Resolved Get Custom field values to use in code

Hello Support,
I need some help.
Easy Profile allow to create many different custom fields, to use in registration forms.
Very nice. But....
I need to 'extract' from user profile (when he logged to the site) its information to use in some html code.
Usually, I create a new variable where I store user array using Joomla command:


$user = JFactory::getUser();

Doing this, I dump content of this array to get value of a custom field I created (my-custom-lastname field), but I don't see any of the custom fields I make.
I see only core Joomla fields!
Because I can always know user_id through command:


$user_id=var_dump(JFactory::getUser()->get('id'));

How Can I subsequently get all custom fields I created?
Thanks!!

So, it's working!!
But this point break the code (page is not loaded at all):
....code...
I tried to put $author_id with "", or '' or without quotes, but I always get the page break!
Mmmm.. I'm getting angry :angry: :angry: :dry:


As I said the correct function is "getValue" and not "get"

Still, you need to use integer for ID, so remove "" or ''

NOTE:
the code below not make sense, you already have ID of user and it is $item->created_by
$author = JFactory::getUser( $item->created_by ); //get 'object' author of the event
$author_id =$author->get( 'id' ); //<-this should give me author ID

The problem is here:
$author= JFactory::getUser($item->created_by); //get 'object' author of the event

$author_id=$author->get('id'); //<-this should give me author ID

If I simply print:
echo ("Author ID is: ".$author_id);

I get:
Author ID is: 158.
So, it's working!!
But this point break the code (page is not loaded at all):
$surname=JsnHelper::getUser("$author_id")->get('custom_lastname'); //retrieve custom last_name field

I tried to put $author_id with "", or '' or without quotes, but I always get the page break!

Hi
$author_id=$author->getValue('id');

Is $author var an object of type JsnUser? if not getValue function will not works.

$author_id=JFactory::getUser("$author")->getValue('id');

This do not make a sense, JFactory::getUser() accept ID of user as parameter, you pass as parameter $author, so I assume that $author is already ID of user.

Main question are: what is $author var? how to get user ID from $author?
