Hello 

Im new to DNN module programming. I have been searching for this topic for some time and I cant get exactly the information that I need from it. So I turn to you, DotNetNuke experts.

How can I access user information from user that sign into the page?

For example: User signs in to the page and user the DNN authentication system. When the user signs in he will be sent to the default.aspx site that have one specific module that im programming. This module needs to retrieve information from the user profile for example from "Manage Profile" tab -> "Country". I need to do this to filter the Data that is used in the module.

And bonus question if you can answer. Is it possible to add new fields to the user profile, for example, "userIDkey" or do I have the just use fields that exist and use that as my key?

Hi

You can get the logged-in user country value inside your module using below code:

UserInfo.Profile.Country. UserInfo class is present inside DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase class.

 If you want to add a new field to user profile, logged-in as host, then go to Admin->User Accounts->Manage Profile Properties then click on Add new profile property link.

 

Thanks
