Hello,

I am trying to use a EasyProfile field value for a user to populate a contact form if logged in.

The contact from accepts PHP/SQL in the default value for the field, that looks like this:


//<code>
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$db->setQuery("SELECT `column_name` FROM `#__table_name` WHERE `column_name`='value' LIMIT 1");
return $db->loadResult();
//</code>


Can you help me modify this example code above to pull a users value for the a particular user field and display the text/title (not the database value) for that field in the front end of my form?

I have coded all my values for 'province' in EasyProfile to have a number. But I obviously want to display the actual text for that value in the contact form, not the database value.

Hi,
sorry, we not have experience with RSform and our is a example code, try with
return $user->getField('alias_of_field');

instead
echo $user->getField('alias_of_field');

Hi,

you can use our API (docs at https://www.easy-profile.com/docs/38-jsnuser-object.html), so you can write something like this:
require_once(JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_jsn/helpers/helper.php');
$user=JsnHelper::getUser();
echo $user->getField('alias_of_field');
