Member details tag parameters

member_id

id of the member where you want to get field details from, when this parameter and member_entry_id is not specified, the details are fetched of the current logged in user.

member_entry_id

id of the member channel entry where you want to get field details from.

status

status that the tag is allowed to pull back. Defaults to 'not closed'.

username

username of the member where you want to get field details from.

url_title

get member details based on the url_title.

Example: In the Visitor settings page, set title override to {member_firstname} {member_lastname}, this will make sure the url title is not using the username or email, but instead use the first-and lastname of the member. Let’s say you are on page /members/profile/tom-selleck and want to get the details of this member.

{exp:visitor:details url_title=”{segment_3}”}
{visitor:member_firstname} {visitor:member_lastname}

{/exp:visitor:details}
