I am trying to output the node's creator or author email via Razor.
I notice Umbraco has a pagefield built in for "creatorName" and I have tried to use this to find the user, and then access the email, but I'm having no luck. I've had a look at the Member and Membership APIs but most of the examples are outdated or expired and I am using v6.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for this please? (or is it even possible?)
Note: users and members are different, and have a different API.
You probably want something like:
#{ var u = new User(currentPage.CreatorID); }
#u.Email;
Note: This will query the database for the user data.
This is for 4.x but I Think 6.x is the same. (or at least backwards compatible)

I'm trying to grab only properties "id" and "userPrincipalName" from the teacher when getting educationClasses with $expand=teacher as parameter. But whatever I do, I keep getting the full teacher/user object.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/education/classes?$expand=teachers($select=id,userPrincipalName)
But it gives the same result as this one:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/education/classes?$expand=teachers
What am I doing wrong?
Or is this one of the endpoints where the expand+select feature is not fully supported? I don't want the full teacher object because it contains assignedLicenses, assignedPlans, provisionedPlans and a whole lot of stuff I will never need in this request.
And...it's production, so I'd like to avoid using the BETA endpoint if possible.
Yep, looks like the underlying AAD storage doesn't support expand plus select.
You can see what is happening under the covers by appending the &$whatif to your query.
Not a lot we can do about this, as the AAD team aren't investing in adding richness here right now.
What is the best-supported approach for tracking logged-in Usernames/Ids in App Insights telemetry?
A User with Username "JonTester1" said some Pages he visited 4 hours ago were really slow. How can I see everything JonTester1 did in App Insights to trouble shoot/know which pages he's referring to?
Seems like User Id in App Insights is some Azure-generated anonymized thing like u7gbh that Azure ties to its own idea of the same user (thru cookie?). It doesn't know about our app's usernames at all.
I've also seen a separate field in App Insights called Auth Id (or user_AuthenticatedId in some spots), which looks to sometimes have the actual username e.g. "JonTester1" filled in - but not always... And while I don't see any mention of this field in the docs, it seems promising. How is our app's code/config supposed to be setting that Auth Id to make sure every App Insights log/telemetry has it set?
Relevant MS docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/usage-send-user-context
This looks to just copy one library Telemetry object's User Id into another... no mention of our custom, helpful Username/Id anyway... and most in-the-wild examples I see don't actually look like this, including MS docs own examples in the 3rd link below; they instead hardcode get a new TelemetryClient()
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/website-monitoring No mention of consistently tracking a custom Username/Id
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/api-custom-events-metrics#authenticated-users Shows some different helpful pieces, but still no full example. E.g. it says with only the setAuth... JS function call (still no full example of working client-side JS that tracks User) on the page, you don't need any server-side code for it to track custom User Id across both client-side and server-side telemetry sent to Azure... yet then it also shows explicit code to new up a TelemetryClient() server-side to track User Id (in the Global.asax.cs or where?)... so you do need both?
Similar SO questions, but don't connect the dots/show a full solution:
Azure Insights telemetry not showing Auth ID on all transactions
Application Insights - Tracking user and session across schemas
How is Application insight tracking the User_Id?

I'm hoping this question and answers can get this more ironed out; hopefully do a better job of documentation than the relevant MS docs...
The first link in your question lists the answer. What it does show you is how to write a custom telemetry initializer. Such an initializer lets you add or overwrite properties that will be send along any telemetry that is being send to App Insights.
Once you add it to the configuration, either in code or the config file (see the docs mentioned earlier in the answer) it will do its work without you needing to create special instances of TelemetryClient. That is why this text of you does not make sense to me:
[…] and most in-the-wild examples I see don't actually look like this, including MS docs own examples in the 3rd link below; they instead hardcode get a new TelemetryClient()
You can either overwrite the value of UserId or overwrite AuthenticatedUserId in your initializer. You can modify the code given in the docs like this:
if (requestTelemetry != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(requestTelemetry.Context.User.Id) &&
(string.IsNullOrEmpty(telemetry.Context.User.Id) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(telemetry.Context.Session.Id)))
{
// Set the user id on the Application Insights telemetry item.
telemetry.Context.User.AuthenticatedUserId = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
}
You can then see the Auth Id and User Id by going to your AI resource -> Search and click an item. Make sure to press "Show All" first, otherwise the field is not displayed.
Auth Id in the screenshot below is set to the user id from the database in our example:
We access the server from azure functions as well so we set the user id server side as well since there is no client involved in such scenarios.
There is no harm in settting it in both places, javascript and server side via an initializer. That way you cover all scenario's.
You can also manually add user id to app insights by
appInsights.setAuthenticatedUserContext(userId);
See App Insights Authenticated users
For most sobjects, they support queries such as find_by_... etc. However,
client.materialize("ActivityHistory")
returns a class that does not support query.
When I try to run ActivityHistory.query("anything")
I get...
Databasedotcom::SalesForceError: entity type ActivityHistory does not support query
I'm trying to extract the ActivityHistory for the last 30 days, and find out the account it lies in, and the user that created it.
Help, please!
I know this is late, putting it here for future reference.
Unfortunately the ActivtyHistory table is not directly accessible, it has to be queried through a relationship e.g. Account. For more info.. https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/8327/accessing-email-sent-in-activity-history-via-api
I'm doing some work with grades and the desire2learn Valence API. In the context I'm operating in, there is no way for us to get the orgUnitID directly. We are currently getting the Offering Code for each course but not the orgUnitID. Since the API requires the orgUnitID for any interactions with a course, is there any way to look up the orgUnitID using the offering Code for the course?
Thanks,
George
There is no call to search for a course by offering code, but, the offering code is set in the OrgUnitInfo structure. So I have seen people retrieve that structure as an indirection to get the actual ID. (For example when trying to retrieve grades)
If you have a user id for example you could get enrollments and go from there.
To answer further I would need a sense of how you wanted to walk the courses? Globally or for a specific user or something else?

I'm trying to add a comment system to our Posts model. However, I am not sure of the best way to go about it for a number of reasons. I'd like the comment system to be similar to that on Forrst.com but i'd rather have visitors who comment not need an account as the site is our company site not a large community.
Outline of features are:
Visitor can comment on post, entering name, email and comment.
Our team members can comment, i'd like these to be styled differently so would like the system to know it was from one of our team, they will be logged into the system when leaving a comment.
Visitors and team members can reply to a comment. The system needs to know which comment it was in reply to.
Lastly i'd like the system to know if the comment was written by the post author.
I have looked and been trying out acts_as_commentable_with_threading which seems perfect except everyone needs a user account to leave a comment, something I am trying to avoid unless anyone has other thoughts on that?
I have also implemented this myself by creating a comments model and using awesome_nested_set for the threading. Within the comments model I have a user_id which is only populated if the user is logged in (meaning they must be a team member), this seems a little messy though.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Oh, and I would love each person to be notified of a reply to their comment (if pos).
Thanks in advance.
There are lot of tools available to post comments and working with ruby on rails.
http://ruby-toolbox.com/categories/rails_comments.html
also you can customize according your own requirement instead of writing a messy code.
If you do not want to integrate a third-party service like Disqus, you have Juvia The Comments and Commontator. Also you can count with opinio as alternative. but only with Rails 3 and at the moment and as notice the development seems stalled.
