How to get information from the EasySocial user profile?

Is there a way to get specific user profile information when I have access to the following information?



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

If not, could you suggest how I might get the profile information?

At the moment, I am specifically after the user's timezone, but I expect that I will probably want to get other fields later.

Any help is much appreciated.

You can try the following code to receive the user custom field data :



// current user profile id

$userProfileId = '123';



$userData = ES::user($userProfileId); 



// find your user workflow custom field unique key e.g. TEXTBOX

$customField = $userData->getFieldValue('TEXTBOX');



echo $customField;exit;

Thanks for that Arlex

I tried using



<?php $timezoneField = $userData->getFieldValue('JOOMLA_TIMEZONE');?>

but xdebug gave me null for all values. I'm not really sure why. I've attached the image of the results below. At the time, I was using the default timezone, so I changed it from default to Australia/Melbourne but there was no difference.

In the end, I was able to get the timezone using the birthday field



<?php 

    $birthdayField = $userData->getFieldValue('BIRTHDAY');

    $usertimeraw = $birthdayField->raw;

    $usertimezone = $usertimeraw['timezone'];

?>

It seems like the Joomla timezone field data stored back into Joomla user table.

I think you can try get the timezone like this :





var_dump($userData->params);



So you will get this data :



 ["params"]=>

  string(116) "{"editor":"arkeditor","timezone":"Asia\/Singapore","language":"","admin_style":"","admin_language":"","helpsite":""}"
