I can create new members in the Umbraco back office, and use them to log into the site. However the Member Types section is missing. Also in the create a new member there is no way to enter the member's name.
Can the Member Types (properties on the member) be used with a different membership provider than the built in Umbraco one?
Yes I have seen the documentation for the MemberService. I am using the MemberService api in my application when doing anything with the members.
I guess I wasn't very clear above. I have configured my applicaiton to use SqlMembershipProvider. In the back office I have the member section, but it is missing the place (called Member Types) where you can create different types of members and add and configure properties to them. My question is: is the Member Types part supposed to be missing, when you use a different membership provider or ? ?
Using SqlMembershipProvider with Umbraco 7.1.1 Member Types missing?
Hello,
I am asking this questions as the membership services was recently overhauled, and maybe things have changed since 7.0
I have a new Umbraco 7.1.1 site that I have configured to use SqlMembershipProvider following the instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3046860/can-the-sqlmembershipprovider-be-used-with-umbraco/22290393#22290393 .

Am I missing something?
Hi Todd and welcome to our :)
You write that the member section is missing? Is that in the backoffice you can't see it?
Don't know if you have seen the documentation on the new member api here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/MemberService
Hope this helps.

Hi Todd
Ah sorry, did not catch that from the first post even though you linked to the guide on how to change it...d'oh! :)
Well...I have not tried changing this myself so unfortunately I don't have any clue wether this is normal behavior or not.
