    Delete a member

    I could use som help on deleting a member. Website visitors can subscribe to a newsletter on the website, and gets created as a member with a specific membertype. (The email is also used as the member name.)

    My take would be to have an unsubscribe page with the pasing of the email of the member to be beleted by querystring (like /[email protected]). Then find the member by the email and then delete him... 

    But how do i do it codewise? :-) And can it be done in xslt?

    Thanks in advance!

    Rather than deleting a member I have a switch that says they have unsubscribed.

    If they resubscibe with this email I reset their account

    Thanks Paul, i'll remember that for next time. For Got it working with:

    if
     
     (Member.IsMember(umbraco.library.RequestQueryString("email")))
    {
     
      Member deleteMember = Member.GetMemberFromEmail(umbraco.library.RequestQueryString("email"));
      deleteMember.delete();
    }

    Hello Horsted!

     

    Daniel Lindstrom wrote something you should keep in mind when deleting users.

    The usual reason for not allowing deletion of users in systems have to do with audit trail, logging and such.

    A very basic example: If user X was the last one to edit and publish a document, if you deleted that user and then for some reason needed to know by who, why and how that page was created/changed/published the data would be incomplete.

    Not being able to delete a user in an environment with audit trail and rollback features is definitely a good thing.

    You could argue that some more permanent kind of inactivation would be nice to have, some that stored the deleted user out of sight for an administrator doing everyday work."

    Regards,
    Fredrik

    Hi Fredrik,

    Thanks for your response! I agree, that users (for the backend) should not be deleted. I'm deleting members who doesn't have access to the backend, which sould be fine, right? :-)

    Cheers, horsted

    I think it's okay to delete a member, though depending on the site and situation you might want to simply remove them from the relevant member group(s) as a way to 'unsubscribe' them.

    cheers,
    doug.
