Hi forum members,

I try to fill a textarea in Newspublisher over a snippet which works like a charm over jquery

$( document ).ready(function() {
$('#np-Bankverbindung').val([[!get_iban]]);
});

In the snippet I try to reach the logged in User profile extended field "IBAN":

<?php
// initialize output;
$output = true;
// get the current user name
$extended = $modx->user->get('extended');
$output ="'IBAN: '". $extended['iban'];


return $output;

But only the text shows up. There must be a problem to reach the extended profile field. I use Newspublisher is in my Login area and get no direct php error.

Any ideas?

The extended field is in the user profile, not the user object.

Try this:

$extended = $modx->user->Profile->get('extended');

If that doesn't work, you might have to get the Profile directly:

$profile = $modx->user->getOne('Profile');
if ($profile) {
    $extended = $profile->get('extended');
} else {
   $modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'could not get user profile');
}

If you intend to update the extended field in the DB, the second method would probably be better.
