#863 – email of user not in contactform

I thought in the message view default.php

<input class='adsmanager_required' id='email' type='text' name='email' maxlength='50' value='<?php echo @$this->user->email; ?>' />

would call the user's emailadress and put it into that iput field. Is this correct? As it is not working for my website.


Thx for clarification.

Hello,

To know what informations are available in the user variable, you can display a dump of that variable like this :

<?php var_dump($this->user); ?>

The result of that line will give you all the datas contained by the user objet.

Best regards.

Hi,

thank you. Tried out your suggestion and it is NULL then. Any idea why it's working on your demo but not on my website?

Thx,

Hello,

Try to add that line in the php at the beginning of the file :

$user = JFactory::getUser();

It will load the current logged in user, then you will be able to check the content of that object with :

var_dump($user);

And at last, you will be able to call the correct property :

$user->email;

Best regards.
