Hi All

I am newbie to Umbraco, I want to set up a default member during application start. I have the following code invoked from OnApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext) method.

private void InitializeMembers(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        string username = "[email protected]";

        var memberService = applicationContext.Services.MemberService;

        int total;

        var existingMember = memberService.FindByUsername(username, 0, 1, out total, Umbraco.Core.Persistence.Querying.StringPropertyMatchType.Exact).FirstOrDefault();

        if (existingMember == null)
        {
            var newMember = memberService.CreateWithIdentity(username, username, "Test1234$", "member", true);
            memberService.Save(newMember);

        }
    }

The aforementioned code works fine in my controller, but not in IApplicationEventHandler, and I keep getting Request is not available in this context, however the user was created successfully.

Is there anything I missed in my code?

Appreciate for your help.

Hi,

I think it's to do with the "member" memberType passed on the CreateWithIdentity call. However, you'll hit other issues using this version of memberService, namely the password will need to be passed encrypted. I tend to do my membership as follows...(shortened for simplicity, and changed for your example)

public class Bootstrap : ApplicationEventHandler
{
    protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase app, ApplicationContext ctx)
    {
        InitializeMembers(app, ctx);
    }

    private void InitializeMembers(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        string username = "[email protected]";

        var memberService = applicationContext.Services.MemberService;
        var memberTypeService = applicationContext.Services.MemberTypeService;
        var memberType = memberTypeService.Get("Member");


        if (memberService.GetByEmail(username) != null)
        {
            return;
        }

        try
        {
            var member = memberService.CreateMemberWithIdentity(username, username, memberType);

            // to set the password using Umbraco's hashing you need to call this method
            memberService.SavePassword(member, "Test1234$");

            member.IsApproved = true;
            memberService.Save(member);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Log error
            return;
        }
    }
}

HTH,

David

Hi David

Thanks for your help. The issue doesn't seem coming from the "member" memberType passed on the CreateWithIdentity call.

I tried CreateMember method with MemberService, and it threw the same exception.

Having said that, by using your code sample with try and catch, obviously I just can avoid the YSOD, but problem still exists.

Hi Javafun,

As per my comment on Slack, this is code that has been used in the past to fake a context in the start up events.

private void EnsureValidUmbracoContext()
{
    if (UmbracoContext.Current == null)
    {
        var dummyHttpContext = new HttpContextWrapper(new HttpContext(new SimpleWorkerRequest("blah.aspx", "", new StringWriter())));
            UmbracoContext.EnsureContext(
                dummyHttpContext,
                ApplicationContext.Current,
                new WebSecurity(dummyHttpContext, ApplicationContext.Current),
                UmbracoConfig.For.UmbracoSettings(),
                UrlProviderResolver.Current.Providers,
                false);
    }
}

If you create that method in your class, and call it as the first line in your InitializeMembers method it "might" solve your issue but I'm not sure.

Lol!

I should've tested without the try/catch block first, sorry! I would put the try catch back when you're happy the issue has been resolved but try this code.

private void InitializeMembers(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        string username = "[email protected]";

        var memberService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;
        var memberTypeService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberTypeService;
        var memberType = memberTypeService.Get("Member");


        if (memberService.GetByEmail(username) != null)
        {
            return;
        }


        var member = memberService.CreateMemberWithIdentity(username, username, memberType);

        // to set the password using Umbraco's hashing you need to call this method
        memberService.SavePassword(member, "Test1234$");

        member.IsApproved = true;
        memberService.Save(member);

    }
