how to getuser firstname and lastname was created by pgaskin
I have tried using

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$name=$user->get('name');

to get the full name but how do I get the name in first name and last name separately, I tried

$firstname=$user->get('firstname');

but didn't work. Any clues?

Try the following.

[code:1]
$cbUser = CBuser::getInstance( USERID GOES HERE );
$firstname = $cbUser->getField( 'firstname' );
$middlename = $cbUser->getField( 'middlename' );
$lastname = $cbUser->getField( 'lastname' );
[/code:1]

Use whichever ones you're wanting. You can get any field you like.

To review details of the function look in plugin.foundation.php on line 897.

Please note this requires include of CB API if used outside of CB. Example:
[code:1]
global $_CB_framework, $ueConfig, $mainframe;

if ( defined( 'JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR' ) ) {
if ( ! file_exists( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' ) ) {
echo 'CB not installed!';
return;
}
include_once( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' );
} else {
if ( ! file_exists( $mainframe->getCfg( 'absolute_path' ) . '/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' ) ) {
echo 'CB not installed!';
return;
}
include_once( $mainframe->getCfg( 'absolute_path' ) . '/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' );
}
[/code:1]

I also am trying to get user attributes. I am using BreezingForms, and I am trying to preload text fields with user data. I have a form with a "before form" script set to the includes script you provided. Then, for the value of the text field, I have...

[code:1]<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$cbUser = CBuser::getInstance( $user->id );
return $cbUser->getField( 'city' );
?>[/code:1]

When I preview the page, I get the following error...

Fatal error: Class 'comprofilerDBTable' not found in {PATH}/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/library/cb/cb.tables.php on line 16

Do I need to include something else?

Thanks,
Kris
