Create Page via Template that can get future user info

[Corey Keiner]

Greetings. 

I have hit a bit of a roadblock and it's either something simple or I am going about this the incorrect way. 

I have established three pages.  

Page 1 is a simple form that will create a new page from a template based on inputs on page 1. 

Page 2 is the new page that is created by the form with macros & ifttts on page 1.

Page 3 is a separate page with a form and data.

What I'm trying to accomplish:  I would like page 2 (the new page created via template) to display results from page 3 but only for whoever the current user is on page 2.

The issue:  In the template, I have the Confiforms TableView Macro.    If I set "Filter to apply on entries dataset" to field:[entry._user.fullName], when the new page is created, it's simply hard-coding my name as I was the one who tiggered the creation of the new page. 

I can see just my results which is fine. But other users just see my results too, not theirs. 

Is there a way I can set the Filter to apply on entries dataset to look for whoever the future users of the page will be? 

Thank you.

Corey

Hi @Corey Keiner and welcome to this community

As you create a page with a ConfiForms the instruction you have for [entry.field_name] notations are evaluated agains the values in the record used to submit the form and create the page

To bypass that you can use the asEntryRef virtual function https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions

field:[entry.id.asEntryRef(entry._user.fullName)]

So, on the created page the expression will be as you need it to be

field:[entry._user.fullName]

Thank you Alex.

This fully resolved my issue. 

This was the last major obstacle to closing out this project so I very much appreciate your quick response!

This community is a great place.
