Hi Pinal,

Take a look at this web.Config:

 <membership defaultProvider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
      <providers>
        <clear />
          <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type" passwordFormat="Hashed" />
          <add name="UsersMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.UsersMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" />
        </providers>
       </membership>
       <profile defaultProvider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" enabled="true" >
           <!--inherits="BeComputed.MemberProfile"-->
          <providers>
              <clear />
              <add name="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoProfileProvider, umbraco.providers" />
          </providers>
          <properties>
              <clear />
              <add name="nombre" allowAnonymous="false"  provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
              <add name="apellidos" allowAnonymous="false"  provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
              <add name="fechaexpiracion" allowAnonymous="false"  provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.DateTime" />
          </properties>
      </profile>
      <!-- added by NH to support membership providers in access layer -->
    <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="UmbracoRoleProvider">
        <!--AspNetSqlRoleProvider-->
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="UmbracoRoleProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoRoleProvider" />
        <!--<add connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" applicationName="UMBRACO" name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
        <add applicationName="UMBRACO" name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />-->
      </providers>
    </roleManager>
    <!-- Sitemap provider-->
    <siteMap defaultProvider="UmbracoSiteMapProvider" enabled="true">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="UmbracoSiteMapProvider" type="umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.UmbracoSiteMapProvider" defaultDescriptionAlias="description" securityTrimmingEnabled="true" />
      </providers>
    </siteMap>

Ensure that the defaultProvider is UmbracoMemberProfileProvider and that is set to true:

<profile defaultProvider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" enabled="true" >

HTH.

Sincere regards,
Eduardo

Eduardo, Thanks a lot for prompt response. 

This is fine in my case. Below is the exact entry i have in my web.config:

 <profile defaultProvider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" enabled="true">
    <providers>
        <clear />
         <add name="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoProfileProvider, umbraco.providers" />
    </providers>
    <properties>
         <clear />
         <add name="FirstName" allowAnonymous ="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
         <add name="LastName" allowAnonymous ="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
         <add name="DisplayName" allowAnonymous ="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
         <add name="LoginProvider" allowAnonymous ="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
         <add name="LoginProviderUID" allowAnonymous ="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
         <add name="AuthProvider" allowAnonymous ="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
         <add name="ThumbnailUrl" allowAnonymous ="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String" />
    </properties>
</profile>

And here is the code snippet i used to access profile which is not working:

var profile = ProfileBase.Create(userName, true); 

  profile["FirstName"] = fName;

                profile["LastName"] =lName;

                profile["DisplayName"] = displayName;

                profile["LoginProvider"] = CookieManager.GetCookieValue(CookieHelper.COOKIE_GIGYA_INFO, "loginProvider") ?? string.Empty; ;

                profile["LoginProviderUID"] = CookieManager.GetCookieValue(CookieHelper.COOKIE_GIGYA_INFO, "loginProviderUID") ?? string.Empty; ;

                profile["AuthProvider"] = "gigya";

                 profile["ThumbnailUrl"] = thumbnailURL;

profile.Save();

Hi Pinal,

If what you want is to add properties to your members, first you have to add those properties in Members section->memberTypes folder->[memberType]

http://es.tinypic.com/r/29dbmm9/7

Then you should fgetthis properties with the getProperty method:

var member = Member.GetMemberByName("xxx");

var name = member.getProperty("realname").Value;

HTH.

i c.... thanks for the update. I need to look into this. I could not find any good link for basic information on using Membership/Role/Profile providers for Umbraco. Can you suggest any? it would of gr8 help.

Hi Pinal,

I don't know any site to look for this information.

Otherwise if you want to create a typed profile I can help you but, as I said before, I highly recommend you to create profiles from Umbraco's backend.

Sincere regards,
Eduardo

Thanks Eduardo. I love this community. Though Umbraco is very worst in terms of documentation... this community is great.

I will try to implement  Profiles in Umbraco way and let u know.

Once again thanks a lot.
