Reading a users Data in v8.5.4

Developing with Concrete
1

In the old way it looks like it is used $ui->getAttribute(‘rank’)
In the newer version I followed the documentation for “Reading Data for existing Users” but the API link is not working on that page
This is what I have so far below but the getAttribute still has an error saying it does not exist

use Concrete\Core\User\User;
use Concrete\Core\User\UserInfo;

$app = Concrete\Core\Support\Facade\Application::getFacadeApplication();
$fh = $app->make(‘helper/form’);

$u = new User();
$id = $u->getUserID();
$ui = UserInfo::getByID($id);

if ($ui->getAttribute(‘rank’) == ‘SGT’): ?> etc…

Instead of

Try it like this

Unfortunately it still gives the same error of Method getAttribute not found in
Referenced method is not found in the subject class

4

Try it like this

<?php use Concrete\Core\User\User; use Concrete\Core\User\UserInfo; $app = Concrete\Core\Support\Facade\Application::getFacadeApplication(); $fh = $app->make('helper/form'); $u = new User(); $id = $u->getUserID(); $ui = UserInfo::getByID($id); if (is_object($ui)) $attrValue = $ui->getAttribute('rank'); if ($attrValue == 'SGT'): echo "Sergeant"; endif ?>

NOTE There is a subtle difference, the comma’s have been replaced with single quotes

Here is an image that shows the subtle difference

is that just a syntax thing for PHP or for Concrete?

Yes it is a PHP syntax error.
