Displaying Member Custom Fields in Entries

How Do I?

Hello,

I have some custom fields setup for members, First, Last, Company, Job Title, etc. And they will be able to publish entries in one of the channels, making them the author.

How can I display the members (author in this case) custom fields in my template?

Thanks, Viktor

Hello,

You should be able to easily show that information from within your {exp:channel:entries} tag using the following code:

{exp:member:custom_profile_data username="{author}"}
  {age}, {gender}
{/exp:member:custom_profile_data}

The Documentation for this can be found here:

Hi Russ,

Thanks for the help. However, the username=”{author}” parameter didn’t show anything. I removed and using {exp:member:custom_profile_data} tag inside of {exp:channel:entries} tag pulls up the right information. However it only shows the data to logged in users, which is fine for my application.

Displaying the author’s first name: css Copy {author_custom_field:first_name} Displaying the author’s last name: css Copy {author_custom_field:last_name} Displaying the author’s company: css Copy {author_custom_field:company} Displaying the author’s job title: css Copy {author_custom_field:job_title} These tags will output the corresponding custom field values for the author of the current entry. mapquest driving directions

Hi Viktor,

To display member custom fields in your template, you’ll need to use EE’s tag pair functionality to pull in the author’s data. For more tips, explore Pokerogue and the Pokerogue wiki . Good luck!

We’ve all been there—drowning in tabs, pings, and endless to-do lists. What finally clicked for me? Embracing micro-sprints. Twenty-five minutes of hyperfocus, followed by a guilt-free breather (coffee, stretching, staring at a wall—no judgment). It’s not rocket science, but the magic lies in simplicity: no frills, no downloads, just a frictionless timer that disappears when you’re done.I stumbled onto a tool that mirrors this philosophy—lightweight, adaptable, and weirdly satisfying. Whether crushing emails or squeezing in a workout, it stays out of the way until you need it. Funny how the right tool feels less like tech and more like a mental reset button.

It’s not rocket science—the beauty is in its simplicity: no clutter, no downloads, just a seamless timer that vanishes when you’re finished. I came across a tool that captures this spirit—minimal, flexible, and strangely tiny fishing satisfying.
