I'm using ASP.NET membership system for membership, roles & profiles.
It's all working but I can't create any properties on my member type/role in Umbraco UI. When I open the member group in Umbraco UI it says 'Not editable from Umbraco'
I've created a profile class that inherits from ProfileBase and I want to use that to provide a link between my Umbraco member properties and the ASP.NET Profile.
You can only create new properties when you use the default Umbraco Membership provider. This is because its using the Umbraco API to create/edit properties. So a custom membership provider will not work to edit the properties, you should build something yourself.
Thanks alot for your reply. Sorry for my naievty on the matter, I really don't understand which step to take now. Is there a way to take advantage of the ASP.NET Membership system (for quick controls etc, whilst using Umbraco's Member data properties?)
I'm not too good at custom .NET code so I'd like to take an easy option here.
If you install Umbraco the norma Membership system comes out of the box. Only difference is that it is a custom implementation of Umbraco instead of the asp,net membership provider. On your website you can still use all the membership controls and it you want to use profiles on the front-end of your website you can still use the www.aaron-powell.com/umbraco-members-profiles blogpost.
So if you want an easy implementation. Just restore the membership settings in the web.config then it uses the Umbraco membership provider and you can edit properties directly in the back-office.
ASP.NET Membership Profiles, Can't create member properties..?
Hi there!
I'm using ASP.NET membership system for membership, roles & profiles.
It's all working but I can't create any properties on my member type/role in Umbraco UI. When I open the member group in Umbraco UI it says 'Not editable from Umbraco'
I've created a profile class that inherits from ProfileBase and I want to use that to provide a link between my Umbraco member properties and the ASP.NET Profile.
Have I done something wrong somewhere?
Here's my custom class:
using System;
using System.Web.Profile;
namespace TWBHelper
{
public class ProfileStandard : ProfileBase
{
[SettingsAllowAnonymous(false)]
public string FirstName
{
get
{
var o = base.GetPropertyValue("first_name");
if (o == DBNull.Value)
{
return string.Empty;
}
return (string)o;
}
set
{
base.SetPropertyValue("first_name", value);
}
}
}
}

I followed http://www.aaron-powell.com/umbraco-members-profiles article but it looks like it's may have led me astray...

Hi Richard
Ok thanks! For some reason I thought needed to switch things to use the ASP.NET controls, that's great to hear! Thanks.!
is working on a reply...
