this event and save it in the $_SESSION["GroupName"] variable. Then use this variable as default value on the "Edit as" settings dialog on the Visual Editor tab.

I have a similar question. I understand how you can add the username to a field when a record is added, but how can I add the username to a field when a record is edited (I have a 'last updated by username field). Any user can change a record but I need to know who made the last change.
