How can you call custom fields in an override for com_contacts

Question

In com_content I can call my fields one by one as follows

<?php echo $this->item->jcfields[3]->value; ?>

The same code does not work in com_contacts. How can I call the fields in a custom override in com_contacts?

It has been years, but if you examine your array you will find the proper value of [#]. You can then modify your code.

Add this at the bottom of your override to see the contents of the array:

snippet: echo '<pre>'; print_r($array); echo '</pre>';
