Easy way to access client data in the pre-calculate field of a form?

[deckard]

Hi!

Is there an existing data object for the client I could use in the pre-calculate field of a form? If yes how would I access it?
I would need at least the current client ID so I can query the database for the detailed data?

Thank you in advance.

At the time the pre-calculate is called, there might not be a client at all. If there is an existing client, the entity ID would normally be posted in $_POST['nbill_entity_id'] (and you would need to load the rest of the data from the database), but if a new user is signing up on an order form, that will not be populated. If you do use the posted ID value, beware: the value can easily be spoofed. You would have to verify that it belongs to the currently logged in user. So I guess the answer is no! There is no easy way!

Ok, I will go from the currently logged-in user then. Well, it maybe a suggestion for future version to provide this some easier way .

Thank you!
