Use tags like [FIRST_NAME] [LAST_NAME] in articles

Is it possible to use information from Membership Pro fields like [FIRST_NAME] [LAST_NAME] elsewhere in Joomla? I would like to create welcome pages (articles) which display a users real name using these tags and maybe others from custom fields.

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks
Chas.

Hello Chas

Unfortunately, this feature is not supported.

Oh, that's a shame,, maybe I'll pull the data directly from the Joomla core database then.

Appreciate the response,

Chas.

I would really like to use the membership_id in articles, I have a badge that we have created and to be able to use some of the user info tags from Membership Pro would be great.

Or how about using something like php? <?php echo $user-> [MEMBERSHIP_ID];?>
Can this be done?

I found this Joomla Extension Nice User Info, which allows me to easily pull in data from the Joomla dB, works good.

extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extensi...ings/nice-user-info/

Their site is having issues I get ( Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL. )
can it pull from an table in the database?

That says their site is corrupted. Their support was non existent anyway but I used their code.

Send me a PM on here and I'll email the free version, which just pulls username from the user table of the JDb So yes, to your question.

I appreciate that but I really need the membership_id field and plan field.

This would require developing a content plugin, I think. I will try to have it ready for you in the next two weeks

You can embed code in an article. I use to create SQL scripts that I want to run from a menuitem.

It should do the trick and its free.
