How do I reference a custom profile field value

[Aetherdan]

Hi All,

I am wanting to setup a widget that pulls stats from an API, based on the username that's linked as a custom profile field.

By using the useful widget plugins above, I've been able to do everything I need regarding displaying the statistics, but my final issue is how do I reference the custom profile field value to populate the username they have saved?

Used to be something like this->User->profile->fieldXX in IPS 3.X

not sure what it is now with IPS 4.X

you can probably see what it is by looking at the default theme Topic View. Would be under the username, before the post.
