Hi there,

I'm using DNN 4.9.x, and the PT Forums, which are great. However, I'd like to tie them more closely to the build-in profiles, which accept a data string in the form of a user ID.

I've already gotten a part of the PT Forums to send over the string, but I'm wranging with the other areas where names appear, e.g., on the thread listings pages.

In the ucThreads.ascx code, I can see this:

<%#GetAuthorName(Container.DataItem("PostAuthor").ToString())%>

which outputs the name of the Author. Does anyone have any ideas about how to output the Author ID, instead, so I can pull it into a link? 

I've tried:

<%#GetAuthorID(Container.DataItem("PostAuthor").ToString())%> and things like it - to no avail. Any help would be awesome, and thanks!
