Just missed a question. How can the registered users have their profile edited? What do I need to set-up?

Thanks again.

Hi Harry

You can look at a project I have been working on called osMemberControls - you can download the latest source code at osmembercontrols.codeplex.com.  This will allow you to register members and also allow members to update their profile.  Do you know how to install user controls?  If you're a developer you could easily extend the source code to send an email after a user has registered.

Hi skiltz,

Yes, I already have a copy of your project. I'll try to install it a little later. Can you point me to the right direction where the user will receive an email after registering? BTW does your user control allows me to place additional text fields for more information? And no, i'am not a developer. Installing user controls is like installing a package right?

Thank you.

Hi curlybub,

skiltz approach is a good generic approach as it's supposed to work with any type of data for a member.

I've used the standard asp.net controls for doing all this kind of stuff (registering, login, member profile update). Both solutions require some work if you need to send out confirmation mails tho

Re 3: I've made a dashboard control (a user control that sits in the admin ui) a while ago to export a list of members (filtered by group and registration date - but can easily be extended) to Excel. Also tommy poulsen is working on a package (think he's got a first version already online - not sure tho) to list members filtered by membergroup. Might be worth looking into that as well. Just shout if you're interested.

Please do send your control at curlybub26@gmail.com. Im so excited with this one! hahaha!

Hi Skiltz,

I downloaded the osMemberControls on the umbraco projects page. I was able to put the macro on the template. But when I try to preview the page it gives me the error below.</p> <div style="color: black; border: red 2px solid; padding: 3px;"><strong style="color: red;">Error creating control (/usercontrols/osMemberControls/MemberProfile.ascx).
Maybe file doesn't exists or the usercontrol has a cache directive, which is not allowed! See the tracestack for more information!</div>

What did I do wrong? Can you guide me through.

Thank you.

If you add ?umbdebugshowtrace=true to the address bar it should show you the error.  Also if you are using the "tab layout" option then you will need to make sure your template has a scriptmanager control loaded.  To add a script manager to your template do something like <asp:scriptmanager id="sm1" runat="server" />.  Hope this helps.

Hi again skiltz,

I dont have ?umbdebugshowtrace=true on the address bar when i preview the page that I created. I'm testing this package locally. Here is the contents of my template.

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
 <umbraco:Macro ShowSingleTab="0" TabToShow="" RedirectOnSuccess="1056" ShowAsTabLayout="0" AllowEmailUpdate="1" EmailRequiredMessage="Please enter a valid email address" ShowGenericProperties="1" ButtonText="Hello" Alias="osMemberProfile" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
</asp:Content>

And Im still getting the same error.

Thank you.

I think the .dll on the web control is not included on the zip file. I extracted the file on my desktop.

is working on a reply...
