Ok, I have a custom CMS page that has an iframe in a block with a url for retrieve and display a weather info. That url needs a zipcode for locate the specific weather data.

What I want is to create a custom field in the user accounts to store the zipcode for each user and retrieve it when the user calls the custom php page to send that variable into the weather url and display the weather info fot that specific user.

I know how to do the custom field part, but I dont have any idea how to call that field and insert it in the url to make the weather info user specific.

I hope someone understand this and can bring me some help.

Thanks in advance.

Code: [Hide]

Explore into users table to look how it's named
