I just installed the umbraco Member Controls package by Niels and I'm missing something that was in one of the older versions (probably by another author as well).
You used to be able to return the logged in user via this method: "Welcome, %%REALNAME%%." Where the %%REALNAME%% text was replaced by the logged in user's name.
Is there a way to do this with the package in the current repository (v1.0)?
If you're using Umbraco 4 the member controls are no longer supported. Membership now is provided by the ASP.NET Membership provider model. See this blog post of mine on how to better integrate your members with an ASP.NET Profile Provider: http://www.aaron-powell.com/blog/july-2009/umbraco-member-profiles.aspx, I also cover how to then display the data on a page.
Awesome! That will work great and is much more flexible, thanks.
As a suggestion, maybe repository packages should display the supported umbraco version info, as it currently there is no way to tell what is and isn't supported on v4 that I can see. Ideally, the repository should accept a parameter that tells what version of umbraco you're visiting from (if using the built in packages section) and then will only show packages that are created for your version, etc.
