Hello, I built a very simple Flash photo banner rotator module that consists of just the .ascx file and then a few settings pulled in the feature settings area. Works good, very simple.

One of the settings the user needs to change is to enter the folder where the images should pull from. What I would like to do is only make the user enter the folder from their file area forward and not have to enter the whole beginning of the path /data/sites/3/....

Note the bold code below:  How can I prepopulate the module below to grab the current SITE ID and place it in my code below?

<%@ Control Language="C#" ClassName="BannerRotator.ascx" Inherits="mojoPortal.Web.SiteModuleControl" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Business" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Business.WebHelpers" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.Framework" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.Controls" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.Editor" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Net" %>

<portal:ModuleTitleControl id="Title1" runat="server" />
<asp:Panel ID="pnlMyClass" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" CssClass="modulecontent">

<script type="text/javascript" src="_Include/swfobject/swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="BannerRotator"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("_Custom/Modules/BannerRotator/preview.swf", "preview", "<%Response.Write(Settings["Width"].ToString());%>", "<%Response.Write(Settings["Height"].ToString());%>", "7", "#333333");
so.addVariable("dataFile", "_Custom/Modules/BannerRotator/auto.asp?Path=/Data/Sites/3/<%Response.Write(Settings["ImagePath"].ToString());%>");
so.addVariable("SlideDuration", "<%Response.Write(Settings["SlideDuration"].ToString());%>");
so.addVariable("SlideWidth", "<%Response.Write(Settings["Width"].ToString());%>");
so.addVariable("SlideHeight", "<%Response.Write(Settings["Height"].ToString());%>");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.write("BannerRotator");
</script>

</asp:Panel>

Very nice: this did work for returning the SITE ID: Thank you!!

<%=siteSettings.SiteId.ToString()%>

I'm a newbie .NET, so thank you for the advice on the programming. That does make more sense I'm sure (I'm so used to classic asp). But when I try this as way of a test I get the error: CS0103: The name 'strSiteID' does not exist in the current context

<script runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String strSiteID = siteSettings.SiteId.ToString();
}
</script>

<%=strSiteID%>
 

But no need to teach basic programming here, I'm sure to figure it out in time :)

Nice, that works.  *little .net lightbuld in head starts to faintly flicker

God I'm envious of people who make it look so easy! You should build your own CMS or something! :)
