How do can I get a field from the current user in an entry point?

André Policarpo over 9 years ago

Greetings,

I added a custom field to the Users and through research I found out that I can get that field by using something like:

<?php
global $current_user;
$fieldData = $current_user->my_field_c;

I tested this out on my local instance and it worked fine but when I installed the module in a online instance $fieldData always stays blank. Anyone knows the cause of the problem?

Thanks in advance,

André Policarpo

Hi Hiren,
I'm on 7.8 Pro and it is still working for me.
If you are retrieving the Users bean in a logic_hook you might want to try disabling row-level security and ignoring the cache:
$user = BeanFactory::retrieveBean('Users', $current_user->id, array('disable_row_level_security' => true, 'use_cache' => false));
Hope this helps,
Francesca
