[SOLVED] Display canvas-image-url in other content or module?

I don't know what to tell you. Copying and pasting exactly what I provided you above worked perfectly fine. Please see the below.




Ensure you've the latest CB Content Bot installed and enabled. Ensure the canvas field is actually visible to the user you're trying to display it to. By default CB Content Bot substitutions act on the article user, not the viewing user. You can change this by adding user="#me" to the substitution as follows or globally by editing CB Content Bot parameters.

Hey Kyle,
you are completely right!! I just figured out my problem: I had set the field and/or the tab including the field to hidden. now I just tried everything and got it working at all. To get is running in my code, I created a query-field for the canvas-field in comprofiler-table. Then I moved the new field to a "Not in profile" tab and now it works as expected..
The avatar-field always was published, so it worked fine from the beginning.....

Thank you for your patient help and sorry for my little fail here..

Besides: The query-field uses the substitution [USER-ID] for the user-id. Can I substitute the User-ID of the currently shown userprofile`of another user, which the logged in user is just watching?

Best regards,
Stefan

Have you checked out the slightly out-dated, but still awesome tutorial? www.joomlapolis.com/support/tutorials/107-use-cases/18353-using-substitutions-throughout-cb

I'm not sure why you need a query field. Just ensure the canvas field is set to display on profile. If you don't want it actually displayed on profile then move it to a tab in a not shown on profile position, but leave its parameter to display on profile and it'll be able to substitute in fine.

Yes, you can specify whatever user you want for a substitution. For example user="#me" will substitute information from the viewing user or user="42" substitutes information from the user with an id of 42. Please see the substitutions tutorial below.

I used the query-module to extract the path of the image. the canvas field itself uses some more code around. but in the meantime, I solved it as you mentioned. Works fine! Once again, thank you..

Hi Kyle

I can't find how to put 'canvas' in background image. (module or article)
Is it possible ?

Thank you.
