anyone :S  Guess I'll be digging in Umbraco source

Bump :S

For anyone interested, heres how I did - This basically creates a membertype and group with an alias of 'ForumUser', adds a tab called 'Content' to the member type and adds three properties to the Member type (1 x Textstring, 2 x Numeric)

            const string memberTypeAlias = "ForumUser";
            const string memberTypeName = "Forum User";
            const string memberTabName = "Content";
            const int textStringId = -88;
            const int numericId = -51;
            const string forumUserTwitterUrl = "forumUserTwitterUrl";
            const string forumUserPosts = "forumUserPosts";
            const string forumUserKarma = "forumUserKarma";

            // First Create the MemberType
            var mt = CreateMemberType(memberTypeAlias, memberTypeName);

            // Now create the tab
            mt.AddVirtualTab(memberTabName);

            // Add the properties            
            // 1) forumUserTwitterUrl > textString
            var dt = DataTypeDefinition.GetDataTypeDefinition(textStringId);
            mt.AddPropertyType(dt, forumUserTwitterUrl, "Twitter Username");
            var prop = mt.getPropertyType(forumUserTwitterUrl);
            prop.Mandatory = false;
            prop.TabId = GetTabByCaption(mt, memberTabName).Id;
            prop.Save();

            // 2) forumUserPosts > Numeric
            dt = DataTypeDefinition.GetDataTypeDefinition(numericId);
            mt.AddPropertyType(dt, forumUserPosts, "Users Post Amount");
            prop = mt.getPropertyType(forumUserPosts);
            prop.Mandatory = false;
            prop.TabId = GetTabByCaption(mt, memberTabName).Id;
            prop.Save();

            // 3) forumUserKarma > Numeric
            dt = DataTypeDefinition.GetDataTypeDefinition(numericId);
            mt.AddPropertyType(dt, forumUserKarma, "Users Karma Amount");
            prop = mt.getPropertyType(forumUserKarma);
            prop.Mandatory = false;
            prop.TabId = GetTabByCaption(mt, memberTabName).Id;
            prop.Save();

            // Lastly create the group
            MemberGroup.MakeNew(memberTypeAlias, User.GetUser(0));

Hope it helps someone :)

Hi,

This is just what I was looking for.

Unfortunatly, I got stuck on the first line of code : CreateMemberType is not recognised ! I'm using Umbraco v6.
I found out I could replace that line with :

  MemberType mt = MemberType.MakeNew(User.GetUser(0), memberTypeAlias);

I then got stuck on another unrecognised method GetTabByCaption :
But it could be replaced with :

  prop.TabId= iTabID;

Where iTabID is instantiated when creating the new tab like so:

  // Now create the tab
  int iTabID = mt.AddVirtualTab(memberTabName);

Thanks Lee, it did help some1
Hope it helps some others 2 ...

Guys,

I had trouble too. (umbraco 6.2.1) But I finally got it like this:

Creating the membertype

public static MemberType CreateSimpleMemberType(string alias = null, string name = null)
        {
            
            var memberType = new MemberType(-1)
            {
                Alias = alias ?? "simple",
                Name = name ?? "Simple member",
                Description = "Some member type",
                Icon = ".sprTreeDoc3",
                Thumbnail = "user.png",
                SortOrder = 1,
                CreatorId = 0,
                Trashed = false
            };

            return memberType;
            
        }

Creating Properties in tabs + saving it

memberType.AddPropertyGroup("customtab");

var TextBoxDefinition = new DataTypeDefinition(-1, new Guid(Constants.PropertyEditors.Textbox));

memberType.AddPropertyType(new PropertyType(TextBoxDefinition) { Alias = "alias", Name = "Name", Description = "", Mandatory = false, SortOrder = 1 }, "customtab");

mts.Save(memberType);

The following functions couldnt be found (dont know whats going on here)

dt =DataTypeDefinition.GetDataTypeDefinition(numericId);
var mt =CreateMemberType(memberTypeAlias, memberTypeName);
mt.AddVirtualTab(memberTabName);

Hi take a look at http://www.charlesafford.com/blog-folder/umbraco-members-and-aspnet-membership-provider-1-1/

This should point you in the right direction :)

Anyone know the equivalent of the MemberType in Umbraco 7? Currently using Umbraco.Core.Models, but receive an error getting to the method MakeNew

MemberType.MakeNew

is working on a reply...
