Additional user profile fields

Read additional Joomla user profile fields in ChronoForms.

Overview

The Read Data action does not automatically retrieve data from Joomla's core user profile fields.
Use a separate Read Data action to query the core Joomla user profile table, or access standard logged-in user data directly using the {user:field_name} shortcode.

With Read data action, I was able to read out user profile data but not the user profile data from additional user profile fields created with the Joomla core functions. Can you give me a hint?

Thanks

Hi kraadde

there is no action for reading the user profile info specifically, you will need another Read Data to read the profile info from the core Joomla fields table

Please note that the logged in user info are loaded by default using the {user:field_name} shortcode, like {user:email} or {user:username}
