Display user profile

I have created a custom field and want to display it in an article. I'm building a reporting page with the following

<?php

$user =& JFactory::getUser();

if (!$user->guest) {
echo 'Hello ' . $user->name . '<br />';

echo '<br />You did the following cases';

}
?>

And want to add a custom field associated with the logged in user... Failing this can you provide the code to simply add the user profile within and article using Sorcerer?

Hello Paul

I am sorry. At the moment, we don't have an easy way to get the information from database. Something we will try to add support for in the next release, but it would take us about 4 weeks to add support for something like that

Is it OK for you to wait?

Thank you. I know it must be a lot work but I think it would be a great feature to be able to pull data out like custom fields!

More than happy to wait for a month to have this feature.

Paul

OK Paul. I will update you when it is implemented

Tuan

This will be very useful.

I currently have a database view I implemented that gives easy access to a flat set of data per subscription. I use it to report on subscriptions using Fabrik. You do need good sql skills to achieve via this route.

I also use ART Data to embed SQL outputs into articles.

Tuan

Any idea on when this feature will be able to be released?

Paul

Unfortunately, I forgot about it. Just added it to my to do list so I won't forgot about it. I could not promise exactly time yet, something we can have it supported in 2.9.0

Regards,

Tuan

I'm looking forward to this feature, too!
