Hi Sean,

Check out this blog series (4 parts) which walks through exactly how to do this :)

Hi:

That seems like it's going to do the trick.

Does anyone know whether there's a way of creating a member type programmatically. I'm visually impaired and current carn't see the inerface.

I realise Umbraco has an api, and wondered whether I could do this without too much trouble.

Any help apreciated.

Cheers

Sean

Sean, Umbraco uses (by default) the ASP.NET Membership API, meaning you can do something like this:

Membership.CreateUser("UserName@DomainName", "P@ssw0rd", "userName@emailAddress"); 

Adn that will create you a user; I've had trouble from that point regarding profiles but got around that by just extending the database with my own tables and referencing the member identifier (ProviderUserKey) as a PK or soft reference.

See this dated but relevant MSDN article.

Hi Sean,

To create a Member Type via the API you can use this code:

umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.MemberType.MakeNew(umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetCurrent(), "Name of Member Type");

@Grant, I've found great success using this method to handle Profiles:  http://www.aaron-powell.com/umbraco-members-profiles

Hope this helps,
Tom
