We are new to DNN and are doing a site with 4.9. We need to be able to filter a grid or report based on the UserName the person logs in with. UserID is also fine, as we can join a couple tables on UserName and get the same result.

As hard as we are searching, we can't find or figure this out. It must be simple, no?

We set a connect string and put a SQL statement in (select * from MyTable) and it returns everything fine. What do I need to do to get select * from MyTable where username = <dnn user name> working properly? What is the variable name? How do we retrieve it?

 

Thank you.

Hi, Mike-
Though this may not be what you'll want for your long-term solution, one easy way to get started with DB access and queries based on common DNN values without creating your own custom modules is outlined in several simple examples here:

   Free module:  Advanced DataGrid (Part 1) -- Make a "Most Recent User Signups" List
   http://www.eguanasolutions.com/DNN_Blog/EntryID/2.aspx

   Free module:  Advanced DataGrid (Part 2) -- Make an "Events Status" Table for the EVENTS Module
   http://www.eguanasolutions.com/DNN_Blog/EntryID/5.aspx

   Free module:  Advanced DataGrid (Part 3) -- Create a Clickable "Most-Commented" Blogs Module
   http://www.eguanasolutions.com/DNN_Blog/EntryID/13.aspx

   Free module:  SQLView -- Make an EVENTS List Sortable by City / County / State
   http://www.eguanasolutions.com/DNN_Blog/EntryID/15.aspx


Note that at least one person has reported having trouble with Advanced Datagrid under DNN 4.9.x so you might prefer SQLView (SQLView has more features, anyway).  Both modules offer a few "tokens" you can use in your query to represent the logged in user's UserID, PortalID, etc.  Here's a recent post with an example of using Advanced Datagrid tokens for UserID and PortalID:

Also note:  The DNN REPORTS module is another free offering (and is a "core" module) that may provide the functionality you need.
 
Cheers!
