    You know man this is crazy, you guys keep putting bits of nothing for answers. I and many others need to know how to send the variable for things like username or uid to postwrap pages and all we get is answers like if the rainbow is colorful it must be a lot of gold. Darn dudes why not just answer the questions, is it a ego thing....

    I don't mean to sound ungrateful cause its a wonderful product. It's just it has taken me buying a post-nuke book, reading endless forums and asking 100's of questions and still not getting a real answer ( and please don't respond with it depends on what a real answer is). All the time and money spent, and whenever I get the answer it still will not teach me anymore than I already would have know if you would have just given the answer. Somethings require extensive research and that is fine, however it's like a kite, its not true learning until someone tell you how to do a loop d loop. you may have stumbled upon how to do it, but if someone showed you how you would know and probably learn it and move on to learning more....Stop telling me things aren't trivial and show me how...

    Have you contacted the author/maintainer of postwrap? Unless PostNuke is now officially supporting other people's modules I would suggest actually contacting the right people for the support you want.

    ...and don't forget, you get what you pay for...

    No one is obligated to do anything at all...so quit your complaining and ask some real questions if you want some real answers.

    OK you are right and I will say what I said earlier ( This is not an attemp to put down the site (I don't know how to do any of this stuff hardly, which means you guys are definitely more advanced than i am, I am not complaining I am just frustrated.... It is not meant to be combative, I WILL LOOSE, I am not stupid I know that. You guys do a lot and it is sincerely appreciated... If I seemed combative I apologize, and I will donate also because this is an excellent product, Is there a way I can learn to build a module quickly, I am about a sophmore with PHP. Also ( How would I go about passing usernames and userid's to a postwrap page, without the insecurity of URL passing... If it can't be done how do you pass it through URL...

    sometimes anger gets quicker response....Sorry to make anyone upset

    Well I appreciate your offer to donate, but I'm not "affiliated" with the PostNuke site...I'm just a volunteer like everyone else. My suggestion would be to hang onto your money and donate it to someone who actually has helped you...or donate it to one of the actual developer's of PostNuke, such as Mark West, for instance.

    Let's see... 7 posts for you ... 4 of those are this thread. One of those is a copy of something you said in this thread, that leaves two posts.

    Both of those two posts were posting in 2 mins of each other. Both of them are about the same issue, one of them should of been removed, but some how I missed the duplication. Both of them have answers asking you to help us help you, neither of them have responses from you providing that info.

    You are the only one to blame for your failure to get assistance.

    As far as I can see, you have yet to put in a support request that we can respond to with a solution. That's your problem, not ours.

    I'm sorry to be blunt, but having spent the whole weekend working, had 0 hours of sleep and to top it all off I'm ill, I don't have time to repond to any requests for help that do not make it easy for me to help the user.
