Hi -

I have a quick module development newbie question that I hope somone can give me insight to. I hope this is an appropriate forum...

I would like to use some custom portal settings but cant seem to call it in code...

if i use:

  Dim setting As Object = UserModuleBase.GetSetting(0, "Security_EmailValidation")
  Label1.Text = CType(setting, String)

My label1 displays: \b[a-zA-Z0-9._%\-+']+@[a-zA-Z0-9.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}\b

but...

If I add my own setting to the table, PortalSettings (SettingName:My_Test , SettingValue: Hello)

and try call it the same way:

Dim setting As Object = UserModuleBase.GetSetting(0, "My_Test")
Label1.Text = CType(setting, String)

My Label.text shows nothing...

Is this even possible?

Thanks

Hi there

I'm not sure if this is the best example but this is how I get/set a portal setting for my module.

        private object _data;
        public bool CoreSettingsDefined
        {
            get
            {
                _data = DataCache.GetCache(Constants.CORE_SETTINGS_DEFINED_SETTING);
                if (_data == null)
                {
                    _data = PortalController.GetPortalSetting(Constants.CORE_SETTINGS_DEFINED_SETTING, _portalId, false.ToString());
                    DataCache.SetCache(Constants.CORE_SETTINGS_DEFINED_SETTING, _data);
                }
                return bool.Parse(_data.ToString());
            }
            set
            {
                PortalController.UpdatePortalSetting(_portalId, Constants.CORE_SETTINGS_DEFINED_SETTING, value.ToString());
                DataCache.SetCache(Constants.CORE_SETTINGS_DEFINED_SETTING, value.ToString());
            }
        }

Hope it helps.
