[SOLVED]updating member profile - username capture

hello

what i am trying to do is when a committee member changes fields in a member profile, the changes are captured in a "history" field (editor text area)

eg change member type ( field cb_membershiptype ) then cb_membershiptypehistory captures it via autoaction into cb_membershiptypehistory field

field set = [cb_membertype] on [cb:date format="d/m/Y" /]<br />[cb_membershiptypehistory]

this is working well and results in a historic list of changes stored in cb_membershiptypehistory

when i try to then caprute the name of the committee member to record who made the changes, i cant find the variable to do it as it always captures the name of the member who's record is being changed.

eg is the committee member name is "mike" and the record being changed is "jane"

[cb_membertype] on [cb:date format="d/m/Y" /] ( [username] )<br />[cb_membershiptypehistory]

will capture "jane" when i want it to get "mike"

can you let me know how to get the name of the person changing the record?

thanks

Perhaps you should take a look at the CB Profile Update Logger plugin from the Joomlapolis Incubator.

yup, works well thanks. what is the variable you capture to get the username for the editor instead of the person being edited?

Guess I just look at logged in person.
You are free to inspect the code of plugin to understand it better.

[cb:userfield field="username" user="#me" /]
