How do I make a field default to the member's name/address/id?
Up to Table of ContentsThis FAQ applies to: Any version.
In the field's override fieldset, set the Default Expression to:
here/memberEmail
memberEmail is a method of the form folder which will return a member's e-mail address, if one is available, and an empty string otherwise.
You may also use "here/memberFullName" to get the member's name, and "here/memberId" to get the login id.
Please note: memberEmail, memberFullName and memberId are just a convenience facility of PloneFormGen. They are not part of the Plone API.
