Hi Steven,

As I said yesterday I am not a backend developer, but I will try to help, as much as I can.

Have you seen this documentation about MemberShipHelpers:

http://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Querying/MemberShipHelper/index

There is a method, called .UpdateMemberProfile(); in the bottom of the, maybe you can use this method to update your profile.

Hope this helps,

Hi Steven,

For Umbraco 7 it would be best to use the new Member Service API - the documentation is up to date: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/MemberService.

Here's how you'd update a custom member property - assuming you have a member and the member is logged in:

// Get the member
var member = Member.GetCurrentMember();

// Check if there is a current member
if (member != null)
{
    // Update member properties
    member.getProperty("city").Value = model.City;

    // Save the updated member
    member.Save(); 
}

Hope this helps...

Hi Dan,

If I try "var member = Member.GetCurrentMember();" I get the error message "The name Member does not exist in the current context"? I have also tried "var member = Umbraco.Core.Services.Member.GetCurrentMember();" to no avail.

Thanks, Steven.

Where is this happening (razor view, controller etc)?  What assemblies are you referencing?  Are you creating a member and updating the properties in one go, or do you already have the member created and logged in?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for replying, appreciate it. This is in a controller and the user is already logged in at this point.

The assembly references I am using are:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using UmbracoCMS.Models;

Thanks again, Steven.

Try adding these references:

using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member;
using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;

Hi again,

I did some research and it turns out Umbraco 7 has overhauled the Member Service API, which is why very little of the documentation I can find online is actually working. In case anyone else is looking at how to do this in future, I've copied the working code below:

        // Check if the user is logged in
        if (!User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
        {
            // Send the user to the login page
            Redirect("/login");
        }

        // The model is not valid yet
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            // Display the current Umbraco page (do not redirect)
            return CurrentUmbracoPage();
        }

        // Create new instance of "MemberService"
        var memberService = Services.MemberService;

        // Get the details of the user currently logged in
        var profileModel = Members.GetCurrentMemberProfileModel();

        // Get the custom properties for the member
        var member = memberService.GetByEmail(profileModel.Email);

        // Check if the email address is in the database
        if (member == null)
        {
            ModelState.AddModelError("", "Sorry, we could not find the user to update");
            return CurrentUmbracoPage();
        }

        // Update the member properties
        member.Properties["city"].Value = model.City;

        // Save in Umbraco
        memberService.Save(member);

This didn't work for me.

Members.GetCurrentMemberProfileModel();

...yielded a null value, it seems MemberService is the only way to go as the Membership helper is broke.

However this did work for me.

// Create new instance of "MemberService"
var memberService = Services.MemberService;

// Expose the custom properties for the member
var member = memberService.GetByEmail(model.EmailAddress);

// Update the member properties
member.Properties["company"].Value = "Set Property";

// Save the object
memberService.Save(member);

The membership helper is only used to get the current email address anyhow which was in my login page model already.

Note the square brackets getting your property references.

As "umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member" is now deprecated its the only way to go without rolling your own.
