    Verifying members after registration

    Hi:

    I'm in the process of implementing a social network using Umbraco, I am trying to sort he registration out.

    What the client would like is when a user registers a link is sent to them, in order to activate thee account they have to click on the link. Has anyone done this, or is this in the core/available in a package?

    Any help apreciated.

    Regards

    Sean.

    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
