    Add member to group with 'out of the box' membership partial

    Hi,

    I have a requirement for a simple membership system: register, log-in, reset password.

    Rather than tackle the daunting task of setting up Warren Buckley's (excellent) Standard Membership MVC project I was hoping to use the built-in partials in Umbraco (7.1.3) to handle this. I have them set up but have two issues:

    1. By default the member is not assigned to a member group. I can't see actually how to set a default group, and it would appear that all of the code for these partials is bundled into a dll. Is that right? If so, I think the only option would be to run a check on log-in to see if the member is assigned to a group and if not assign them. Seems a bit of a hack though.

    2. There doesn't seem to be any password reset/reminder facility in these tools, and as above, if all of the logic is wrapped into a dll then it makes adding this functionality very difficult.

    Could anyone suggest whether it's possible to get any kind of password reset/reminder integrated into this system or do I need to start from scratch, building a new membership system?

    Many thanks.

    EDIT It doesn't even seem that it's possible to get in to the log-in logic to add the member to a group (Q1 above), so this too would seem to be not possible. :(
