I'm looking to setup a member system (registration,login ETC) for a website on 4.7. I've been googling, searching for an up to date tutorial, reference guide on the matter but can't find one. (Sorry If its quite easy to find!)
I've setup a system before with the old < 4.5 member API, but I'm wondering if its worth switching to the new approach? Is there a steep learning curve? Are there any websites you guys could point me to get started? I have no experience with the .NET membership system so hoping it won't take too long to understand it all.
The easiest is indeed to work with the ASP.net Membership provider from Microsoft. The UmbracoMembershipProvider "extends" it. The advantage is that you can use all out-of-the box controls from Microsoft for managing members (login form etc.), as well as the Membership objects in your code-behind if needed.
You can also map some of the MembershipProvider properties with your Umbraco Member Type, which then allows you to manage the properties from the Umbraco admin console (section Members).
Setting up a member system

Hello,

There is a wiki article that can help you start with it at : our.umbraco.org/.../umbracomembershipprovider-properties
One important thing is not to forget to set the "MemberType" attribute to the alias of your MemberType in the Umbraco backend.
Hope this helps, and do not hesitate to ask more info if you need.
Cheers,
Michael.
