- use the asp.net membership system -> works ok, but doing so means you won't be able to administer members from the umbraco admin backend unless you replace the current functionality with your own administration pages.
- use the builtin umbraco membership (which derives from the standard asp.net membership but uses its own custom tables for data storage) -> there's again two options in here: store custom member properties "the umbraco way" or store additional member properties in your own custom tables. Depending on your choice, you can use the member api or write your own code to store custom properties in the database.
I would prefer to use builtin Umbraco membership to store custom properties "the umbraco way". I created a registration page under 4.0.4.2 searching on the forum and on the net and has recently upgraded to 4.5.2. The same code did not work out and at visual studio, the intellisense shows that umbraco member class and its properties are obsolote. As a newbie, is there something which I have missed? If not is there any documentation or example which will put me into right direction for using custom properties?
Newbie Membership question,
Hi all,
It must be a newbie question for experienced user but there is a point which I stuck at and I would like to get your opinon.
I have been searching how to extend membership system of umbraco.
I would like to add custom fields into registration form and save it into umbraco database.
By achieving that should I used default umbraco membership system or just use asp.net membership system?
I am using 4.5.2 and as I said I would like to get your opinion on this issue.
there's a couple of options to choose from:
- use the asp.net membership system -> works ok, but doing so means you won't be able to administer members from the umbraco admin backend unless you replace the current functionality with your own administration pages.
- use the builtin umbraco membership (which derives from the standard asp.net membership but uses its own custom tables for data storage) -> there's again two options in here: store custom member properties "the umbraco way" or store additional member properties in your own custom tables. Depending on your choice, you can use the member api or write your own code to store custom properties in the database.
Hope this helps.
