Get contact details from article override

Question

I need to display the contact information of a contact on an article override (addresse, phone number...).
I can get the user with : $user = JFactory::getUser(); but how can I get a user contact details?

I tried using this :

JTable::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_contact/tables');
$contact = JTable::getInstance('contact_details');    

echo '<pre>'; print_r($contact); echo '</pre>';

But it doesn't output anything.

Answer 1

You will firstly need to retrieve the user ID like so:

$id = JFactory::getUser()->id;

Then get the array of profile data, like so:

$profile = JUserHelper::getProfile($id)->profile;

You can now access any of the data:

echo $profile['address1'];
echo $profile['address2'];
echo $profile['city'];
echo $profile['region'];
echo $profile['country'];
echo $profile['postal_code'];
echo $profile['phone'];
echo $profile['website'];
echo $profile['favoritebook'];
echo $profile['aboutme'];
echo $profile['dob'];

You need to make sure you're logged in, else you won't be able to get the information:

Here's the full code with a sanity check:

$user = JFactory::getUser();

if (!$user->guest)
{
    $profile = JUserHelper::getProfile($user->id)->profile;

    echo $profile['address1'];
    echo $profile['address2'];
    echo $profile['city'];
    echo $profile['region'];
    echo $profile['country'];
    echo $profile['postal_code'];
    echo $profile['phone'];
    echo $profile['website'];
    echo $profile['favoritebook'];
    echo $profile['aboutme'];
    echo $profile['dob'];
}

Answer 2

$user = JFactory::getUser();
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select('*')->from('#__contact_details')->where('user_id = '.(int)$user->id);
$db->setQuery($query);
$contacts = $db->loadObjectList(); 
/* one user can be associated with multiple contacts */
if($contacts) {
    /* do stuff with the contact records */
}
