I am creating a simple module that registered users can use to send an email invitation to people who are not registered.  I would like to include in the email the following...

1.)  The registered users name who is sending the invitation.
2.)  The name of the portal the invitation is being sent from.
3.)  A link to the registration page that when clicked on the user is brought to the page with his/her name already populated in the registration form.

I was looking into the DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostSettings("") and was able to get some information I needed to send the email from this like DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostSettings("SMTPServer").  However, I cannot locate a complete list of these globals to see if what I need is included in there.

If anyone has information on this or knows of a better method please send it along.

Thanks!

There are many ways to use variables like what I was trying to use...

But here is how I did it.

DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.LastName

That will get you the lastname.  If your in Visual Web Express or VB.net intellisense will complete the last part of that.  There you can see the many variables you can grab.  I called them environment variables but there is probably another term for this.

To grab Host information use...

Convert.ToString(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostSettings("SMTPAuthentication"))

You can grab various settings this way as well.

Hope this helps the next guy.

Thanks for the info,
