J4! | Accessing VALUE of User Custom Field?

[Bruce Decker]

In J3!, I was able to do this to get the labels and values from User custom fields:

[code]

JLoader::register('FieldsHelper', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_fields/helpers/fields.php');

if ($cspUserId == ''){

      ///deprecated|J3!|$cspUserId = JFactory::getUser();

                  $cspUserId = Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication()->getIdentity()->id; //J4!

   }

$customFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_users.user', $cspUserId, true);

foreach ($customFields as $customField) {

   $cspReturn[$customField->title] = $customField->value;   

}

[/code]

However, now when I view the array of objects from FieldsHelper::getFields, the property 'value' is not present.  I need to read the values from users custom fields in my component.  Are they accessible with another class or method?  If so, can someone point me the way?   I'd prefer to use the Joomla API, but if needed, I could read directly from the database.

Thanks!

I figure it out.

use Joomla\CMS\Factory; //!J4

$cspUserId = Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication()->getIdentity()->id;

$user = \Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication()->getSession()->get('user');

$customFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_users.user', $user, 0); echo '$cspUserId=' . $cspUserId . '<br>';

foreach ($customFields as $field) {

    echo '$field=' . $field->name . '<br>';

    echo '$value=' . $field->value . '<br>';

    echo '<br>--<br>';

 }

There is another way that does not use the foreach loop:

use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
use Joomla\Component\Fields\Administrator\Helper\FieldsHelper;
$customFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_users.user', Factory::getUser(), true);
$values = array_column($customFields, 'value', 'name');
// echo 'values = ' . print_r($values, true);
echo 'fielda = ' . $values['fielda'] . ' fieldb = ' . $values['fieldb'] . ' fieldc = ' . $values['fieldc'];
