How do I allow the logged in user to edit his custom properties?
Hi,
This is my situation: I have created a true/false property on the membertype denoting whether or not the user would like to subscribe to our newsletter. I want to give the user an opportunity to choose (via a checkmark) if they want to receive the newsletter og not. I tried using the doc2Form as i seem to have understood that that would be the way to do it. But how? Or is there any other way of doint this? (sadly the documentation to doc2form is very poor and does not help).
Doc2Form is tied to a document type versus a member, so you will need to use member profile controls for what your looking to do. I did a quick glance and couldn't find them on the projects section. I think they were being updated for version 4.0 but maybe are not out there yet. Also, if you go to the package repository (Developers->Packges->Umbraco Package repository, you will find a package umbraco extentions. It has some features to create newsletter signups.
Cheers Chris for your answer, tried to look into the the existing feature you described without luck :-( I might be a little impatient :-)
I decided to look into the API and the the ability to make custom user controls, wow was that easy :-) In 10 minutes i had made a small user control that simply makes a checkmark which edits the current member's bool property. I am now looking into making a simple newsletter subscribe unsubscribe for this where the user only provides an email and pushes a "Subscribe" or "unsubscribe" button.
