API call to get user profile fields was created by dcas
Hi,

I've successfully used the
Code:
CBuser::getInstance( $id );
call to get user data itself.

What I need to get now is a list of all fields which are editable by the user in their profile. I'd like to get the field names (as they are displayed to the user) and get the associated values from the user object (shown above).

Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

Thanks

Is there anyone who can help me with this? I thought Joomlapolis was supposed to have a good API to get this type of information, maybe not.

Hi, thanks for comming back to me, but that tutorial doesn't answer my question. The getField method requires you to already know the name of the field you want. Before I can use that method, I need to know which fields are available in the users profile, but I can't see any way of getting that information from the API.

Thanks
