Revo 2.3.2
Login 1.9.0
NewsPub 2.0.2

I have a working members area where resources can be created/published by registered users.

I created Extended fields for the member profile: profession, experience and display the value of these fields on the member's published article (front-end). So far so good.

These custom fields are not included in the NP submission form.

Not surprisingly the value of the Extended fields change (on the front-end). Meaning the values change based on which logged in member is also viewing a page.

So my question is how do I ensure the published article only shows the Extended fields for the member that created the resource and not which one is signed-in?

If you use placeholders for the extended fields, the Profile snippet (part of the Login package) should show them. Make sure the profile tag is above the placeholders on the page.
```
[[!Profile? &user=`[[*createdby]] &useExtended=`1`]]

/* Note that the placeholders have to match the
   extended field names exactly */

<p>Profession: [[+profession]]</p>
<p>Experience: [[+experience]]</p>
```
