How to use it (syntax)

Place an opening {user} tag and a closing {/user} tag in an article, module, template, or other supported output. Between those plugin tags, add data tags for the values you want to display.

Single-user Syntax

The single-user tag is available in Free and Pro. Select one exact Joomla user by numeric ID, username, or display name:

{user id="42"}[name]{/user}
{user username="editor"}[name]{/user}
{user name="Abigail Bennett"}[name]{/user}

The combined user="..." selector also accepts an ID, username, or display name. A selector may include an authoring comment after a hash, such as id="42#Site editor"; the comment does not take part in the lookup.

When no selector is supplied, {user}...{/user} uses the currently logged-in user:

Welcome {user}[name]{/user}

An empty tag body produces no output. Users Anywhere does not insert a default user layout automatically.

Multiple-user Syntax PRO

Pro adds the plural {users} tag. It can select multiple exact users or filter users by supported account, profile, contact, access-level, user-group, and custom-field values.

{users usergroup="Customer" ordering="name"}
- [name] ([username])
{/users}

See Filters, Advanced Filters, and Output Settings for the complete plural-tag reference.

Output and Conditions

Inside either tag, use data tags such as [id], [name], [username], [profile:city], and [contact:position]. See the Data Tags overview for the supported groups and edition boundaries.

You can also use If Structures to include output conditionally.

Tip: You can enter Users Anywhere tags in the normal WYSIWYG view. You do not need to switch to the HTML/code view.
