Hi, I am doing exactly same thing and ran into small problem.

Here is what I am doing: Getting user permission to acces their data from facebook (name, email and such) - getting access token. I am also using Facebook C# SDK. Then I create new umbraco member from that data. For members created from facebook data I have special member type "FromFacebook".

The problem: umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member.MakeNew(string Name, MemberType mbt, User u) is replaced by System.Web.Security.Membership.CreateUser(string username, string password, string email). New constructor (or it's overloads) do not support MemberType and I am not able to control what member type new member will have. Also I was not able to find way of changing member type after it is created.

Actually, if you use System.Web.Security.Membership.CreateUser(string username, string password, string email) (or it's overloads) you will always get new member of type specified in web.config (<add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Member_Type" passwordFormat="Hashed" />)

Similar problem was mentioned some time ago here http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/5701-Change-member-type-programatically

Any ideas of how it should be done correct way using asp Membership model?

Hi SideSam

Has Member.Make new actually been replaced, or is it just recommended that you used the .net membership provider stuff?
I think you should still  be able to use Member.MakeNew? Other than that I don't know, unless you can use a role?

Maybe create a separate post asking how to add members as specific types?

Just create another provider with a different defualt member type.

I have two member types and that is what I did.

For anyone that has got the Facebook c# SDK working with Umbraco what version did you use. If I drop the latest Facebook.Web.dll into Umbraco I get the error:

Error parsing XSLT file:

for all of my xslt files.

Cheers,

Recompiled facebook dlls and its working now..

Hey for anyone coming at this and trying to use the more recent Facebook SDK here is how I implemented the above.

The c# SDK is now here

you can install it with NuGet pretty easily.

You will also need to set your app up within facebook by loging into facebook and going to the developers section

I setup a new member type which (along with some other fields) has a facebook user id field

After reading the getting started SDK documentation which is pretty well written and clear, I implemented the following to get the LOGIN button to appear

window.fbAsyncInit = function () {
    FB.init({
        appId: 'YOUR AP ID', // App ID
        status: true, // check login status
        cookie: true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
        xfbml: true  // parse XFBML
    });

    // Additional initialization code here
    FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function (response) {
        if (response.status === 'connected') {
            // the user is logged in and has authenticated your
            // app, and response.authResponse supplies
            // the user's ID, a valid access token, a signed
            // request, and the time the access token 
            // and signed request each expire
            var uid = response.authResponse.userID;
            var userAccessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;


            $.post("/Base/FacebookLogin/LogUserIn", { accessToken: userAccessToken }, function callback(data) {
                if (data != "error") {
                    alert(data);
                } else {
                    displayMessage("Error", "Oops! something has gone wrong we will look into it now.", "errormessage")
                    return "error";
                }
            });

        } else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
            // the user is logged in to Facebook, 
            // but has not authenticated your app
        } else {
            // the user isn't logged in to Facebook.
        }
    });
};

// Load the SDK Asynchronously
(function (d) {
    var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    if (d.getElementById(id)) { return; }
    js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
    js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
    ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
} (document));

Then on your output page you need to have the div to hold the log in button

NOTE: You have to set the scope of your app in order to access the users email address (this took me a while to fnd out) read more about the scope options here

You can see above that once the user has authenticated I call a BASE method to do the authenticating basically you need to pass your BASE method the access token created by the login JS (I am using JQuery).

NOTE: I am not sure if it is okay to use AJAX for this? Are there any security buffs who could comment on this? the SDK page uses a post method to a web service but I thought this would be easier.

As described above my BASE method basically takes the access token and gets the users details. It then uses UQuery to check if a member in my Umbraco install exists with that UID, if it does log them in if it doesnt then create a new member and log them in.

        public static string LogUserIn()
        {
            string accessToken = HttpContext.Current.Request["accessToken"];
            try
            {
                var client = new FacebookClient(accessToken);
                dynamic user = client.Get("me");
                /*we have authenticated the user now we must either create a new member or log them is as an existing member*/
                System.Collections.Generic.List ExistingMember = uComponents.Core.uQuery.GetMembersByXPath("//*[facebookUserId = '" + user.id + "']");
                if (ExistingMember.Count() > 0)
                {
                    Member.AddMemberToCache(ExistingMember[0]);
                    return ExistingMember[0].Id.ToString();
                }else{
                    return createNewUser(user);
                } 
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                return e.Message + " "+e.StackTrace;
            }
        }

Notice how awesome UQuery is for searching

uComponents.Core.uQuery.GetMembersByXPath("//*[facebookUserId = '" + user.id + "']");

I also created a little method to create a new user and pass back the ID

        private static String createNewUser(dynamic facebookUser)
        {
            MemberType siteUser = new MemberType(1085);
            Member newMember = Member.MakeNew(facebookUser.name, siteUser, new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0));

            newMember.getProperty("facebookUserId").Value = facebookUser.id;
            newMember.getProperty("name").Value = facebookUser.first_name + " " + facebookUser.last_name;
            newMember.LoginName = facebookUser.id;
            newMember.Email = facebookUser.email;
            newMember.Save();
            Member.AddMemberToCache(newMember);
            return newMember.Id.ToString();
        }

PS I am including the following libraries (I always hate it when people dont specify this is there an easy way to find out what libraries you need  to use for different methods in VS?)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Facebook;
using System.Web;
using uComponents.Core;
using umbraco.BusinessLogic;
using umbraco.MacroEngines.Library;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.relation;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.propertytype;

I really hope this is useful, TBH it really didnt take me too long to get this implemented, I am still playing around with it too so If I spot anything that I have missed from the above I will post in the comments.

Finally If I am doing something above that is crazy I would love a heads up :)
