Get e-mail from user profile

Question

Could you please help me how to add the e-mail address of the logged user into a form field? From the user profile, the email address is stored there, I need to extract and dislplay the e-mail address in a form field. Something similar to the name of the user that is displayed next to the "Welcome" message.

I found something similar and i tested it by pasting it in the default.master, but i got an error that a block cant be used in that file.

<script type="text/c#" language="C#" runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{    LabelUserName.Text = Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Name;}</script>

<asp:Label ID="LabelUserName" runat="server"></asp:Label>

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Are you doing this in code?

SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Email will return the email address of the currently logged on user.

Marc Anderson has a jQuery library called SPServices that will allow you to retrieve it easily. You add references to jquery and spservices on your page and you'd do this:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    var User = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
        fieldName: "EMail",
        debug: false
    });
    $("textarea[title='People Picker']").val(User);
    $("div[title='People Picker']").text(User);     
});
</script>
