Answered Accessing extended profile field via output filter?

    Hi there!

    Is there any possibility to access an extended profile field in MODX Revolution via output filter? So, I know if I want to get a standard profile field I can access this by using something like:

    [[!+modx.user.id:userinfo=`fullname`]]
[[*createdby:userinfo=`username`]]


    Now I'm using an extended field named "googleplus" with the Google+ Profile-ID as value for my authors. So I'm searching for something like this:

    [[*createdby:userinfo=`googleplus`]]


    This doesn't work, of course. But is there a way to handle this without writing a new snippet for it?

      The Profile Snippet may give you access to them, and I could have sworn that there was an output filter to access extended profile details.
