I’m trying to use:

{exp:member:custom_profile_data}
    <h1>{school_id}</h1>
    <h1>{school}</h1>
{/exp:member:custom_profile_data}

to display to custom member fields I have set up… but, for some reason they are not showing up.  When looking at the source code of the parsed page the <h1> tags do not even show up… so, I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong with my member module syntax.

Also, when I try to display the email of the currently logged in user using {email}, it does not get parsed and just shows up on the page as {emai}.

Does any of this need to be nested inside of some other tag?  Please help!  Thanks in advance!

What version and build of EE are you using? Are you sure to be logged in? What happens when you hardcode a member_id, like so:

{exp:member:custom_profile_data member_id="99"}

I’m using EE 2.1.0

I realized that when I was logged in as a Super Admin, the fields show up.  But, when I’m logged in as a “Member” through HTTP Authentication it does not.  If I log in as a Member through the Forums module, then it does show up… is there a difference between loggin in through HTTP Authentication as opposed to other ways?

Thanks!

There is no HTTP authentication that logs you in as a regular member in EE, you need to go through the control panel or login form. You can use HTTP authentication on top of that in some cases, but it’s no replacement.

Ok, Thank you!

Very good. Please post again in case there’s anything else.
