I would like to display specific user information (name, description) for a specific K2 user.

I guess it would be something like this:

if (userID == 123) {
echo <name or description associated with that userID>;
}

all help appreciated.

It is to be used in a search results page, which uses a K2 Category layout.
Here is an example:
odemanagement.com/jak2filter?category_id=18,313,314,316&created_by=270&issearch=1&ordering=zdate&theme=media

As you can see, I've created a temporary solution in the right sidebar, using a very cumbersome set of php conditionals triggering a K2Users modules for each author. I'm hoping I can get rid of the modules, and just call the information I need for each user directly within the K2 categories template override I've made.

The JA K2 Filter uses a K2 category layout to display the search results - so there isn't really any template override outside of a K2 template override.

In any case, I guess I'm looking for a solution that can be used where, and not restricted to a particular override/template.

Essentially I just need to call information from the database about a specific user. I have the user ID (Which I extract from the URL of the search results in this case). Can I do something like print_r to display an array for a specific user? It's pretty easy to do in Wordpress. Hoping it's not too many extra steps in Joomla.

Hope that makes sense.
