I am setting up membership for a site, and would like to give the members the possibility to upload one or more pictures to their profile.

What is the best practice regarding this? I have created a control that allows the members to edit their profile, but I am not sure I wish to include a Media Picker in that profile editor.

How should I approach this?

Thanks,
RasB

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@nodeTypeAlias = 'HomePage'">
<li class="menu-gap">&nbsp;</li>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<li class="menu-gap"><a href="/">home</a></li>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

when I'm on the homepage doc type, it is displaying the code in otherwise. What am I missing?

<umbraco:Item runat="server"  field="id" />

How do I get these node level attributes for use on a Master Page without using a macro?

I'm working on ImageGen 3 and the updated version has a number of fixes, including the important 'caching bug.' I don't want to wait to get this into users hands.

NOTE
If you use the ?text= parameter you may notice some small changes to the appearance of text images, as that area has seen a lot of work. If you do use ?text= you'll want to compare the images created by this updated version; you might need to modify your macros or css slightly to accommodate the changes in text handling. Otherwise, the update is fully backward compatible.

TO UPDATE IMAGEGEN
0. install ImageGen 2.0.1 normally
1. download and expand the updated .zip file from ImageGen.2.2.1.38932.zip
2. replace /bin/imagegen.dll
3. replace /umbraco/imagegen.ashx
4. delete all folders named 'cached' on your site

The following code gets called by umbraco.cms.businesslogic.Dictionary:

IRecordsReader dr =
	SqlHelper.ExecuteReader("Select id, [key] from cmsDictionary");

while (dr.Read())
{
	Guid tmp = dr.GetGuid("id");
	string key = dr.GetString("key");
	DictionaryItems.Add(key, tmp);
}
dr.Close();
cacheIsEnsured = true;

There were 2 records in cmsDictionary with the same key, so it makes sense that the exception (see below) was getting thrown. But is umbraco supposed to prevent dictionary items with the same name from being added? If so, how did this happen? If not, is there a bug that occurs when this happens? Has anyone else run into this problem? Not sure the proper protocol - should I open a case in Codeplex or should one post to this forum first?

Umbraco Version: 4.0.2.1
ASP.NET: 3.5

Big difference is that I only want to display the nodes in different ways, not rearranging them physically.

First I tried this:

public MyEvent() {
            umbraco.cms.presentation.Trees.BaseTree.BeforeNodeRender += new umbraco.cms.presentation.Trees.BaseTree.BeforeNodeRenderEventHandler(BaseTree_BeforeNodeRender);        
        }

        void BaseTree_BeforeNodeRender(ref umbraco.cms.presentation.Trees.XmlTree sender, ref umbraco.cms.presentation.Trees.XmlTreeNode node, EventArgs e)
        {
            // find the children of node, add subnodes to tree and be happy?
            // but node contains no childcollection and sender contains only siblings?
        }
}

... but neither sender nor node contains any ways to access the childnodes?

Can this be done? Another event? Or can I access the source xml tree before rendering starts?

Thx

I'm having problems with GetCurrentMember() in /base - having run debugger, it seems that the HttpContext.Current.User is null even when my user is logged in.

Should this function work, or is the User part of the context loaded after the requestModules fire?  I've also tried logging in the member via base, and this has the same issue?

Any suggestions?

Thanks, 

Chris

To activate the blog post creator, you need to have access to at least one blog

Any ideas why? I created the blog myself and can add posts to it fine.

Thanks

Just thought I'd raise this issue, its a very low priority bug however its good to reconise it and discus.

All the best, Laurie
