Custom Profile Data Tag
Overview
The Custom Profile Data Tag allows you to display member profile information in your Templates. The data can either be shown from the currently logged-in user or from a specified user using the member_id=”” parameter.
Note: Remember that the profile information for the current visitor, such as {screen_name}, {email}, etc. are always available in any template as Global Variables. Therefore, only use this tag if you need to show custom profile data (that is, Member Fields that you have created yourself) or information for a specific user.
{exp:member:custom_profile_data}
<p>{age}, {gender}</p>
{/exp:member:custom_profile_data}Important: If you omit the member_id= parameter as in the above example, do not enable Template Caching on any Template containing this tag. Otherwise the data will not be dynamic and whoever happens to load the page when it is cached will have their information shown for everyone until the cache expires. Unlike this tag, Global Variables can be used in templates that are cached.
Parameters
member_id=
member_id="147"Specifies a particular member’s information to display. By default (if you do not include the member_id or username parameter), the tag will simply display information pertaining to the currently logged-in user.
username=
username="admin"Username of member to display
