[ckan-dev] Add user name and email to form

Tue Jan 20 03:40:12 UTC 2015

In your custom form template, you should have access to c.user (just
username) and c.userobj variables. eg.
https://github.com/datagovau/ckanext-agls/blob/master/ckanext/agls/templates/package/snippets/package_form.html#L37

If you turn on debug in your config ini file, you can browse what
variables are available in what template files eg.

c.user: u'maxious'
c.userobj: <User id=d279a17d-e917-4974-8b73-fea65c9068a1 name=maxious
openid=None password=xxxx5 fullname=Alex S email=m at m.com apikey=xxx
created=2014-08-01 12:11:39.987450 reset_key=None about=
activity_streams_email_notifications=False sysadmin=True state=active>

What I want to do is to fill in the fields with the logged in users name and email so that he doesn't have to fill it in him self. How can I get hold of the users name and email so that I can fill it in at page load?
