How to pass user id field to Visual composer

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

I want to pass user id field to Visual composer for processing. After a user login via this user id and password, I need to retrieve the required information in the Visual composer for processing. Is there a way?

Btw, is there a way to version control Visual composer model as DC in JDI ? Where can I read more to find this?

Can advise?

Thank you

Sorry not exactly an expert in VC, but you could try the <i>User Data</i> connector that's available in the "Compose" panel. This will give you the portal user's login.

I have used this successfully in an ESS VC model where I output the UNIQUENAME value from the User Data connector to a standard function (HRWPC_AP_GET_EMPLOYEE_FOR_USER). This finds the HR personnel number for the user, which then gets output to the next ESS function etc.

As for your second question, absolutely no idea......
