Re: Passing username in a Url Of Links Module

It now works, thanks. Now a new issue when the window opens I have Gridview on the form which contains a hyperlink:

<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="coursenum" HeaderText="Description" NavigateUrl="~/Descript.aspx" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="descript.aspx?coursenum={0}" Text="Description" Target="_blank" />

which opens a course description file in a new window. Is there any way to have the new window have no tool bar and menus like the window you created. Where would I put the javascript ?

Posting to this forum broke it into two lines instead of one.
You need it all on one line (or else break it apart more)

myjs.Append(" window.open('")
myjs.Append(s.ToString())
myjs.Append("','','width=400,height=200,status,")
myjs.Append("toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no')</script>")

It will work if you get the syntax typed in correctly. And make sure
these '' are Apostrophes not a single double-quote.

Thanks for the code but when I tried it, the screen just flashed and never opened a window. Any idea where the mistake is in the code ( I copied exactly what you had)?

s.Append("http://localhost/clublean/CourseSelection/DotNetNuke.aspx?name=")

s.Append(objUser.LastName)

s.Append("&studentnum=")

s.Append(objUser.Profile.IM)

'Now build javascript

'myjs.Append("<script type = 'text/javascript'>")

'myjs.Append(" window.open('" & s.ToString() & "')</script>")

myjs.Append(" window.open('" & s.ToString() & "','','width=400,height=600,status,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no')</script>")

Response.Write(myjs.ToString())

Well that's the fun part now since you got everything working. Just continue to add in javascript
attributes to your "myjs" string:

myjs.Append(" window.open('" & s.ToString() & "','','width=400,height=200,status,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no')</script>")

Any ideas on how to add the following features to the new window:

"height = 200, width = 400, status = yes, toolbar = no, menubar = no, location = no"

What would the basic syntax be?

Thank you. The your code is what I was looking for.

To open in new window don't use response.redirect, build some JScript & use response.write (client must open a new window):

Dim s as new System.text.StringBuilder
Dim myjs As New System.text.StringBuilder
Dim objUsers As New UserController
Dim objUser As UserInfo = objUsers.GetUser(UserInfo.PortalID, UserInfo.UserID)
'***************
'Build your URL string here
s.append("http://localhost/clublean/CourseSelection/DotNetNuke.aspx?name=")
s.append(objUser.LastName)
s.append("&studentnum=")
s.append(objUser.Profile.IM)

'Now build javascript
myjs.Append("<script type = 'text/javascript'>")
myjs.Append(" window.open('" & s.ToString() & '")</script>")
Response.Write(myjs.ToString())

Thanks for the code. Is there a way for the redirect to open in a new window? I do not see how the links new window (response earlier) could be integrated here in the vb code

Thanks, but how can I redirect to a new window so I do not lose my focus with DNN? I do not see how I could use the link new window code you shared earlier. Thanks again for all you insight.

This will work:

Dim s as new System.text.StringBuilder
Dim objUsers As New UserController
Dim objUser As UserInfo = objUsers.GetUser(UserInfo.PortalID, UserInfo.UserID)
'***************
'Build your redirect string here
s.append("http://localhost/clublean/CourseSelection/DotNetNuke.aspx?name=")
s.append(objUser.LastName)
s.append("&studentnum=")
s.append(objUser.Profile.IM)

'Now redirect
Response.Redirect(s.ToString())

Thanks for the link info. What I was trying to do in the button below was to extract the user info and pass it in the url. Is there a way to open a new window like in links above except using the format I have below.Also my url is not working in passing both variables. Do you know what I might be doing wrong?

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click

            Dim s As String
            Dim objUsers As New UserController
            Dim objUser As UserInfo = objUsers.GetUser(UserInfo.PortalID, UserInfo.UserID)
            '****************
            Dim StudentId As String
            Dim StudentName As String
            Dim url As String
            StudentId = objUser.Profile.IM()
            StudentName = objUser.Profile.LastName()

            url = "http://localhost/clublean/CourseSelection/DotNetNuke.aspx?name=" & StudentName & "studentnum=" & StudentId

            Response.Redirect(url)

        End Sub

There's more than one way to do that. Depends on how you want to go. Here's one I use all the time.
First, I went to my "js" directory and included the following file called newwin.js having code :

<!-- hide this script from old browsers

// http://powerhousedata.com
// This script opens a new browser window and writes
// HTML to display an image with a title and caption

function show_view(pFileName,pTitle,pCaption,pScrolling) {
// create iframe html with pFileName inside of it
var s1 = '<IFRAME NAME=\"I1\" SRC=\"';
var s2 = '\" HEIGHT=\"450px\" WIDTH=\"750px\" TITLE=\"Cascading Style Sheet Results\" ALIGN=\"middle\" STYLE=\"border: 2px solid #666666\" SCROLLING=\"';
var s3 = " Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames. ";
var s4 = "</IFRAME>";
var i=0 ;
s2 += pScrolling;
s2 += '\">';
a= "";
s1 += pFileName + s2 + s3 +s4;

//alert(s1);
// specify window parameters
TutorialWin = window.open("","photo","onLoad=window.focus(),width=850,height=650,menubar=no,status=no,scrollbars,resizable,screenX=20,screenY=40,left=80,top=20");
TutorialWin.focus();

// write content to window
TutorialWin.document.writeln('<html><head><title>' + pTitle + '</title></head>');
TutorialWin.document.writeln('<BODY BGCOLOR=White LINK=Gray VLINK=Gray> ');
TutorialWin.document.writeln('<P STYLE="text-align: center"><font size=+2 face="arial,helvetica"><b>' + pTitle + '</b></font><br><hr></p>');
// display iframe with pFileName inside of it
TutorialWin.document.writeln('<P STYLE="text-align: center">');
TutorialWin.document.writeln(s1);
TutorialWin.document.writeln('<font face="arial,helvetica">');
TutorialWin.document.writeln('<br><br>');
TutorialWin.document.writeln(pCaption);
TutorialWin.document.writeln('</font><br>');
TutorialWin.document.writeln('&nbsp');
TutorialWin.document.writeln('<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2" color=teal>');
TutorialWin.document.writeln('Copyright © 2005  </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2" color="#993366">Powerhouse Data</font>');
TutorialWin.document.writeln('<br><a href =" " onClick="self.close()">Close this window</a>');
TutorialWin.document.writeln(' <br><br></p></body></html>');
TutorialWin.document.bgColor="lightyellow";
//for (propertyName in TutorialWin.document)
//for (propertyName in navigator)
//TutorialWin.document.writeln(propertyName + "<br>");
//TutorialWin.document.writeln("<br>navigator.appName="+navigator.appName);
//TutorialWin.document.writeln("<br>TutorialWin.document.width="+TutorialWin.document.width);
TutorialWin.document.close();

}
// done hiding from old browsers -->

Then in my Text/HTML I can create a link and pass info to the new window.

<A onmouseover="window.status='Click Here';return true" title="CSS Tutorial - Second View" onclick="show_view('/tutorials/CSS_Views/MyCSS_Skin_view%282%29.htm','Powerhouse Data Tutorials',
'Your view should now match the above with the light green Header.','no');return false" href="/tutorials/CSS_Views/MyCSS_Skin_view%282%29.htm">You should see the light green Header </A>

The information passed is a filename, Title, caption, and whether I want scrollbars or not. You can view a sample of this code in action here at http://www.powerhousedata.com/Tutorials/DNNTablelessSkinTutorialLessonOne/Page3/tabid/99/Default.aspx. On that page there are three links each using this script - try it by clicking on "You should see the light green header"

But how can I open a new window and pass variables?
