Hello,

Use {$UserId} predefined variable in an SQL query. Read here about it in description of "Query" parameter.

Hi again,

I am really lost and have read the reference that you have given me many times but still not successful. I would like to use the where clause with the predefined variable i.e I would like a value such as user id to be typed in by a user and with that input the query will be implemented for the said user id.

I am lost for ideas, please help

Kind regards

You can use request variables in WHERE clause of SQL query. For example you can create a HTML form outside the module where user will enter a search string, click "Search" button and then use data from the form in "WHERE" clause. For example use the following HTML form:

Code:


<form action="" method="post">
 <input type="text" name="searchStr" />
 <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>



and use the following SQL query:

Code:


SELECT
 id,
 title
FROM
 #__content
WHERE
 title LIKE CONCAT("%",{$REQUEST:searchStr|empty:''},"%")

Hi,

Thank you very much for the reply, but I have spent many hours trying to get it right even after your suggested codes I still cant do it. I am just not getting the concept right.

I got the form in an article, wrote your sql query and then use the button in the editor, or am I doing it the wrong way?

Your help still please

Kind regards

SQL query is used into a data source.
