Is this still the best way to get a user's points?

Question

Is there a better way to get a user's points than the answer below?

I can't find any relevant functions; qa_get_logged_in_user_field only appears to get fields from the users table, which does not contain the points.

Answer 1

From the 1.4 developer version onwards, you can use qa_get_logged_in_user_points() which is defined in qa-app-users.php.
