Member property not set, but member is created

API Questions

Intro

Umbraco: 4.0.2.1
.net 3.5
Windows 2008 IIS7

Description

Adding a member to the membergroup "customers" works.

Exept, when I try to add member property values to the member (see code below, using getProperty), the property isn't filled?

MemberControls.cs


public static bool CreateMember(string MemberName, string MemberPassword, string MemberEmail)
        {
            try
            {
                MemberType mt = MemberType.GetByAlias("customer");
                Member m = Member.MakeNew("MemberName", mt, new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0));

                m.getProperty("ShopCustomerStreet").Value = "test";
                m.XmlGenerate(new System.Xml.XmlDocument());
 
                m.Save();

                return true;
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

web.config

 
add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="customer" passwordFormat="Hashed"

Hi Arnold,

When you debug , set a breakpoint on catch (Exception) I'm pretty sure that somewhere an exeption is thrown.

Hope it helps you,

Richard

@richard

Didn't include umbraco in my solution (only the dll) so I'll just set up a full umbraco solution then ;)

You don't have to. Only reference to umbraco, cms, businesslogic and Interaces dll's and it should work.

OMG! Umbraco already creates a user when using the asp:CreateUserWizzard! so that's why it didn't work! I tried to create the user AGAIN...

so this was enough:

public static bool CreateMember(string MemberName, string MemberPassword, string MemberEmail)
        {
                //Use a member type, it assumes a membertype with the alias "standard" is created
                //In the member section
 
                //select member just created
                Member m = Member.GetMemberFromEmail(MemberEmail);
 
                //set property
                m.getProperty("ShopCustomerStreet").Value = MemberName;
 
                //Generate member Xml Cache
                m.XmlGenerate(new System.Xml.XmlDocument());
 
                //Save member
                m.Save();
 
                return true;
 
        }

Umbraco uses the asp.net membership controls. So any asp.net membership controls should do what they are intended to do.

To create a membership control see the below code hope it helps


Creating Member Type Control :

While creating Member type Control programmatically first we have to create a website in .net

Open solution explorer right click on it and Add folders and ADD bin and right click on bin

click Add Reference and select Browse

businesslogic.dll

cms.dll

umbraco.dll

umbraco.DataLayer.dll

umbraco.editorControls.dll

controls.dll

interfaces.dll

Now right click on solution explore and click on Add New Item select Web User Control nad Name it as

AddMembers.acsx click on ok.

Now go to AddMembers.acsx.cs and add these Name spaces to play with Membertype programmatically.

using umbraco.BusinessLogic;

using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member;

using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory;

using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.datatype;

using umbraco.cms.businesslogic;

I)                   Our First target is to Create Membertype in Umbraco through Our .Net user control:-

For that Take user control and Add textbox and Bitton Controls from tool box.

Now on Button Create type click we have to write the code below.

The syntax for creating member type is

Syntax :- Membertype.makenew(user u , string text)

Where user is Admin or Editor etc provided / creted by umbraco.

String Text is the name of the Member type you want to create.

II)                Read All Member Types you Created:-

Now our second target is to read all the member types we created.

For that Go to .acsx and add Dropdownlist to Form.

umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member;

To read all the member types created the above name space provide one Function called

MemberType.GetAll.

We have to read all member types using an array like below and fill the dropdown according to that

MemberType[] mt = MemberType.GetAll;

III)             Delete Member Types:-

To delete member types we have to create Member Type by Alias Name and Delete it.

MemberType mt = MemberType.GetByAlias(DD_Membertypes.SelectedItem.Text);



mt.delete();

IV)                Create Tabs in Member Types:-

To create tab in Member Type first we have to create member type by its alias and call

AddVirtualTab() function.

MemberType mt = MemberType.GetByAlias("" + DD_Membertypes.SelectedItem.Text + "");

mt.AddVirtualTab(txt_TabText.Text);

V)                Add Properties to Tab:-

In this section total 3 parts are there

1)      Read and Display Data types in umbraco

2)      Read and Display Tabs Presented in umbraco

3)      Create Property by given Name

1)      Read and Display Data types in umbraco:-

Now our target is to read all the Data types we created / Exist in Umbraco.

For that Go to .acsx and add Dropdownlist to Form.

using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.datatype;

To read all the Data types created the above name space provide one Function called

DataTypeDefinition.GetAll.

We have to read all member types using an array like below and fill the dropdown according to that

DataTypeDefinition[] dt_Def = DataTypeDefinition.GetAll();

Note:- We have to bind Dropdown with Data Type Name and Data Type ID Fields.

2)      Read and Display Tab types in umbraco:-

Now our target is to read all the Tab types we created in Umbraco.

For that Go to .acsx and add Dropdownlist to Form.

To read all tabs we created first we have to create Member Type and using the For loop we have to read the Tab Types we created.

MemberType mt = MemberType.GetByAlias(DD_Membertypes.SelectedItem.Text.ToString());



foreach(umbraco.cms.businesslogic.ContentType.TabI t in mt.getVirtualTabs)

Note:- The Default tab Generic Properties we have to add manually to the data table.

3)      Create Property Type by Given Name:-

While creating Property first we have to create Member Type by its Alias

And

Create Data Type Definition by Data Type ID.

Now Create Property using the syntax:

1) Membertype.Addpropertytype (data type definition , string text , string alias text);

And add Property to the tab

2) property.TabId = selected tab’s TabID.

And Save the Property

3)Property.Save().

Note:- To add Property to Generic Properties tab ignore steps 2) and 3).
