Oh, I don't want to hack the core at all. What Donna described is what I had in mind. Touching these files at all is 'hacking the core'. Getting at the field validation is just way too invasive. Hopefully the template override option will work out and I won't have to leave the core hacks in place. Every time I tackle one of these problems I learn more, and realize I know even less. It's like an adventure into an abyss. I'm gonna have to start using a version control system to leave digital breadcrumbs. I've got backup files all over the place. > On May 24, 2010, at 10:20 AM, Donna Marie Vincent wrote: > > I would make it a hidden field on the form and give it a value, like > "User".
