Hey there,

I am trying to add a foreign key to the user profile so that I can access a secondary DB from custom module.
I have added a custom profile property and have set its visibilty to false since I obviously don't want my users to be able to change that.
My question now is how do I access that property from my module?
I can certainly see the UserInfo but Intellisense only shows me the "common" properties. I was hoping to see my custom properties like when using the ASP 2.0 membership profile.
But even if there is no Intellisense support (still hoping there is and I just don't know where to look! *g), how do I get a hold of my property values?

Thanks for your support!

Tillman

You may want to look at DNN documents and blogs - allot of things have changed and guys from the core try to keep up with the texts and documentation to explain them.

Which version of DNN are you using? If it's the latest one you can find example of the things you are doing DNN core itself

Thanks,

Hey Vladan,

thanks again for jumping to my rescue!
I am using 4.3.3 and I wonder where to find some hints of how to access a custom profiler property called "TestKey" for example.

Cheers,

Tillman

Hi Tillman,

It's not a problem :)

You can start by viewing controls in Admin/Users, especially:

admin\Users\EditProfileDefinition.ascx
admin\Users\ProfileDefinitions.ascx

and then by searching for the profile functions (e.g. search on ProfileController.GetPropertyDefinition) you can probably find some other usage examples, and also by checking out the ProfileController generally you can get information you need.

what else to say... good luck :)

Hi Tillman,
Here is how I access my custom profile property. I don't if it helps. I post it anyway.

Dim oUserInfo As DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo()

oUserInfo.Profile.ProfileProperties.GetByName("CTheme").PropertyValue

Needs to make sure that the user is logged in if not will cause error.

I could not find a way to check for logged in user. The Profile.isanonymous always returns true. Any hint or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
