2 seconds after I found that there were custom attribute template examples in examples/themes that gave me the nuance that is missing or lost on me in the documentation. You need to use the format “user.attributes.mobile” everywhere except when rendering the value from the model. There you use ${account.attributes.mobile} for the interpolation. Any chance those could match and both be account.attributes.<blah> rather than be different? <div class="form-group ${messagesPerField.printIfExists('user.attributes.mobile','has-error')}"> <div class="col-sm-2 col-md-2"> <label for="user.attributes.mobile" class="control-label">${msg("mobile")}</label> <span class="required">*</span> </div> <div class="col-sm-10 col-md-10"> <input type="text" class="form-control" id="user.attributes.mobile" name="user.attributes.mobile" value="${(account.attributes.mobile!'')?html}"/> </div> </div> -Jason From: <keycloak-user-bounces@lists.jboss.org<mailto:keycloak-user-bounces@lists.jboss.org>> on behalf of Jason Axley <jaxley@expedia.com<mailto:jaxley@expedia.com>> Date: Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at 9:02 PM To: "keycloak-user@lists.jboss.org<mailto:keycloak-user@lists.jboss.org>" <keycloak-user@lists.jboss.org<mailto:keycloak-user@lists.jboss.org>> Subject: [keycloak-user] Custom user attribute documentation correct? Is the documentation here accurate for v1.9.0-Final? http://keycloak.github.io/docs/userguide/keycloak-server/html/custom-user... It says (for the user account profile pages, for example) that attributes must be of the form like “user.attributes.mobile” but if you do this, Freemarker can’t render the template. I can render it if I use “account.mobile”, however it’s not displaying the data that is definitely there on the user profile (I can see it as an administrator on the Attributes tab). <div class="form-group ${messagesPerField.printIfExists('account.mobile','has-error')}"> <div class="col-sm-2 col-md-2"> <label for="account.mobile" class="control-label">${msg("mobile")}</label> <span class="required">*</span> </div> <div class="col-sm-10 col-md-10"> <input type="text" class="form-control" id="account.mobile" name="account.mobile" value="${(account.mobile!'')?html}"/> </div> </div> -Jason Jason Axley Sr. Security Engineer, Expedia Worldwide Engineering Team 425-679-4157 (o) | 206-484-2778 (m) | 206-55-AXLEY (gv) 333 108th Ave NE, 9S-282, Bellevue, WA 98004 EWE Security Wiki<https://confluence/display/POS/EWE+Security>
