Hi Tom,

Maybe this article on displaying members from Warren Buckley can help you out :

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply. I have already found this article previously, but Warren describe another solution than mine. Unlike Warren, I’m using a Controller and a custom route.

Nevertheless, I tried to rewrite his example for Umbraco 7 and used Umbraco.Core.Models.Member since BusinessLogic is obsolete. But without success. Perhaps you could tell me what I have done wrong?

When I try to navigate to a profile of a member with a path like this: localhost/member/tomd I always get the error message: Page not found. No umbraco document matches the url '/member/tomd.

Here is my new code:

My iContentFinder:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Persistence.Querying;
using Umbraco.Web.Routing;

namespace Umbraco714.Utils
{
    public class MemberProfileContentFinder : IContentFinder
    {

        public bool TryFindContent(PublishedContentRequest contentRequest)
        {
            var urlParts = contentRequest.Uri.GetAbsolutePathDecoded().Split(new[] { '/' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

            //Check if the Url Parts
            // Starts with /member/*
            if (urlParts.Length > 1 && urlParts[0].ToLower() == "member")
            {
                //Lets try & find the member
                var memberName = urlParts[1];

                //Try and find a member where the property matches the memberName
                List<IMember> tryFindMember = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.GetMembersByPropertyValue("profileurl", memberName).ToList();

                if (!tryFindMember.Any()) // try a partial match just in case
                {
                    tryFindMember = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.GetMembersByPropertyValue("profileurl", memberName, StringPropertyMatchType.Contains).ToList();
                }

                //See if tryFindMember is not null
                if (tryFindMember.Any())
                {
                    //Need to set the member ID or pass member object to published content
                    HttpContext.Current.Items["memberProfile"] = tryFindMember.FirstOrDefault();

                    //Add in string to items - for profile name user was looking for
                    HttpContext.Current.Items["memberName"] = memberName;

                    //Set the Published Content Node to be the /Profile node - can get properties off it & my member profile in the view
                    contentRequest.PublishedContent = contentRequest.RoutingContext.UmbracoContext.ContentCache.GetByRoute("/Test2View");
                }

                //Return true to say found something & stop pipeline & other contentFinder's from running
                return true;
            }

            //Not found any content node to display/match - so run next ContentFinder in Pipeline
            return false;
        }

    }
}

My Umbraco Startup:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Events;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Publishing;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;
using Umbraco.Core.Persistence;
using Umbraco.Web.Routing;

namespace Umbraco714.Utils
{
    public class UmbracoStartup : ApplicationEventHandler
    {
        protected override void ApplicationStarting(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            // Insert my MemberProfileContentFinder before ContentFinderByNiceUrl
            ContentFinderResolver.Current.InsertTypeBefore<ContentFinderByNiceUrl, MemberProfileContentFinder>();
        }

    }
}

My Umbraco Template named Test2View

@using Member = Umbraco.Core.Models.Member
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@using Umbraco.Core.Models;

@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";

    //Get the values out of the HTTPContext that we set in the iContentFinder
    var memberProfile   = (Member)HttpContext.Current.Items["memberProfile"];
    var memberName      = (string)HttpContext.Current.Items["memberName"];
}


<div class="container">
    <div class="col-md-12">

            @Html.Partial("TestProfileView", memberProfile);

    </div>
</div>

My Partialview named TestProfileView

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<Umbraco.Core.Models.Member>
<h2>Member Profile Partial</h2>

<h3>Name: @Model.Name</h3>
<h3>Email: @Model.Email</h3>

Hi Tom,

Is Test2View a page in your website ?

Dave

Yes, I created the template Test2View as a test in the Umbraco backend to show the profile of a member.

is working on a reply...
