Sorry for the confusion.  Let me explain the rest of the story (doesn't there always seem to be a "rest of the story"?)  I have a DNN module (IndooGrid) that I use for tons of things.  I noticed that one of their new features (the ability to behave differently depending on whether the user is a member of a particular role) doesn't seem to always work properly when I am on my main portal (which turns-out to be #26.)  I did as much debugging as I could without having their source code - which included turning-on a capture of all SQL commands submitted to the server.  I noticed that their code was checking what roles I was a member-of on PortalID 0 - recall I was logged into 26.

I reported this as a bug via their forum. The developer's response was that they didn't think it was a bug because they were simply using the built-in DNN mechanism to determine roles.  They attached a snippit of their code that does this checking.  I constructed my own stand-along module to verify their code and determined that, indeed, it is checking PortalID 0.  That leads me to this forum post ... I am essentially trying to determine if there is something wrong with my configuration (so I can get this feature of Indoo working on my system) or if there is a bug in their code so I can demonstrate it to them and they can fix it and ship me a patched version of their module.

(Hopefully this all makes more sense now.)  This may sound like I am going a little "above and beyond" as a client of theirs but I use this module for a bunch of things and, other than this one issue, it is a great tool.  I need this new feature of theirs to work quickly so I can release some functionality that uses it.  The code they sent me that they are using to check to see what roles the user is in is:

Dim mRoles As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.OnlineUserInfo

Dim mUserRoles As New DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController

Dim mUser As DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo

Return mUserRoles.GetRolesByUser(mUser.UserID, mRoles.PortalID)

Let me know if their code is wrong and I will "break the news" to them.  Sorry if my previous posts were too cryptic - I was hoping that it would be a quick and easy answer for y'all.

Ian,

I cannot find documentation about this topic - can you help me with this, please?

I assume this is better code:

Dim mUserRoles As New DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController

Dim mUser As DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo

Return mUserRoles.GetRolesByUser(mUser.UserID, mUser.PortalID)

How I see function returns roles for current user and user's portal. How should I modify code that function will return roles for current user and current portal? Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Primoz

Hey Primoz,

I think Bryan is right - testing it out to make sure it is working is the best way to know - However, from glancing through it I believe that will work just fine.

Take care,

Ian
