It's a CB field so you can't access it from Joomla user object as they don't join our database table. You need to use CB API for that. Specifically the getFields API or by accessing the CB user object directly. See the below on how to do this.

When I write

Code:

<?php $cbUser =& CBuser::getInstance($user->id); if (!$cbUser) $cbUser =& CBuser::getInstance(null); $cb_phone = $cbUser->getField('cb_phone'); echo $cb_phone; ?>

inside VALUE

Code:

< inpu name="phone"   maxlength="60" type="text" class="form" value="" / >

(the editor didn't let me paste "input" word inside code)
it breaks the full page output

But if I comment the php part, it works well.

Where is the problem?

Wherever you're doing that likely doesn't have CB API loaded, which you can load using the below.

www.joomlapolis.com/documentation/279-community-builder/tutorials/18357-including-cb-api-for-usage-outside-of-cb

The getFields output also includes HTML. If you need raw database values use the below to build the CB user object and access it the same way you did using Joomlas.

Yeah, I thought about it. Thank's.
But it still didn't work.
I've posted this:

Code:

if ( ( ! file_exists( JPATH_SITE . '/libraries/CBLib/CBLib/Core/CBLib.php' ) ) || ( ! file_exists( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' ) ) ) {
	echo 'CB not installed'; return;
}
include_once( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' );
cbimport( 'cb.html' );
cbimport( 'language.front' );

and then this:

Code:

value="<?php 
		//$cbUser =& CBuser::getInstance($user->id); if (!$cbUser) $cbUser =& CBuser::getInstance(null); echo $cbUser->getField('cb_phone'); 
?>"

Then I simply user SQL to pull the phone number from users DB entry. This worked, but for future, I would like to understant why echo

Code:

$cbUser->getField('cb_phone');

is not working .
