How do I get the "Class Key" value of a user in a snippet?

Can someone give me some direction on how to get/check the value of the "Class Key" field of the logged in user?

I need a way to read this and do things based on the value. Regular Modx users contain "modUser" - Hybridauth users are "haUser" for example.

Any help would be appreciated. I can't seem to get the contents of this field!

You should be able to read this attribute just like any other using the "get" method:

$user = $modx->getUser();
$class_key = $user->get('class_key');
// or...
$class_key = $modx->user->get('class_key');
// or... in general for any user, e.g. user 123
$user = $modx->getObject('modUser', 123);
$class_key = $user->get('class_key');

Is that working for you?

If the haUser class was loaded at runtime, then the rest of the behavior would be dictated by that extension, so it's possible some behaviors have been overridden. [ed. note: Everettg_99 last edited this post 13 years, 1 month ago.]

There's a handy reference here to all the field names available with get():

Thanks all for the tips - it's working. I think I've been building this site for too long. I swear I had tried those suggestions previously and it didn't work... I think my brain is failing me
