Meteor, MongoDB get part of array through subscription

Question

I have a question about how to just get a certain element of an array using MongoDB and MeteorJS. I have the following schema for the user document:

    bank

It looks like you're just missing the "fields" specifier in your "userBankAdvanced" publish function. I wrote a test in meteorpad using your example and it seems to work fine. The bank id is hardcoded for simplicity there.

So instead of

return Meteor.users.find({_id:this.userId,"bankList.id": bankId}, {'bankList.$': 1});

try using

return Meteor.users.find({_id:this.userId,"bankList.id": bankId}, {fields: {'bankList.$': 1}});
