Dear all, I know I have the building block documentation within my grasp,
but what I've looked at doesn't make much sense to non-techie me. I've
received a query from an academic who wants to get his students from his
blackboard course to something outside of Bb, but needs to be able to pick
up their user-id. It all went over my head, so I said I'd forward to where I
know someone else might know. Amongst you guys out there, can anyone explain
where to get the $user_id from for a Bb course (we're linux + oracle), or is
this going to be more than something the academic can do and is something we
need a serious bit of block building to get hold of?
Thanks!

Subject: extracting userid
Hi Kate,
I've asked Stuart the following question:
I need to create a dynamic external URL, e.g.
http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dma0jfb/test.php?user_id=$user_id
where I extract the $user_id used in the BlackBoard Login,
within one of my DUO course. The question is what the "Smart Text"
(or trick) required to achieve this.
Could you posibly post this for me please - that is if it makes sense?
Thanks,
James
