I'm working on a solution where the users (logged in as members) use and interact on the site. They're small teams and each team has a leader. The login of the members are controlled by the leader.
I want to create members which has no emailaddress, but it doesn't seem to be an easy thing. A few hours of Google-wisdom, tells me it is possible but I've failed to find any elegant ways. Closest I've come, is to set a temporary email when creating and immediately clearing it again. This doesn't seem as a stable solution though - for instance, validation in backend denies me saving a member with no email.
Is there an easy fix for having members without emailaddresses?
Not exactly the answer you'd hoped for, but I don't think you're able to save members with no email, no :-/ The email has always been a mandatory field in Umbraco. Best bet is to set a dummy e-mail address, that indicates it should be changed asap. I.e.: [email protected] or some such.
I guess you could roll up your own, custom membership provider where the e-mail field isn't mandatory, but that's quite a lot more work and I'm not sure if the backend in Umbraco want's to play with it (honestly can't remember, so if anyone knows this, please let me know)
