Ok...my last one was a no-brainer...but I noticed that the token
[ent:user:id] is supposed to be replaced by userID right?

So..i tried to use it to intergrate withSmart-Thinker User Profile and aded this ref 

a href="http://www.loopypix.jp/tabid/940/ID/[ent:user:id]/Default.aspx">[ent:user:displayname]

with an opening brace*

 

I get an error on the new page "unhandld error adding module to cell"
leading me to believe that the above token is not replaced with the ID number...

can you add some insight to this?

**EDIT**
I changed to this
http://www.loopypix.jp/tabid/940/[ent:user:id]/Default.aspx
 and I get the userName...
The token is a little deciving..

Having said that. exposing the userID would be a great token. then this module can be used along with User Profile modules

Hi Mark,

It's a bug, it's putting in the username instead of the userid, I'll get a fix out today for you.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

Just released 1.0.7 which fixes this.  Glad to see you are using the powerful templates in digContest.  That's exactly one of the things we thought people could do with the module.

Thanks,

Mike

FYI, this change messed up the default template.. The numeric userid is now displayed in the main contest page.. I'm trying to figure out how to modify the layout and can't figure it out.. I change it, but it's not taking effect..

Nevermind, I figured out the template thing.  I had to resart the application..  It's working correctly.   You may want to update your default template.

Sorry for the breaking change, I'll release an update tonight that will show the "displayname" in all templates.

For maximum performance, we cache the templates, in the action menu of the module, where you select "Admin" to get into the digContest admin, there is an option for "Clear Contest Cache" that will clear the template cache.

Thanks,
Mike
