Hi,

After some serious fiddling with custom membership providers i just want to air my findings and hopefully get some input however this is sane :)

My members is stored elsewhere and retrieved using a API which returns JSON as the result, no worries there.

So, i create a new MyMembershipProvider : MembershipProvider, does the necessary web.config settings and all is working as expected.

But now i need to be able to edit the members using Umbracos backend, i can expand the members node, search among them and select an member.

When the member is show not all custom properties are displayed, not using the default "Member" type anymore since this is an custom provider.

The dilemma is, should one build a new custom section in order to show, edit, create new members, in other words, new views, new Angular controllers etc, or is there some other way, smarter, to make this work?

I could build all logic by my own and just hide the built in "Members" node, but is this right?

Thoughts?

Best regards Robert
