Thank you Sir!

No problem. I'm glad you found it useful.

Great blog,

Since i am new to Umbraco and MVC, I have one doubt and not sure how it works and i.e returnURL. Basically I am looking for a something where i want to navigate to other page once i am successfully logged in..

I used return View("History"); in controller but there are two problem with this 1. URL doesnt change from ~/login to ~/History 2. If i am reading any records from @Umbraco.Media then it doesnt work once i navigate.

Regards, Sourav

I keep coming back to this when I can't find a project that has this implemented...

One small thing. You don't seem to set the returnUrl. I fixed this by updating the BeginUmbracoForm for the login, to this

using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm("SubmitLogin","Member",new{returnUrl= Request.Url.AbsolutePath }, new { id = "login" },FormMethod.Post))

Thanks Sven, I’ll update the post

Hi @Paul, I viewed your tutorial and it looks great. Is there a way to add custom content from the back-end for each individual user? For example, adding an ability for a back-end user to upload an invoice specific to a single user whereby they can view such an invoice when logged in?

Great example. Worth to update it to support Umbraco 8 by replacing UmbracoTemplatePage with UmbracoViewPage.

Instead of a logout form, how can I go direct to logout by clicking a button in the header?

Don't think you can do it without a form, but that doesn't mean you cant put a small form in your header.

Hi Connie,

You could link to your login form:

/login?signout=true

And then at the top of your login page have:

@if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["signout"]))
 {
        FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
 }

Would this work in v8 as well?

I get errors in the _LogOut partial view such as

The type or namespace name 'UmbracoTemplatePage' does not exist in the namespace 'Umbraco.Web.Mvc'

&

The type or namespace name 'MemberIsLoggedOn' does not exist in the namespace 'Umbraco'

is working on a reply...
