IMO you can extend web-form portlet (as its an external plugin which can be extended) to meet your requirement.
Infact best way would be to create a new control field - say AutoFillEmail.
And when you keep this type of field in your web-form, it will be automatically filled by the email-id of the logged-in user (ofcourse you have to code this in your extendecd web-form); and for guest users it will still be blank.

Hi,

Check the webform portlet source code and EXT tutorial.
Also write your progress, if you need help with it.

There is an option that you make your own portlet and just load users information like this

User u = themeDisplay.getUser();

or that EXT, in which you need to know Web Forms source, well you can just check JSP and remake them

No problem and I think that you had not included init.jsp ( the jsp with all required imports )

BTW Did you created hook/ext or new portlet?

[Imran Khalil, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

I had created new portlet with existing source code...

Eclipse showing error in init.jsp file on following line but compiles fine
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/aui" prefix="aui" %>
