Hi Mark,
Are you using sessions? If you are, this is pretty easy to do, if you are willing to modify the security.cfc component.
If you decide to do this, please make sure to make a backup copy. Once you make the mods you will have to re-run setup.
Inside the AuthenticateAndAuthorizeViaDatabase function in the security.cfc you
can add code to the following block:
<cfif userQuery.RecordCount NEQ 1>
default code here...
</cfif>
By changing to:
<cfif userQuery.RecordCount NEQ 1>
default code here...
<cfelse>
<!--- new code here --->
<cfset Session.userID = userQuery.UserID>
</cfif>
Now the userID is available throughout the session and you can use it as you
need to.
Just place a PassColumnToAction tag inside of the InsertRecord:
<cf_PassColumnToAction column="userID" type="integer" value="#Session.UserID#"
valueIfEmpty="NULL">
What I have done, in my own apps is to modify the PlumUser table to include other fields which track useful user info,
like last login datetime, number of times logged in. Then you can create a structure to keep track of these session
settings.
<cfif userQuery.RecordCount NEQ 1>
default code here...
<cfelse>
<cfset Session.User = StructNew()>
<cfscript>
Session.User.userID = userQuery.UserID;
Session.User.lastLogin = userQuery.LastLogin;
Session.User.timesLoggedIn = userQuery.TimesLoggedIn +1;
Session.User.rowsPerPage = userQuery.RowsPerPage;
Session.User.displayIcons = userQuery.DisplayIcons;
</cfscript>
</cfif>
Make sense?

Hey there,
I can see from the docs how to get a cookie and set a variable to be = to
that cookies value [<cfset userID =
Application.CookieAPI.GetCookie("userID")>].
How can I then use this in an insert?
Is there a way to pass this value to PLUM's <cf_InsertRecord> custom tag?
Or perhaps insert this value as the default value in a text field in
<cf_displayAddForm>?
Additionally, is there a way to set a session variable and then use it the
same ways?
Thanks for your help.
