I noticed that the Einstein project does not contains a  <userid> of zero when other projects contain the userid (note this may occure for the teamid as well. I was going to use this to index this into the boincstats website. Here is the xml fragment:.

 

<project>
    <master_url>http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/</master_url>
    <project_name>Einstein@Home</project_name>
    <symstore></symstore>
    <user_name>xyzzy</user_name>
    <team_name>Canada</team_name>
    <host_venue>home</host_venue>
    <email_hash>xyzzy</email_hash>
    <cross_project_id>xyzzy</cross_project_id>
    <external_cpid></external_cpid>
    <cpid_time>1099888472.000000</cpid_time>
     <userid>0</userid>
    <teamid>0</teamid>

Albert@Home shows the same

Albert@Home shows the same thing. I have to look up where this information comes from and why it is not provided by our projects. In the meantime you can always look at your Account Credentials page for your BOINC ID. It does not change ever so you don't need to parse client_state.xml.

Thank you  for your Response

Thank you  for your Response Christian,

The purpose of the userid is to use this as an index into the  boincstats website ( from and application )  and unless there is a rest call to get the value from the account Credentials page I am currently unable to provide the boincstats page to the user.

 

Regards,

Bob
