    Adding membership - worth upgrading?

    Hi,

    I'm looking at adding membership area to a V3 site. Do you think it is worth upgrading to V4 at the same time. I've implemented membership providers for V4 before so it would be of advantage from that point of view. Any other thoughts?

    Thanks

    Paul

    You have a good reason to upgrade your site (familiar and easier membership handling). Umbraco 3 is stable and so is v4. All new development and packages (as well as a lot of community knowledge) is geared towared v4. 

    If the site were v3 and running well and didn't need new features or continued site development I'd probably leave it on v3. In your case...

    Is there any reason NOT to upgrade to v4? From what you've explained there is every reason to do the upgrade.

    (probably doesn't need to be stated, but... backups, backups, backups... well, there, I've said it)

     

    cheers,
    doug.

    Thanks Doug,

    The only reason not to would be the extra cost to the client for upgrading & testing. But doing the dev in V4 is more familiar so should make up some time there - assuming the upgrade path is pretty painless :)

    Cheers
