Administration Joomla! 5.x • Re: Insert User custom field in article text

This could be accomplished by embedding PHP code in the article and getting the user information within the PHP code.

Extensions such as Sourcerer (https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/sourcerer/) could be used for this purpose.

One of the advantages of Sourcerer is that it already creates the following variables ready for use (https://docs3.regularlabs.com/sourcerer ... g-php-code):
$app
The Joomla application framework
$document or $doc The html document
$database or $db The database
$user The user object containing the details of the guest or current logged in user
$Itemid The menu id of the page
$article The article object (only available when using the code inside articles)

I installed Sourcerer and created the following content:

Code:

<p>Hello {source}<?php    echo $user->name.',';?>{/source}</p><p>Welcome to the test site.</p>
Following is the result of this. Notice the logged in user name John Doe showing:
