Hi,
Is it possible with a php code to fetch the value from a created CB Field to show elsewhere on the side like you can fetch Joomla core profile info's?

Joomla core profile info's can be fetched pretty simple, for example showing a users Email can be done with:
Code:
<?php $user = JFactory::getUser(); return "$user->email"; ?>
Wondering if a similar php code can be used to fetch a created CB Field?
In my case it is a CB Text Field with name "cb_fyritka" located in the "Contact info" tab which value I would like to fetch and show other places as well, if possible.

Yes, you can access the database stored values similarly using CB user object, but it's best to use getFields API. See the below tutorials.

You can also just use substitutions using CB Content Bot if you're trying to do this in a place that parses its content through Joomlas content prepare. See below substitution tutorial for usage information.
