[Plugin: Cimy User Extra Fields] Suggestion: cimy_uef_data => usermeta

    Hi,

    your plugin seems popular… just a suggestion to enable your plugin data to integrate better with other plugins:

    The structure of cimy_uef_data seems to be pretty much a replica of usermeta.

    Why not use usermeta? This would enable other plugins that can find/deal with usermeta to see cimy data too.

    You’d have to change fieldid to be more meaningful – maybe use the cimy field name as the wp meta key ?

    ??

    (i like to work with wordpress as much as possible rather than creating extra tables – it usually pays off)

    I know, but this is a big change for v3.0.0 of the plug-in

    HI,

    I’m about to install the plugin on multisite but need a way to pull this extra user info/fields in other places on the site.

    How can this be done?

    Can I use standard `global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();`

    and than use field Id to fetch data? If yes, where do I get field ID?

    Looking forward to v3.0 but in the meantime is there a way to pull this data?

    Thanks for the great plugin. ??

    Does anyone knows if it’s possible and how to get the extra fields in other places on the site?

    Thanks.
