I am shortly going to try to build a system that lets people build their own directoy listings and classified adverts.

So far i have done the following:

when you login it loads a loggedin template that displays some links such as manageAds.aspx.  This link picks up the userid and apends it to the url.  So next i have to build a page that loads any adds associated with that user.  or a management screen that will have links to add, edit or delete ads.

cool

My only problem is understanding the membership thingy with the login.  In order to return the userid i have had to make a connection to the memebership_users table in ASPNETDB.  I was wondering if i can get these values another way.

Becuase the welcome message is getting them from somewhere, ie welcome Paul

Cheers
