Can't you override the CreateUser() method? Users are also based on membership provider, so, if you inherit from users membership provider already implemented in umbraco, and just override the CreateUser() method. (Just theoretically, haven't tried it myself)

Are you talking about Users or Members? I am using the umbraco backoffice ui to create a new Member, and wants to set the LoginName myself using the Member events.

How can I override the CreateUser() method? In the umbraco source code? How do I get umbraco to call my CreateUser() method instead?

/Dennis

You're right, we should be talking 'bout members, but principle is quite the same. You'd need to create a custom membership provider, probably inheriting from the umbraco membership provider class and only override the CreateUser() method. You don't need to call the CreateUser() method yourself, that's done by the asp.net runtime when using the asp.net membership controls (if you use those of course)

Let me know if this is still unclear.

Hi Dennis, I think you're looking for something like this:

        // adding users to default roles when creating the user
        protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnInit(e);
            CreateUserWizard1.CreatedUser += new EventHandler(CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser);
        }
 
        // event call to add the user role...
        void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Member registeredMember = Member.GetMemberFromLoginName(CreateUserWizard1.UserName);
 
            // try to save the entire profile with all the data that we filled in...
            if (registeredMember != null && registeredMember.Id > 0) {
                try {
                    //Member profile update based on info found in registration wizard
                    UpdateMember(registeredMember);
                } catch {
                    Log.Add(LogTypes.Custom, User.GetUser(0), Node.GetCurrent().Id,
                        new StringBuilder().Append("Error while persisting member profile info for member '").Append(registeredMember.Text).Append("' (").Append(registeredMember.Id).Append(")!").ToString());
                }
            }
 
            CreateUserWizard1.LoginCreatedUser = false;
        }

Then in your "UpdateMember" method, you can set and save the member details from there:

        private void UpdateMember(Member member)
        {
 
            // do member stuff and save the member
            member.LoginName="my login name..."; // set member name here...
            member.Save(); // save umbraco member properties
        }

Hopefully this will get you going in the right direction.

...or, like Dirk sugst you can create your own Membership provider like:

<!-- Membership Provider -->
    <membership defaultProvider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="60">
      <providers>
        <clear /> 
        <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="YourNameSpace.CustomMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="siteUser" passwordFormat="Hashed" />
        <!-- <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Company" passwordFormat="Hashed" /> -->
      </providers>
    </membership>

And then your class would look something like:

public override System.Web.Security.MembershipUser CreateUser(string username, string password, string email, string passwordQuestion, string passwordAnswer, bool isApproved, object providerUserKey, out System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus status)
{
     return base.CreateUser(username, password, email, passwordQuestion, passwordAnswer, isApproved, providerUserKey, out status);
}

Just another flavor...

Cheers...

Dirk and Nick: Thank you very much for your answers and details.Much appreciated.

A custom membership provider it is then :-)

Hi Dennis

Did this work for you?

Does the administrator's tool in the umbraco admin use the membership provider when it creates members?

I have just implemented a new Create dialog in the Members section.   You can now set the login for the user seperately from their name.   This will be included in version 4.5.2   The login name and the email are also verified to be unique and not in the db.  member is not created if either is not unique.

also you should use the memberTasks.NewMember event in the UI  This fires are the loginname & password are set.  Member.New fires as soon as the member node is created, before the loginname or password are set.

is working on a reply...
