Hi, I?m developing a guestbook for PostNuke 0.8 and I don?t know how to get the USER HOMEPAGE URL var from the current user, I?d tray whit pnUserGetVar('URL'); but it seems to be disabled in this version, the question is, how can I get this var???

Thanks

In Smarty, I know this works:

Code

<!--[pngetbaseurl]-->

I'm not sure on the core variables?

but:

Code

<!--[pngetbaseurl]-->

gives the core URL, not the current user home page...

No clue, sorry. I guess I misunderstood. I'm totally clueless as to how to gather that information without user input. It seems like the browser would not give that information by a simple command, but would require user input.

This is one thing that really annoys me too: It is really hard to get these user variables. The access contains the legacy of PHPNuke and PostNuke .7 and some new stuff from .8

But you can use pnUserGetVars($uid) to get ALL user variables in an array. So you can pick out what you need.

Wow I hadn't tried this, simply it would be

Code

$home_page = pnUserGetVar(_YOURHOMEPAGE)

Or using the new object library

Code

Loader::loadClass('UserUtil');
$usr_dud = UserUtil::getUserDynamicDataFields(SessionUtil::getVar('uid'));
foreach (UserUtil::getDynamicDataFields() as $dud) {
    if ($dud['prop_label'] == _YOURHOMEPAGE) {
        $home_page = $usr_dud[$dud['prop_id']]['uda_value'];
    }
}

But it assumes that the property label '_YOURHOMEPAGE' hasn't been changed.
I've been experimenting as I write...
I thought adjusting the Profile module for a default, non-editable set of 'obvious' variable labels might do the trick or use it's pnAPI to get what I wanted... but it's not pnAPI compliant???
So I am requesting some feedback on this core module and it's usage from someone involved in the code please.

Also thinking the UserUtil could use some UserUtil::[get|getAll|set][user]Profile() methods.

But it assumes that the property label '_YOURHOMEPAGE' hasn't been changed.

I came to the same conclusion...
