I am trying to customize the user-profile.tpl.php file.

I can access the all custom fields using $user_profile['field_fieldname'], and I can even access the user picture using $user_profile['user_picture'], but I don't know how to get the user email.

I solved this by following way.

$account = menu_get_object('user');
$mail = $account->mail;

The email field is part of the $user variable. For the currently logged in user, you can get to it via:

global $user;
$user_email=$user->mail;

and a quick:

drupal_set_message('<pre>' . print_r($user,true) . '</pre>');

will show you all sorts of information that is available.

If you need it for a different user, you need to grab the $node->uid from the node you are looking at and then do a user_load($node->uid) to get to the info...

  • The user profile template file is not associated with any node.

You do know that Users are fieldable now, so you can add whatever CCK fields you want, like phone number, links, e-mail, etc. Each it's own field type. There's no need to get messy in your template files to customize the user profiles.

  • Rupesh Pawar just wants to use the email address that is associated with the user object. The user object used by Drupal already contains a property for that, without the need of a CCK field.
