    I’m trying to set up a leader boards of different workouts for a karate website. I’ve set is up so that users can enter their record for different exercises in different profile fields.

    How do I collect the information from their profile fields so I can rank the users in a giant list?

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hi Tat,

    You can try using the user-data shortcode:

    [user-data field_name='record_field_name']

    I’m not sure this will do exactly what you’d want it to do, you could also take the information directly from your database.

    Okay, that makes sense.

    Really what I’m trying to do is that the user profile has fields like “push ups”, “squats”, “pull ups”, etc. Then after collecting the information, I want to make a table that displays everyone’s numbers.

    So, say I have ten users, I want to make a table that ranks the users by how many push ups they can do. Then I want to display the top three users like :

    Push Ups:

    Danny 112
    Greg 94
    Bob 93

    I know how to get the information ranked, the big problem is that I don’t know how to get the user information for each individual user.

    Thanks!

    Hi Tat,

    We’ll look into expanding the [user-data] tag so that uses like yours are more easily accomplished. You’d need to go to your database table, and run a select query to get the results based on the “push-up” field ID at this time unfortunately.
