Profile id in code field

How to access user id of user viewing the profile and user id of the profile being viewed in the code filed ? I want to use them in php code.

CB Code Field allows for substitutions. So to grab the id of the user being displayed use [user_id] and for the user viewing use [cb:userdata field="user_id" user="#me" /]. See the below for further substitution usage information.

Note substitutions should always be treated as strings so be sure to enclose it with quotes as needed.

I am seeing very odd behavior

$profileUserId = trim('[cb:userdata field="user_id" user="#displayed" /]');
echo $profileUserId; --> This prints 1668, correct user id

echo JFactory::getUser($profileUserId)->id; --> This prints 0 !

Do you see anything wrong above ?

How to get user if of displayed user in PHP code ?

By establishing a CB $user object as instructed in that tutorial, which links to the below tutorial.

You do not need getFields API access though. It supports substitutions so you can just substitute in the displayed or the viewing users fields.
