User Account - Custom Field
Hi

Is it possible to read a custom field from a User account using the CMSContext.CurrentUser function?

If I simply try adding the custom field name onto the end of the function (CMSContext.CurrentUser.myField) I get an error: "'CMS.CMSHelper.CurrentUserInfo' does not contain a definition for 'myField'"

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,

You can use following code to get custom data from CurrentUser object:

CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentUser.GetValue("FiledName");

I hope this will help you.

Best regards,
Miroslav Remias.
