# Current_user syntax? Validation error?

 * I’m trying to output the firstname, but i’m probably doing something wrong here:`[
   dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_current_user key='firstname'"]`
 * Also, in other fields (username and email) i thought it was working fine … untill
   i tried to send the form and got a validation error.
 * Any help on the matters would be much appreciated.

 * Already figured out what i was doing wrong. Works like a charm now for the user_firstname,
   user_display_name, user_lastname and user_url.
 * Thanks for the plugin! 🙂
