Hi Sune,

If you are using Umbraco 7, you could take a look at the pre-defined Razor code snippets for a login form, and there is also a snippet that should give you the login status.

The pre-define snippet for getting login status looks like this:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@using System.Web.Mvc.Html
@using ClientDependency.Core.Mvc
@using Umbraco.Web
@using Umbraco.Web.Models
@using Umbraco.Web.Controllers

@{
    var loginStatusModel = Members.GetCurrentLoginStatus();

    Html.EnableClientValidation();
    Html.EnableUnobtrusiveJavaScript();
    Html.RequiresJs("/umbraco_client/ui/jquery.js");
    Html.RequiresJs("/umbraco_client/Application/JQuery/jquery.validate.min.js");
    Html.RequiresJs("/umbraco_client/Application/JQuery/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js");

    var logoutModel = new PostRedirectModel();
    
    @*
        Here you can specify a redirect URL for after logging out, by default umbraco will simply
        redirect to the current page. Example to redirect to the home page:
        
        logoutModel.RedirectUrl = "/"; 
    *@
}

@* NOTE: This RenderJsHere code should be put on your main template page where the rest of your script tags are placed *@
@Html.RenderJsHere()

@if (loginStatusModel.IsLoggedIn)
{
    <p>You are currently logged in as @loginStatusModel.Name</p>

    using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<UmbLoginStatusController>("HandleLogout"))
    {
         <fieldset>
             <legend>Logout</legend>
             <button>Logout</button>
         </fieldset>
    
        @Html.HiddenFor(m => logoutModel.RedirectUrl)
    }
}

Hope this can pull you in the rigtht direction.

Yeah, as I wrote, I tried those already without luck. :/ I implemented the loginstatus macro in my master template and the login macro on my login page but added

@else { <p>You are not logged in </p> }

after

@if (loginStatusModel.IsLoggedIn){
<p>You are currently logged in as @loginStatusModel.Name</p>

using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<UmbLoginStatusController>("HandleLogout"))
{
     <fieldset>
         <legend>Logout</legend>
         <button>Logout</button>
     </fieldset>

    @Html.HiddenFor(m => logoutModel.RedirectUrl)
}

}

And consequently got the message: You are not logged in

Thanks for the quick reply though :)

I am having a similar issue.

I have a profile-editing page for a member. When the page loads, I know the member is logged in because when I set a breakpoint in the "RenderForm" code, I see that loginStatusModel.IsLoggedIn == TRUE and I am able to get their current member properties and populate the custom model for the form.

However, when I make a change to the form data and click the "submit" button, triggering the "HandleSubmit" code, loginStatusModel.IsLoggedIn == FALSE.

I just can't figure out why the member is getting logged-out on form submit. Am I missing something obvious here?

Here is a simplified version of my code:

MemberAccountForm Model

public class MemberAccountForm
{
    public string EmailLogin { get; set; }

    public string ContactName { get; set; }

    public string CompanyName { get; set; }

    ... other properties
}

MemberAccountFormController

public class MemberAccountFormController : SurfaceController
{
    [ChildActionOnly]
    public ActionResult RenderForm(IPublishedContent CurrentPage)
    {
        ...
        var loginStatusModel = Members.GetCurrentLoginStatus(); <----- This has data & is TRUE

        if (loginStatusModel.IsLoggedIn)
        {
            //Get the Current Member using MembershipHelper (cause it's faster)
            var membershipUsername = Members.GetCurrentMember().GetPropertyValue("Username").ToString();

            //Access Member using MemberService for property getting                   
            var m = ApplicationContext.Services.MemberService.GetByUsername(membershipUsername);

            var currMemProfile = new MemberAccountForm();
            currMemProfile.CompanyName = m.GetValue<string>("companyName");
            currMemProfile.ContactName = m.GetValue<string>("contactName");
            currMemProfile.EmailLogin = m.Username;
            currMemProfile.OriginalUserName = m.Username;

            return PartialView("MemberAccountForm", currMemProfile);
        }
        else
        {
            return PartialView("MemberAccountForm", new MemberAccountForm { });
        }
    }

    [HttpPost]
    [ActionName("HandleSubmit")]
    public ActionResult HandleSubmit(MemberAccountForm model)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            var loginStatusModel = Members.GetCurrentLoginStatus(); <!---- Now this is FALSE and all the values are NULL

            if (loginStatusModel.IsLoggedIn)
            {
                ...Do stuff to update & save properties & add "success" message to ViewData
            }

        }
        else
        {
            //model not valid
            //Do not save, but return current umbraco page

            ...Add model errors to ViewData
        }

        //Add current form model to ViewBag
        ViewData["Model"] = model;
        return CurrentUmbracoPage();
}

"MemberAccountForm" partial view

@using some stuff...
@model MemberAccountForm

@{
    ...Code to show errors & messages, if present in ViewData...
    @RenderForm()
}

@helper RenderForm()
{
    if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
    {
        using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm("HandleSubmit", "MemberAccountForm"))
        {

                <label>
                    <span>Company Name</span>
                    @Html.EditorFor(x => Model.CompanyName, new { @type = "text" })
                </label>

                <label>
                    <span>Contact Name</span>
                    @Html.EditorFor(x => Model.ContactName, new { @type = "text" })
                </label>

                <label>
                    <span>Email Address</span>
                    @Html.EditorFor(x => Model.EmailLogin, new { @type = "email" })
                </label>

                ..some other fields...

            <button type="submit">Save</button>
        }
    }
}

Any suggestions appreciated!
