I'm afraid this may be a simple question but I'm new to coding and can't seem to get it straight.  Can anyone tell how to grab the UserId from the token and insert it into a table or datasource.

Thanks

dwillcutts,

Depending on how new you are and what you've established already in your module - this could be a very short or very long explanation :)

Have you established data access within your module? Are you writing anything else to the database yet?

There are two ways you can grab the UserId -- from the PortalModuleBase.UserID property and from the HttpContext.Current.UserID property.

You could then funnel this down through your data layer into the database.

If you could give us a more specific idea of what areas you need help with - I'm sure we can provide some guidance!

take care,

Ian

there are currently 2 modules, bundled with DotNetNuke, which support Tokens: Text/HTML and UserDefinedTable. If you are developing custom modules yourself, you can also use TokenReplace to replace tokens by property values of Users (including Profile), Modules, Pages and Portal as well as custom objects within texts. to store Property values in dedicated columns, please access the objects directly, which will be more type save, see e.g. source of feedback module, how to access username etc.

Cheers from Germany,
