I built a simple module to just call joomla user info and show a user within a control panel style page, i'm trying to do the same with EasySocial and get rid of the current module as i've now setup EasySocial for registration and would like to call basic user info and show on frontend.

Something like:


<?php

defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

$user = JFactory::getUser();

 

if (!$user->control-panel) {

  echo 'You are logged in as:<br>'; 

  echo '<b>User name</b>: ' . $user->username . '</br>';

  echo '<b>Real name</b>: ' . $user->name . '<p></p>';

  echo '<b>Email</b>: ' . $user->email . '<br>';

  echo '<b>User ID</b>  : ' . $user->id . '<br>';









}





?>
Hello Marcus,

EasySocial takes a very similar approach to this. You can access the user's info via,



<?php

require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_easysocial/includes/foundry.php');



$user = Foundry::user();



echo $user->getName();

?>


The list of methods available can be viewed in /administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/user/user.php

Hello Marcus,

You are missing the php declaration and echo on the img tag.



<img src=<?php echo $my->getAvatar();?> />
