Hello Beth,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Yep, it's possible if you are trying to display "simple values". If you load up the file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/default.header.php you could just use the code below to output some values,

<?php



echo $user->getFieldValue('CUSTOM_FIELD_UNIQUE_KEY');

?>

Hi

Easy fix for this, thanks mark

could be worth adding a option in the backend!

Hi,

We will be adding more widget options on field in upcoming 1.3.

Hi Jason,

Great news, thank you for the heads up

You are most welcome Alex

I have just updated Easy Social to 1.3.8
Keen to add and display some fields in this area near gender too. Where do I find the widget option on fields? I am in Editing Profiles Types and cannot see any change from last version.
Please advise.

I can't find anything either. Did this maybe get scrapped from the release?

Hi,

This feature is pushed in favor for some other features currently.

Pffffttt....
Well how do I do this then?
Can you explain very basically for me as I am not a developer but my needs to do this don't go away.
I would like the answer to a question asked at registration displayed in the heading area right near where gender is displayed. Thank you in advance Jason Rey.

Hi,

Depending on what theme are you using, go to the file:

/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe[or frosty]/profile/default.header.php

With the field's unique key, just do a:

<?php echo $user->getFieldValue('YOURFIELDUNIQUEKEY')->value; ?>

Please take note that the value property varies, depending on which field you are targetting. It can be an array, object, or pure string.
