Here’s a simple step-by-step example of getting extra user attributes to display on the quick user pop-up in Jive4.  I wrote this for Walt Austin who is a friend of Jennifer Bouani.

Suppose you have extra fields like this:

You want to be able to display that in your quick pop-up just like the full user profile:

Override the theme called view-profile-short.ftl

<ul>

<#if targetUserProfile.title?has_content>
<li><strong><@s.text name=’settings.title.label’ /><@s.text name=’global.colon’ /></strong> ${targetUserProfile.title?html}</li>
</#if>
….
</#if>
</li>
<#else>
<li><strong><@s.text name=’settings.emailaddr.label’ /><@s.text name=’global.colon’ /></strong> <@s.text name=”settings.private.text” /></li>
</#if>
<li><strong>let’s add stuff here…</strong></li>
<@displayProfileFields fields=fields viewingSelf=viewingSelf/>
</ul>
</#if>

The key is this line:

<@displayProfileFields fields=fields viewingSelf=viewingSelf/>

It’s just a macro that picks up your extended fields and displays it in the pop up.

Make sure to include this on the top of this ftl:

<#include “/include/profile-macros.ftl”  />

(Note:  the path above may be wrong depending on your particular environment)
