    Get current member name in form field

    Hi, 

    Does anyone know how I can populate a textfield in a contour form with the name of the currently logged in member?

    I can get their email into the form using {member.email} as the default value but I can't get them member name (their real name not login name).

    I've also tried creating a macro that puts the member name and some other details as variables but I don't know how to get them to display in form fields either

    Thanks

    Rachael

    Looks like it wasn't supported, but if you upgrade to the WIP version you should be able to use .name

    You can find the upgrade archive here: http://nightly.umbraco.org/Umbraco%20Contour/1.1.12%20WIP/

    I installed the suggested upgrade and tried {member.name} as a DefaultValue of a hidden field, but instead of the Member's nodeName it still returns the login name.

    Hi, I haven't tried the upgrade since the link is broken and I'm using contour v3.17. Still {member.name} doesn't work. I've also tried {member.text} since this is what I use in Razor without more success. Does anyone know ?
