    Hi,

    I am trying to get the userId (of the UserInfo object) of the user selected by the admin user in the Manage --> Users --> (Choose a user) -> View Profile page

    Using SecurityContext.getCurrentUser() or UserController.Instance.GetCurrentUserInfo() gets me the userInfo object of the currently logged on user as it should (which is the admin user in this case). But I need the userInfo object of the selected user.

    Note: I am using DNN 9.4.4

    Thanks in advance.

      Mohan,

      This should work for you:

      DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserByName(string username)

      or

      DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserByName(int portalId, string username)

      Happy DNNing!

        Hi Micheal,

        Thanks for the reply. The problem I have is how do I get the username to pass as the argument. Because I dont want the UserInfo of the currently logged on user. I need the UserInfo of the user selected from the Users list in Manage --> Users

          Mohan,

          you have to know something about the user, either the user name (see example above, you find this in the first column of the grid in the second line) or the userid (eg when you click on the profile link, you see it in the querystring).

          If you know the userid, you can get the UserInfo object by

          DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserById(int portalId, int userId)

          Happy DNNing!

            Hi Michael,
            Thanks for the reply. I was hoping there would be a way to get the selected username without using the query string but I'll try with the querystring for now. Thanks.
