Hello,

we would like to display a QR code using a field with a dynamically created QR code (image), it is created from a specific working web address. We therefore created the following HTML code:

<a href="xxxxx.com/data=xxxxx/directory/el/component/comprofiler/userprofile/[cb:userdata field="YOUR_PROFILE_URL_DESC"]"><img src="xxxxx.com/data=xxxxx/directory/el/component/comprofiler/userprofile/[cb:userdata field="YOUR_PROFILE_URL_DESC" user="#me"]" style="width:50px;height:50px;"></a>

Trying the above code using a text field type and having the code placed in the Parameter --> Layout --> Profile Value Layout, the desired outcome is not achieved, i.e. the image is displayed but the address includes the whole string/text as is, without replacing the YOUR_PROFILE_URL_DESC with the desired value.

Note: The YOUR_PROFILE_URL_DESC field is actually the username of the user profile being displayed.

We tried various substitution combinations, including [cb:userfield field="YOUR_PROFILE_URL_DESC" user="username" /]


Thank you,


Petros

Use a Custom HTML field to output custom HTML. Substitutions on profile don't need to use the user parameter. For raw database data you'd use [FIELD_NAME] substitution since you don't need the user parameter. If all you need is their username you'd simply use [username].
