I asked this in the Skinning forum some days ago (see this thread), but the answer I got there didn't work for me, so I'll try my luck here:

On my portal, I have some rather small modules with little content, which don't need a visible title. The title is required only for internal identification. But for users with edit rights it would be helpful to see the title as soon as they are logged in.

So I thought of checking programatically (with a little VB script in the module .ascx skin container) if the current user has edit rights, and set the title visibility with dnnTITLE.Visible = True/False.

Question:
AFAIK each module has an isEditable property, but I cannot figure out how to access that property from within the container. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

don't use vbscript, it's for asp, not asp.net. You can probably acheive this by adding an inline script block such as <%if me.isEditable then response.write("editable")%> , though I would suggest adding a a panel with content and enabling it's visibility from the ascx.vb e.g.

in the ascx

<asp:panel id=pnlEditVisible runat=server><strong>This is editable</strong></asp:panel>

in the ascx.vb

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

pnlEditVisible.visible=me.iseditable

end sub

Thanks a lot for the answer! But I couldn't make it work, because if I put that code into my 'container.ascx', then the 'Me' in 'Me.IsEditable' refers to the page object, not to the module (and there is no 'Page.IsEditable' property, so I get an error message).

ah, whoops I read that wrong. IsEditable is a part of portalmodulebase, I thought you were injecting the content into the module, not the container. Perhaps you could iterate through the control collection of the container and if you find controls that inherit from portalmodulebase cast them to that and check the IsEditable property of that way.
