fetch user profile field from database
 

i want to create a plugin to fetch a user profile field from database..

what would be the code?

thanks

If you want the value from the current user (the one viewing the page), then you don't have to do anything - the value will be $vbulletin->userinfo['fieldX'].

If you want the value for another user, then you can call fetch_userinfo(), like:


and the value will be $userinfo['fieldX']. At some hooks (like ones associated with display a user's profile), the value might already be in $userinfo[].

what im trying to do is to insert a custom profile field of the thread starter on the navbar template.. any idea?

I think you can use


then the value should be in $userinfo['fieldX'];
