USAGE:

use [userinfo field="fieldname"]some content[/userinfo] or [authorinfo field="fieldname"]some content[/authorinfo] shortcodes in your post content to show the "fieldname" meta value from the user-meta for the current logged-in user or for the post author without editing your theme files.

EXAMPLES:

[userinfo field="last_name"]{{empty}}[/userinfo]

returns the last name of the current logged-in user. If no user is logged in then the value is empty string

[userinfo field="user_login" if="admin"]You are the admin[/userinfo]

this shortcode tests the field against the value and if true it displays the included content

[userinfo field="user_login"] is your username and you are reading a post by [authorinfo field="user_login"]{{empty}}[/authorinfo].[/userinfo]

this will display the username followed with the processed content. Note: never use the nested shortcode same as the enclosing shortcode. This will produce unexpected results!

[userinfo nospan="true"] should eliminate the surrounding span tag so the output can be used inside URLs or similar applications

[userinfo field="avatar" size="50"] will display the logged-in user's avatar with the size of 50px. The display depends of theme's css class 'avatar'
