I'm using J3 and Seblod 3.2... Is it possible to "grab" the current logged-in user's live profile fields and have a select few automatically populate my article-type form, such as name, address, phone, etc.?
I thought SD Live CCK Field plugin would work ... but this says any field "SD Live CCK Field is a Live Value plugin that allows you to grab the value of any field in your main article and use it as a live value" -- NOT fields from another form. Hmm....
While I don't care if I waste 10Eu and happily support Simon for all he's done for Seblod, it be good to hear from the community. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Albat and Dreakman
Sorry for the late reply.
After installing "user profile advanced" plugin, make sure it is enabled on the Joomla! plugins list. You need two fields - the one which already contains the data you want to capture, and the one you want to insert this existing data into.
Go to your Form and Content Type/Site Form. Go to the field you want to use, click button "2" (live + live value). Under live list dropdown, select user/profile-adv. Click configure and in the modal popup, enter the name of the field whose values you want to capture in "properties". Save and close modal popup. Save content type.
Note that you must enter the name of the field correctly or it won't work. It will throw an error "No Such Field".
I hope this helps
Regards

I assume you want your user data to be auto-filled in another content type.
Very good place to start would be the collection Code Pack (5 plugins). It offers:
Another way might be to use an additional set of user data, stored in user profile (displayed inside an additional tab, for example), such as Delivery options (in case of a cart) or similar.
Using that approach you might just display relevant user data via a Search&List module on a side, together with the form.

You can populate the form, WITH ANY data in the USER CONTENT TYPE e.g. teachers or students Content Type, e.g. 'school'. You just use the 'USER LIVE VALUE' on a TEXT FIELD, and you just write the name of the field you want, as found in the database table.
So if I want the form to populate with the students 'school' he is in (as found in his content type), I create a text field in the form, click on 2 -> user -> configure: 'school'
