UserBlurb Partially Appearing in Separate Template

[CaptainMorgan]

In the member_list_item template, there is the following line:

<div class="userBlurb dimmed">{xen:helper userBlurb, $user}</div>

This allows for something like the following:

Website Manager, Male, from North Texas

I'm trying to duplicate this feature on a page, within an addon, yet the code is identical:

<div class="userBlurb dimmed">{xen:helper userBlurb, $user}</div>

The problem is that instead of saying ", from <location>", it is missing entirely. So you have the following:

Website Manager, Male

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Thanks!

It's possible the $user record doesn't contain the data.

You can dump $user on each page/template to see the difference.

{xen:helper dump, $user}

Thank you Brogan.

Not only does it not contain the data, but it does not include nearly as many fields as when I dump the data for the XF Member's page.

So this is a coding issue... do you know which source file I need to investigate so I can see why there are fields that are getting skipped, when it's not the Member's page? IE: it appears I'm running into this sort of problem:

If it is the Member's page, include all fields. Otherwise, include a portion of them.

Cheers

The data has to be fetched using a query.

Only the add-on developer can really change that.

The data has to be fetched using a query.

That I can do. Thank you - just what I needed. For some reason I didn't think it would be a problem with the addon.

Ah, if anyone has a similar problem with the above, the problem is that my page is missing a query for the xf_user_profile table. The Member's page seems to make more than one query: xf_user obviously, and xf_user_profile table among them.
