I'm trying to add a Facebook box to the profile pages.It works good on the profile pages, I get the user id with user_id=$_GET; so I can do my query to get the proper infos.
But this does not work on MY profile page when I am connected, it cannot find the userid so I started to try that CB API ( very hard to find info about the API btw ) with $my_id = $_CB_framework->myId(); but it gives my ID only so on other profile pages, it shows my id and not them.
So my questions are the following :
Why I can't get the user id on my profile page
is there a CB api like $my_id = $_CB_framework->myId(); but more like $my_id = $_CB_framework->idofthecurrentpagedisplayed();
Many another solution to display a Facebook box ( and twitter ) on CB?
The $_CB_framework->myId() API call gets the current viewing users user id. You need the displayed users user id, which is retrieved with $_CB_framework->displayedUser().
Why do you need to do a query with this? If you're storing Facebook or Twitter user id it should be stored to a user field and then you can just substitute it into a Custom HTML field with the social sites plugin HTML. If it's stored in a different table you can query for it using CB Query Field then construct the HTML with a Custom HTML field and substitute in the query field.

Hi , thanks for your reply, it did solve my problem
I don't understand when you say 'substitute it into a Custom HTML field" .
Ok I can do a custom html field and put the html I want inside but how do I substitue the id number or email for example in this custom html field ? Without a sql query and php ?
how could I display one field ,let's say the email for example ( which is something I need to retrieve ).What should be the code in the custom html field for that ?
You can substitute in user field values anywhere that supports substitutions. In this case the Custom HTML field supports them fine. Please see the below tutorial regarding substitution usage information.
As for the user id you can substitute it in with [user_id].
