Hi guys, i think this is pretty easy but i can't find any info on how to do it ...

How do you get the profile type for a user and show info only if profile types match the one desired ?
Let me simplify this ..

Let's assume we have 2 profile types defined in EasySocial:
ID1 - Regular User
ID2 - Business User


In joomla articles (and other parts of our website / "outside" easysocial pages / article list, content modules and so on ...) i need to check if the author matches a specific user profile in EasySocial.

Something like ....

If (the author profile type in EasySocial is ID2) {
****** show this info ******
}

I think it's pretty easy to access the profile type and check if the user have a specific profile type, but i can't find any info on how to do it.

Any tips will help ! Thanks !
Hello Mist,

You can try use this code:


$file = JPATH_ROOT . '/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/easysocial.php';

// Include the engine file.

require_once($file);



$userId = 199; // get the user id for that author

$user = ES::user($userId);



// if the profile for this user is 2, do something

if ($user->profile_id == 2) {



}


Hope this helps.
