Extending User Model to include additional text fields (Umbraco 10)
Hi there
Is there any way to add additional text fields such as "Description" or "Job Title" to a User's Profile in the User Section of the backoffice?
Taking example from such fine blogs as Skrift which close with an author description, I wanted to work out the best way to store those author details in Umbraco, and my first instinct was to store them with the Users. Is this correct, or would a different approach (such as Custom Tables) be more appropriate?
Any advice, direction or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Richard. You can't directly on the user (i am assuming you are talking about users and not members).
The way that I have done this in the past is to have content in the content tree and on those items associate it with a User Picker to link it back to the User record.
That way when a user writes a blog post and you want their bio you can retrieve it from the content with that reference.
