Sorry I didn't mean I need to use the ID to run the web service, I need the id to run against other db's that we have the id in so I can pull other data that we populated based on the id....if that makes sense. I don't need it for authentication I need it for a where clause.

I need the setting to show debug information on the jquery side...just seems very hard to get a client variable value from a server side value when it is very easy in straight ASP.NET code.

I am not using the login id for any SQL authentication, I am using it to past to a WHERE clause through the web method. I am using SA credentials. I want to query the db (outside of a dnn db) with their id (which we have in other tables). Anyway I fixed getting the login to the client side but below I need help.

In the load event I am setting the debug value as so....
c# code....
string strDebug = "false";
if (Settings.Contains("Debug"))
strDebug = Settings["Debug"].ToString();

javascript code...
var debug = '<%=strDebug%>';
trace("debug - " + debug );

Trace is just a function I wrote that alerts if it's IE, captures to the console if it's Chrome....

I then get the following error....
Error: Sharp Sales Assistant is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\DNN\DesktopModules\DealershipSalesReporting\View.ascx(8): error CS0103: The name 'strDebug' does not exist in the current context ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\DNN\DesktopModules\DealershipSalesReporting\View.ascx(8): error CS0103: The name 'strDebug' does not exist in the current context at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile, Boolean throwIfNotFound, Boolean ensureIsUpToDate) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile, Boolean throwIfNotFound, Boolean ensureIsUpToDate) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResult(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile, Boolean ensureIsUpToDate) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.WebFormsModuleControlFactory.CreateModuleControl(TemplateControl containerControl, ModuleInfo moduleConfiguration) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleControlFactory.LoadModuleControl(TemplateControl containerControl, ModuleInfo moduleConfiguration) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleHost.LoadModuleControl() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Hi

In code behind file, need to extend PortalModuleBase class, after that you can use UserID property to get current logged-in user id and store in a hidden field. Which you can access using jquery in client side.
