Get Logged In User's Email ID

Frappe Framework Custom Script
5

Never Mind , I fixed it by creating custom function in utils (frappe/frappe/utils/init.py)

def get_email(user=None):
	p = frappe.db.get_value("User", user, ["email"], as_dict=True)
	return p

example using it : frappe.utils.get_email(frappe.session.user);

@srajelli, Actually when you use frappe.session.user then you get current logged in user and this is email_id of that user, so not need to use get_value method again.

Thanks, Priya

I tried using frappe.session.user but username was returned rather than email_id. Just for the record I am actually using an older version of frappe

How can we get User full name from session??

I need this too. You found a solution?

EDIT: Is there a way to prefill a doctype with values, which we can not get by Customize Form?

I tried to add the full_name of the current user to a custom field, but I couldn’t get it work by Customize Form. By JavaScript/jQuery, I would need a seperate AJAX request, just to get the full user name, as following:

#client side in mycustomdoctype.js

		frappe.call({
			method: "mycustomapp.utils.get_full_user_name",
			args: {"user": frappe.session.user },
			callback: function(r) {
				if(r.message) {
					frm.set_value("current_user", r.message)
				}
			}
		});

#server side

@frappe.whitelist()
def get_full_user_name(user=None):
	p = frappe.db.get_value("User", user, "full_name")
	return p

As this may be useful for someone, I like to post it here, but as I wrote, it it a separate AJAX request, for a very basic information.

Is there a way to solve it server side?

EDIT: For a client side solution, use sione solution below:

(we are still searching for a server side solution, without the need of a separate AJAX request)

This is what I used to get the user fullname

var Current_User = user;
frappe.call({
	method:"frappe.client.get",
	args: {
		doctype:"User",
		filters: {'email': Current_User
		},
	},
	callback: function(r) {
		cur_frm.set_value("User_Full_Name", r.message["full_name"]);
	}
})

Good solution! Better than mine. It reduces the need of custom server side scription.

@sione, @ci2016,

To get the logged in User’s fullname you can use the frappe.user.full_name(uid) in custom script directly no need to use the frappe.call to fetch the user_info as it is already available.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot…much easier solution

14

Thank you. Where does uid come from?

Reference Error: uid is not defined

15

@ci2016,

uid is the user’s email id, you can get the uid from frappe.session.user variable

Excuse me:

i need to add custom filed in quotation
name it

Quotation By
and this filed take its data from the current login user

For example if the login user is
abc@abc.com
so when this user make a quotation
the filed will automatically take its name
as the one who made this quotation
how can i achieve this ?

best regards .

I would find this useful too

18

Its already there u can check the owner field in the db.

Regards

19

also create a int field called valdone so you don’t keep overwriting every time you save

frappe.ui.form.on("Quotation",{
	validate: function(frm) {
			if(cur_frm.doc.valdone !== 1 ){
		frappe.call({
			method: "frappe.client.get",
			args: {
				doctype: "User",
				filters: {"email":user}    
			},
			callback: function(r) {
				
					frm.set_value("quotation_by", r.message.full_name);		
					frm.set_value("valdone", 1);					
			}
		})
			}
	}
	});

@Julian_Robbins @ kindly check my answer

Hi @makarand_b

This solution returns the value “You” instead of the actual name of the user!

Kind regards,

22

For fetching logged in user’s ID, try

frappe.session.user

Hi @jaichavan

This works fine for user ID though I was also hoping to get the actual Full Name

Thanks a lot

For seeking Full Name, try:

frappe.session.user_fullname
