Parameters
This function has no parameters.
Return value
Contact|false — The current contact, or false if none is detected.
Usage
$contact = \Groundhogg\get_current_contact();
if ( $contact ) {
$contact->apply_tag( 'visited-dashboard' );
}
Example
Here’s a pseudo code example for a custom managed page extension.
add_action( 'groundhogg/preferences/profile_form', 'my_plugin_add_profile_field' );
/**
* Add a custom field to the preferences profile form for the current contact.
*
* @return void
*/
function my_plugin_add_profile_field() {
$contact = \Groundhogg\get_current_contact();
if ( ! $contact ) {
return;
}
$value = esc_attr( $contact->get_meta( 'company_size' ) );
echo 'Company size ' . $value . '';
}
