Fetch Additional information from profile on external page

[jap]

Hi,

How do I fetch additional information from a user by using the user id? Fetching the username etc is not a problem... but I can't figure out how the additional fields system work...

Is there a mod for this or can anyone explain me how I can fetch this data and/or build the SQL?

Thanks
Jasper

The signed in user info can be accessed by using $bbuserinfo[] within a template.
The signed in user info can be accessed in the php file by $vbulletin->userinfo[]

view all the user info with
print_r($vbulletin->userinfo); in your php file. All the keys with that object are there. IE. the userid is $bbuserinfo[userid] or $vbulletin->userinfo[userid];

i pass an $post[userid] (userid from a post) via a GET request in the URL and use $tid = fetch_userinfo($_GET[id]); to get that users information in the target php file. this is identicle in structure to the $vbulletin->userinfo object.


if you are just looking to add the additional profile fields to a template then $post[field#] or $bbuserinfo[field#] are what you need to add. Remember: $post is the posters data. and $bbuserinfo is the logged in user.
