Custom Profile Fields

[Twilkey]

Can someone tell me if vBulletin has a way to grab a specific users profile field, say field18, in php? Or if vBulletin does not have a built in function, where in the database is the value saved for the specific user?

You can call fetch_userinfo() in includes/functions.php. You're not talking about the "current" user, right, because then it would already be in $vbulletin->userinfo['field18']. Also, if you need it in the postbit for that user's post, it will be in $post['field18'].

Thank you!

You just saved me a database query in a new project.

Cool...of course fetch_userinfo() does a query if the user's info isn't already cached. But at least you don't have to write the query.

Oh it's there. It deals with logged in users.

It never dawned on me that custom fields would be in the userinfo.

Ah...I get it now.
