help with accessing location key from some Object.

[hitmen33]

alert(pb.data("route").name);    returns name of page
alert(pb.size(pb.data("user")));  returns 16

What I am trying to do is get the information entered in location field under Profiles.   I tried the following to no success.  Perhaps I am missing something and a little kick start would help.  I tried looking everywhere for an Object Model or same code to access this key... I stop guessing and asking for assistance.  The Petes user guide to plugins has been great, but even it says there are other keys to explore, but dont know how.  Tried to iterate over them but also failed.

alert(pb.data("user").location);   returns Undefined

A full object model on user would be appreciative (JSON?) or just how to access this.


Thanks

console.log(pb.data.previewData ? pb.data.previewData() : proboards.dataHash)
The above code typed into an immediate window/console would allow you to inspect all that is available.

I can't remember if location was ever included in the V5 dataHash but it does not appear to be there now so if you need it you would probably need to do it the old school way and harvest it from the mini-profiles if present.

Thank you that help me see what is available and can acess those listed in the Object I see in the console. What I am missing is the ability to extract my Email and the member's Email. Perhaps I am not approaching this correctly, but at least I am becoming familiar with how this works. What I am trying to do is get both emails as I shoot them from a UI I created to an external page where I have integrated a database as a backend. I want to be able to save transactions (basically) a swap site. When a proposed swap (or trade) I want to record it as well as shoot them an email alert. I can do this if I push this extended code to my external code base and then return them back to Proboards. I am doing this through a Plugin. Obviously, I like to think I could have done this through the object, but now I am left to "Scrape" the page. I am sure there is an easier way. Please advise...and thanks in advance
