Hi,

in our support team, we often need to know the email address of the customer. the reason is that we may respond differently depending on the customer address. Currently the email address is only visible when hoovering the mouse above the customer name.
We also often need to copy/paste the email address to get some info in our own product backoffice. When answering a discussion this means opening temporary a new page (the user page) copying the email address, closing the temporary page (and then using the user email address in our backoffice...)

Both of these two needs would be easily fulfilled just by always displaying the user email address on the right of the user name (see in the attached image).

Is this possible with a specific CSS? otherwise could you make it possible?

   Hey Christophe, I just wrote this javascript for you

   You could put it at the bottom of your custom JS field.
   It adds a textfield and a button, you click the button to just copy the value. Could be improved but I'm still pre-coffee :) You don't really need the text field, it's just for interest.

   
   function copyToClipboard(evt) {
     var aux = document.createElement("input");
     aux.setAttribute("value", evt.target.dataset.userEmail)
     document.body.appendChild(aux);
     aux.select();
     document.execCommand("copy");
     document.body.removeChild(aux);
   }
   meta = jQuery('.meta h4>a:first')
   button = jQuery('<button>').
     attr('data-user-email', meta.attr('data-user-email')).
     text('copy')
   email = jQuery('<input type=text>').
     val(meta.attr('data-user-email'))
   
   email.insertAfter(meta)
   button.insertAfter(email)
   button.click(copyToClipboard)

   also if you have a url you can 'post' to your backoffice you could insert a link there pretty easily - or even a form (depends on if your back office allows posting from tender) I can whip up a simple script for this if you need.

   Hi Courtenay,

   Thanks for your help, we simply display the email on right side using the code bellow.

   But if we want to display it only for logged support staff users (for confidentiality), is the code bellow is ok and enough (I inspected the Tender js object and i've found i can use Tender.user_flags.support)?

   /* display user email on header only for support staff */
   if(Tender.user_flags.support)
   {
   var email = jQuery("div.meta a.user-link").attr("data-user-email");
   jQuery("div.meta > h4").append("<span style='font-weight:400; margin-left:20px;'>"+email+"</span>");
   }
   

   Thanks,
   Regards,
   Seb

   Yes, Tender.user_flags.support is good. I liked the copy button because it's one less click for your staff :) You could also generate a link straight to your own admin page.

   Thanks for the confirmation....

   In fact we already had the button. But we also need the copy paste possibility as often we are using several web browsers, so the the direct link to our backoffice is no necessary going to the proper webbrowser...
