  I'm using postwrap to show an asp site that requires login in the form

  Code

  http://www.othersite.com/login.asp?uid=username&pwd=password

  
  
  How can I write the menu link to include the currently logged in user's username (uname) and password (pass)? The user will also exist with the same credentials on the other site.

  You can get the username via
  

  Code

  pnUserGetVar('uname');

  
  However, I don't know of a way to retreive the password (not from that function, anyway) - it's a one-way encryption hash into the database, so there's no way to retreive & "unencrypt" it...
  
  And you couldn't put the above in a menu link - you would have to put it in a PHP block or hard code it into the menu block...

  Keep in mind, when using special characters (i.e. & %) in the page variable in the address bar and sometimes in the URL Security settings, you must translate the characters to their ASCII hex value preceded by a %. The ? is %3F and & is %26.
  
  Example:
  page=http://somedomain.com/page.php?somevar=50&othervar=login
  
  Becomes:
  page=http://somedomain.com/page.php%3Fsomevar=50%26othervar=login

  So, if I create a new block with content type core/php, how would I write the code to create the link and insert the username :?:.

  Code

  $username = pnUserGetVar('uname');
  
  echo '<a href="http://www.yourpnsite.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=http://www.othersite.com/login.asp%3Fuid='.$username.'">Click here</a>';

  Thanks Shawn! That worked great. Storing the password as clear text would not be a very good idea anyway.
