Thought I'd put this out here in case anyone else has worked through this already and has a more elegant approach - which is likely I suppose.
I have an Umbraco MemberType with loads of Properties and some Tabs for organization. What I'd like to do is include the MemberType in a Package that will allow others to install. [Eventually this will be included as part of the Commerce for Umbraco Package.]
At any rate, currently I have a SQL script that will create the MemberType, the Tabs, and the Properties - which is all fine and good but not very Umbracoish.
Paul best bet is to create a package action and add it as part of the community umbraco package action on codeplex.

I have also thought about that, but a membertype got properties like any normal Documenttype/mediatype so I have to agree with David (and voted for his feature request) to add the export/import of media types to the core of Umbraco.
@Paul. The package Action Contrib project will be updated (i think this weekend) with an extra Package Action that can execute SQL Scripts or inline SQL so maybe that will help you to execute the sql scripts you allready have.
Create Member Type with Package Install

Any thoughts on a cleaner approach?

Paul,
I logged this as a feature request on CodePlex - the clean solution is to get everyone to vote for it :)

Richard -
Any chance we'll see the 'Execute SQL' action in the package action contrib project this week?
Thanks,

Voted! Very annoying that this feature is missing.
And now, more than a year and several releases later I wish I could vote once more....
is working on a reply...
