How to reference custom field with PHP?

Hi,

I have a custom field for Company Name in my user profile. I want to display this Company Name in a table using something like:

<td>
<?php $user = JFactory::getUser($item->created_by); //echo $user->ajax_custom_field->15; ?>
</td>

What is the correct code for ajax_custom_field->15 ?

Thanks

Ian

Unfortunately, I found a serious error to the component!
When I want to access extra fields from a user that is NOT the current one, do not get any extra field.
I checked and all the other normal fields (not extra) are correctly valued.
for example:

1) require the current user: $utente =& JFactory :: getUser ();
There are all my extra fields (example: $utente-> extra is ok)

2) I wonder if the data of another user (by id): $utente = JFactory :: getUser (639);
all the normal fields (example: username, email, etc..) there are, and all the extra fields are NOT valued!

For my needs this is a very serious problem.

Thanks for this info.

But when I follow the instructions I get mixed results.

I am using the code:
<td>
<?php $user = JFactory::getUser($item->created_by); echo $user->extra; ?>
</td>

But it only works when the Super Admin is logged in. For a public user or registered user, the table is blank.

Any help?

Thanks

AJAX Register automatically attaches the extra info only to the current user.
If you want to get extra info for other users you can do something like this:

Very good!
Now it works.
Perhaps it is important to write the documentation for the component.

Thank you.
