Blog Author Desciption?

Hi all.

I have a problem and can't get the solution...

i have added a new field to the BlogPost document type called "BlogPostAutor" because the author can vary from the person which creates the document. The "Author" field uses the User-Selector control....

In my transformation i have this:

<div class="autor">
	<%# GetUserAvatarImage(Eval("BlogPostAutor"), 200, 0, 0, BlogFunctions.GetUserFullName(Eval("BlogPostAutor"))) %>
       
       <p class="autorName">
        <%# BlogFunctions.GetUserFullName(Eval("BlogPostAutor")) %>
       </p>
       
       <p class="autorDescription">
       ??
       </p>
</div>

The avatar image & the name are perfectly displayed but I also want the "User Description" to be showed, but don't know how it is done....I guess its quite easy but i can't get it...

Thank you!

best regards

RE:Blog Author Desciption?

Should be able to use this code right in your transformation, assuming "BlogPostAutor" is the userid.

<script runat="server">
    public string GetUserDescription(int UserID)
    {
        string ReturnValue = "";
        CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfo ui = CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo(UserID);
        if (ui != null)
        {
            ReturnValue = ui.UserSettings.UserDescription;
        }
        return ReturnValue;
    }
</script>

<%# GetUserDescription(Convert.ToInt32(Eval("BlogPostAutorUserID"))) %>

RE:Blog Author Desciption?

Thank you for the code; We already solved it using "MyFunction":

public static string getUserDescription(object userId)
    {
        int id = ValidationHelper .GetInteger(userId, 0);
 
        if (id > 0)
        {
            string key = "TransfUserAutorDescription_" + id.ToString();
 
            if (RequestStockHelper .Contains(key))
            {
                return ValidationHelper .GetString(RequestStockHelper.GetItem(key), "");
            }
            else
            {
                DataSet ds = UserInfoProvider .GetUsers("UserID = " + id, null, 1, "UserAutorDescription" );
                if (!DataHelper .DataSourceIsEmpty(ds))
                {
                    string result = HTMLHelper.HTMLEncode(ValidationHelper .GetString(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["UserAutorDescription"], ""));
                    RequestStockHelper.Add(key, result);
 
                    return result;
                }
            }
        }
        return "" ;
    }

In the transformation:

<%# MyFunctions.getUserDescription(Eval("DocumentCreatedByUserID")) %>

Thanks and have a nice day
