Issue/Request: 

I’d also like to implement the auto-fill from CAS described here: http://yalesites.yale.edu/yalesites-forum/can-you-pull-cas-info-webform.  I tried setting default values for name, email, phone:

[cas:ldap:displayname]

[cas:ldap:mail]

[cas:ldap:telephonenumber]

But when i log in to test the form (http://library.medicine.yale.edu/content/literature-search-request), it’s not auto-filling.  I am guessing I’m using the wrong tokens?

Hello Andrew,

It could very well be the tokens. Try the following:

[current-user:field_display_name]
[current-user:mail]
[current-user:field_phone]

Thanks, Josue.  i tried those tokens, and it looks like it is pulling from Drupal user profiles as opposed to the CAS data – the email address and the Drupal user name auto-fills, but the phone number doesn’t.  I just emailed Eamonn Crowley-Edge to see if he’d be willing to tell me what worked for him.

I see. Let us know what you find out. In the mean time I noticed it is pulling my phone number, but not the name.

How about the following:

[current-user:cas:ldap:displayname]

[current-user:cas:ldap:mail]

[current-user:cas:ldap:field_phone]

YES!  That worked, with one exception (“[current-user:cas:ldap:telephonenumber]” instead of “[current-user:cas:ldap:field_phone]”.)  You’re the best.  Have a great weekend!

Thanks. Glad it worked. Have a great weekend.
