Using member groups and member fields in umbraco 6?

Hello,

I'm trying to access some things in my membership in my new Umbraco 6 project. I have a member logged into my front end. I want to check his Member roles and I also want to display a field I added to the member type (called firstName).

I'm digging around, this is probably super simple so if someone can pitch it I would appreciate it very much!

Thanks!

Hi Sébastien

I think this is what you are looking for:

Member member = Member.GetCurrentMember();
member.getProperty("alias");

In v6.0 it's best to use Andreas his example. In v6.1 there will be a new member API: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-1659

More info here: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet/working-with-members

Ok reaching that property seems to work!

Now how about member groups. So for example, I know that the user I'm login in with is in a member group called "Site A".

            if (Membership.ValidateUser(model.Username, model.Password))
            {
                // var member = Member.GetCurrentMember();
                // var firstName = member.getProperty("firstName");

                // Check if the user is in the member group
                var member = Membership.GetUser(model.Username);

                if (...) {
                    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.Username, false);
                }

                // ...
            }

So basically, I want to allow the user to login only if he's in the appropriate member group. (This is in a multi-site setup.)

Thanks for the help!

Seb
