I have a scheduled task that creates a PortalSettings object. It then calls the FriendlyUrl method to create a FURL , but whenever it runs from the Scheduler it uses the wrong portalAlias (that particular portal has many aliases but only one (pokerdiy.com) is correct). Calling it from a module instance works fine.

return FriendlyUrlProvider.Instance().FriendlyUrl(leagueDetailTab, "~/Default.aspx?tabid=" + leagueDetailTab.TabID.ToString() + "&lid=" + leagueID.ToString(), Utilities.formatTitle(leagueName), portalSettings);

I also tried the PortalAlias overload but with no joy. Is it a problem in the FURL provider or do I have to somehow set the PortalSettings to tell it WHICH portalAlias is the default?

Rodney - the portalSettings object is created by the Url Rewriter at the start of each request for a DNN page or resource.  The portalSEttings object lets all subsequent code know which portal a particular request belongs to (remember that all DNN installs are a single IIS website).  This is done by identifying either the tabid (which links back to the portal) or by matching the portal alias.

So, in answer to your question, yes, you will have to specify which portal alias is current for your constructed portalSettings object.  You'll need to do this when you instance the portal settings.  If you're using my code (in blog post http://www.ifinity.com.au/Blog/Technical_Blog/EntryId/52/Creating-PortalSettings-Instance-running-in-a-DotNetNuke-Schedule-Item) you'll see that in that code, the portal alias chosen is arbitarily picked as the first one for the portal.  Depending on your actual needs, you may need to change this code so that you use a particular, chosen portal alias instaed of just the first one in the list.

Note that it's not a problem in the Friendly Url Provider because in the overload you're using, you are specifying the portalSEttings object to use, which indirectly supplies which portal alias to use.

Thanks Bruce, I knew you'd know ;)

I have made another overload for your CreateNewPortalSettings method which takes in a PreferredPortalAlias - if it can retrieve it it will use that or use the first as before. For anyone who is doing this in a Scheduled Task who has multiple portalAliases you may need this...

Thanks for the help.
