Hi, YAFAddict, thanks a lot for your source code. It is very helpful.

May I ask how you identify the current user in your source code.

I guess you are connecting to Activer_User table, and then use the session key to query the table? Am I right, or there is other way to handle?

I am looking forward to your new release!

have a great holiday!

Hi, YAFaddict:

Can you give me a little more hints on how to use your dll? I can comply after adding your dll, but still can not get the user informaiton from YAF. I put both my own web site project and YAF under same directory same solution.

Thanks!

Hey uticket,

Sure..here is a sample page. Make sure you change the "YAFConnectionString" parameter to whatever app settings key that you have defined in your web.config file.


<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="YAFblend" %>

<script runat="server">
    Private Const PRINT_FOR_HTML = True
    
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim CurrentYAFuser As New YAFuser("YAFConnectionString")
        
        lblYAFname.Text = CurrentYAFuser.Name
        lblYAFdetails.Text = CurrentYAFuser.PrintMe(PRINT_FOR_HTML) 'True parameter uses <br /> instead of normal carriage returns
        
        If CurrentYAFuser.NewMail Then
            lblYAFmail.Text = "You've got mail!"
        Else
            lblYAFmail.Text = "You do not have mail!"
        End If
    End Sub
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        Username: <asp:Label ID="lblYAFname" runat="server"></asp:Label><br />
        <br />
        User Details:<br />
        <asp:Label ID="lblYAFdetails" runat="server"></asp:Label><br />
        <br />
        Mail Status:<br />
        <asp:Label ID="lblYAFmail" runat="server"></asp:Label>        
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Hey YAFAddict,

Just wondering how you're going with YAFBlend? I've been checking back here daily! :wink:

No pressure though.. I know it's a busy time of year.

Cheers,

Addict, this module is almost stupid useful. Thank you for all the time you've put into it. If you are able, as has been suggested, to make YAFBlend auto-log your forum account based on another ASP.net login status, this would be pretty much the greatest thing of all time. Next to panda bears, of course. Awesome job; I'll be using this once I get my head out of PHP mode.

Thx for all the patience/compliments gents. It really is my pleasure. I have the next 5 days off so I will be really digging into it hardcore. I haven't had much time to work on anything in the last week b/c we are so busy at work here this time of year. I shall be in touch

Hey YAFaddict, happy holidays!

Any updates for YAFblend?

I don't mean to seem too impatient, but I'd love to fool around with YAFblend a bit while I'm off work.

Cheers,

Blackwater

Hey YAFaddict,

thank you for your work at this very helpful program.

Unfortunately it is not working correctly for me:

I am using your sample and when I am not logged in the sample page it is working correctly for the user Guest. But when I am logged in in YAF the page generates following error:

Procedure 'dbo.UF_BasicMaintenance' was not found

Source Error:

Line 6:

Line 7: Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

Line 8: Dim CurrentYAFuser As New YAFuser("YAFConnectionString" )

Line 9:

Line 10: lblYAFname.Text = CurrentYAFuser.Name

It is possible to reproduce this error.

For info: I am not using YAF in the web root but I am using it in a subfolder of my webpage.

I hope you can help me with this issue.

Thanks and cheers

Hey YAFaddict,

thanks a lot. Now it is working.

Is it planned for the next release to implement a fuction where the group name of the logged-in-user could be displayed also?

Thanks again

Great. Hey I'm open to any suggestions and thats a really good idea. I'll have the instance populate a string array with the different group names. Currenntly I'm working on a login feature that allows you to log in right from the instance. Its proving to be harder than I anticipated but I i know I'll get thru it. If you or anyone else has any other suggestions then dont hesitate to ask me to include them. Once this project is a little more matured I will open it up completely.

Yeah, perfect. It would be very nice to use the user administration from YAF and logingin from somewhere in the own page (where YAF is part of). For instance you have in the masterpage.master Username/Password boxes and if you login it refers to the YAF usertable and uses the authorisation functions. I hope you are talking about this feature on which you are working. That would be a very helpful option because then you don't need to go via the Forum to login or to have two parallel "user authentications" to handle.

I am really looking forward to this.

BTW: do you know how make the YAF menu bar (Login, Register, etc) unvisible for all users (also guests) beside the admin?

Hi YAFaddict,

it's me again and I am still trying to use the user authentication out of my website with the forum login infos plus YAFblend.

I am calling the functions from yaf in my login page (nearly like zeee describes it on his page) and it works sometimes and sometimes I get an error from yafBlend when I am logging in:

Violence of the PRIMARY KEY 'PK_yaf_Active'. A double key could not inserted in the 'dbo.yaf_Active'-object.

And the error occures here: Dim CurrentYAFuser As New YAFblend.YAFuser("YAFConnectionString" )

Please could you give me an advice what your function is doing? I think your funktion doesn't insert a recordset in the yaf_Active table, right? But the error look like this for me

I am working on this issue some weeks, but I cannot find the problem.

Thanks and cheers
