It’d be nice if there were an option to show custom user fields and location on the user card.

I’d go so far as to say it should be the default if they are filled out and the ‘show on public profile’ option is chosen.

@tobiaseigen, you had a similar request earlier:

> [@PAID Seeking discourse developer for user card/user profile customizations](https://meta.discourse.org/t/paid-seeking-discourse-developer-for-user-card-user-profile-customizations/31128/1):
>
> We’d like to display organization affiliation name, logo and link (available via custom fields) directly on the user card

Were you able to achieve any of this with a plugin yet?

I have done exactly this at my instance with a simple plugin. SSO fiils in employee location and position as custom fields and I use the outlet and some CSS to position it on my user-card.

Would this be a welcome PR into core? Or is it something that should remain in a plugin?

I am fine to have this in core, if we want it default off we can suppress via CSS.

@Falco would it be straightforward to create PR based on your plugin?

This is something that I’m also very keen on, for a couple of communities.

I guess so! Showing the values is very simple, the CSS is a bit tricky.

I will submit the PR this week.

My users are asking for two profile fields to show under the icon (location, custom data)

This would be right under the icon next to posts.

Having this info on the user card would be almost as good. Is this rolling out anytime soon or more an ‘in the works’ deal?

Thanks!

Please continue discussion (which is nearly concluded) here:

> [@Custom User fields on Usercard](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-user-fields-on-usercard/22662):
>
> I would like to have the ability to add the custom user fields on the users profile to show up on the usercard if filled out. Example. We use discourse as a gaming community. I would like to have users gamer tags (Xbox live, Steam, etc..) to show up on the card if they filled them out in their profile.
