Hi,

We have a few companies using our DNN portal, and are about to add the Shopping Cart experience.
Where would be best to start looking at maniupulating a variable that would relate to the user logged in?

Example:

UserA logs in - their Address details fill the address section
etc...

We have our db with all the info. Im just wondering where to start looking to attempt this?

Thank you,
Zell

Hi Zell,

With the Store module, when a visitor checkout the address is filled with informations from his DNN user account. If it's not enough, the visitor can create new addresses with a label (home, work, wharehouse, ..) for later use.

If you really want to get informations from your own databse, you could create a fork of the Store module but you could not upgrade with future versions or you will have to reapply your changes. Moreover, this will works only with the Store module. A far better solution is to create a Membership provider, this will allow you to manage your users in your own database WITHOUT breaking anything in DNN nor in the Store module. You can found a good starting article and resources in the Wiki. Another option (probably more simple), is to create an Authentication provider. This allow you to control how a user is authenticated and to synchronize his DNN user profile with informations from your database. You can found an article about this subject in the Wiki.

It would be so particularly appreciated that your messages begin with "Hello" and end with "Thank you" or any other form of politeness. Ask yourself what your reaction would be, if you were approached by me (a total stranger) on the street to ask you something without saying "Hello" nor "Thank you"? After several years of services dedicated to the community, I begin to be tired to read requests without any form of politeness.
