True, true, though that then requires a bit more functional writing to get the url path. Maybe one extra line of code, but probably another half hour of testing.
Anyway, late last night I finished the function. I haven't had a chance to test it to see if it works for anonymous users—that's a new question for anyone who knows: Does the SPServices call for the GetListItems work for an internet/extranet facing sharepoint site with anonymous (public) users?
function get_page_contact_email() {var thisPageID = _spPageContextInfo.pageItemId;var e; $().SPServices({ operation: "GetListItems", async: false, listName: "Pages", CAMLViewFields: "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='PublishingContactEmail' /><FieldRef Name='PublishingContact' /></ViewFields>", CAMLQueryOptions: "<QueryOptions><ExpandUserField>True</ExpandUserField></QueryOptions>", completefunc: function (xData, Status) { $(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("z:row").each(function () {if (thisPageID == $(this).attr("ows_ID")) {if ($(this).attr("ows_PublishingContactEmail")) { // if page email is set e = $(this).attr("ows_PublishingContactEmail"); } elseif ($(this).attr("ows_PublishingContact")) { //otherwise use contact infovar contact = $(this).attr("ows_PublishingContact").split(",#");for (var c = 0; c < contact.length; c++) {if (contact[c].indexOf("@") != -1) { e = contact[c]; } } } else { //or nothing is set. e = false; } } }); } });return e; }
