hi all

pls help me soon.

in dnn 04 08 i added one link.when i click that link one another website will come in a new window.in that website i want current dnn login name .how?

You can put the username in the query string with the link.

So, if the link is included in a Text/HTML module, you can use the new Token Replacement feature in that module pass the username. You could put the link in the Text/HTML module as:

http://www.website.com?username= ...rname]

dear friend

thank you very much.
i got this point.
in url i done like this .
www.website.com?username=[User:Username]

but in that coming website button click i want to show this username as message box how?

If you want to grab the username in the target website, you'll have to process the query string in that website.

dont feel bad
i have not much experience in this field.
i am using vs 2005.dnn 04 08

how i will process the query string?
can u tell me the steps?pls...

pls i am troubling lot
can u help me....

If you are inexperienced with programming in ASP.NET and with DotNetNuke, I would recommend that you get some good books and study them carefully. The book "Professional DotNetNuke 4" by Shaun Walker is a good book. There are a lot of good books about programming in the ASP.NET languages. What you'll get depends on whether or not you want to do your programming in VB or C#.

For the example that you listed, if you want a link to be something like:

www.website.com?username=[User:Username]

You would want to put that link in a Text/HTML module and also check the option for token replacement in the module's settings. Then, when the link is actually rendered the [User:Username] will be replaced by the user's actual username, and that will be passed to the other website in the query string.

In the receiving website, you'll need to have code that decodes the requesting URL and extracts the username. How you do this depends on how you have created the second website. Is it also a DotNetNuke site, or is it something else?

my module is link module not html module.
in that link settings i selected url and location i specified like www.website.com?username=[User:Username].
my second web is coming but actual username is not coming there.

my second web is a mapxtreme website for mapping.
i want to pass dnn username and password in that website.
that is my pblm.

is any other solution for this pblm??

if it is difficult leave it no pblm.i will find out the solution.

thank u very much 4 ur cooperation...

I don't believe that the Links module does token replacement yet. So, I'd suggest that you replace the Links module with a Text/HTML module that does to token replacement.

i created text/html module.i paste this link there .

http://192.168.151.15:88/webform1.a...rname]

but in browser i cannot get username

when i check Replace Tokens:  option i am getting error like this.

http://192.168.151.15:88/webform1.a...name=Error accessing [User:Username], Username is unknown for datasource User.

but when i click link my web is coming.
what i want to do??

i tried this way also
< a href="http://192.168.151.15:88?username=[dnn0408].[dbo].[Users]:Username" >link< /a >
this time no error is coming.when i click link my web also coming with this
http://192.168.151.15:88/?username=Users:Username browser name

my username is lulu y this name is not coming in browser window?

You want to make sure that the link is pasted into the Text/HTML module in "source" mode so that it will be interpreted as HTML code and not text.

Also, you have to go to the Settings page for the module and enable token replacement.

dear frined
i done this in another way.
i created one one link module.from that link button click i passed dnn username .
