Hi Scott,

Let me explain my requirements first so you can see what I am trying to do:

On this page -
http://www.pokerdiy.com/Games/PokerGame/tabid/374/ID/10481/Default.aspx
I show poker games that people can RSVP too. I have a role for people who want to receive email invites to freerolls, so I want to show a message if they are NOT a member of this role.

Your SubscriptionContent module ALMOST works for this. Basically, I go to the generic message, and I put in "Hi [DisplayName] - Update your prefs here". I then go to the "Invites Role" and want to show nothing if they already are a member.

There are a couple of problems - firstly - you only have a [FullName] token, I need DisplayName please. Secondly, when the user is logged out, it's showing [FullName]. Can you make it so that this is only populated if they are logged in and it won't show if they are logged out? I have to use the Generic Message content as it needs to show only if they are not a member of the Invite role, but I can't use the Registered Users role because they will be. Does that make sense?

I just noticed another issue - so my message is

"Hi [FULLNAME] - Want to be invited to ALL of our PokerDIY Freeroll League tournaments? Update your preferences here"

and thats on the Generic Message. But the FullName token does not get parsed at all for authenticated users (I can't put the message against Registered Users because then people in the role will see it)


The other issue is that I can't enter a blank message in the "Invite Role" field - I have to enter "." (it seems to trim the space). This means that if you are not in the role it shows the message as expected, but if you are in the role I don't want it to show anything, but it shows a ".". Can you allow blank messages please?


ps - please excuse the silly title - I can't seem to edit it and forgot to fill it in.

Thanks
Rodney

"DisplayName" will not be available until the module is upgrade to DNN 4.x. The problem is that the minimum version of support is 3.1.1.

So if I try to summarise, what you are saying:-

* [FULLNAME] should be populated to "" for anonymous users.
* Allow blank messages to be displayed.

Is that correct?

Hi Scott,

Yes, basically any token that requires a user to be logged in should just be made invisible if you are logged out.
I got round the problem of blank messages by inserting " " but it would be great if the UI supports it. I have OFTEN seen requirements for the ability to show messages to people who are NOT in a role and this kinda allows you to with this functionality (you could possible market this or let people know as I think it is a sought-after requirement).

DisplayName - Any ideas when this might happen? It's quite a serious flaw as certain sites (mostly non-intranets) should never show any personal details and a lot of people make their UserName their name. This really is a big problem - I thought I read somewhere that this was scheduled for April. The Private Messages module is the one where it is the most obvious to the user.


Thanks
