I'm developing a Football Club website for a local kids team (for free!) and I'm looking to use the members section of Umbraco to help manage all the players, staff and parents.
This will of course all be within a proteced area of the site. I also want to give the parents access to thier own profile to enbale them to manage thier own profile/details. Just something really simple but i know i can open up the member back office.
Is there an easy way to implement this, possibly using contour?
If you have some C# skills it should be pretty simple to do some magic based on the member API - Currently I'm not sure if there is some easy way of using Contour in the context of the member API - perhaps this part has been improved a bit with the upcoming version 3 though.
I suppose you need to allow members to edit details when logged in to the site? Do they need to manage other information than those that makes sense to have displayed on a member?
There more you can tell us about what it is you're trying to do the better answer we can provide :)
I've done some API stuff in the past with forms but had wanted to try and keep this within Umbraco i possible. I doing this as my yearly pro bono work and would like to make best use of my (free) time.
So trying to keep it very simple...but i guess the following is required
Users to register via front end - but MUST be verfied by admin at the backend (dealing with kids football images on the site)
There will be 3 types of users, 1.Parent 2.Players 3.Staff
User login and manage their own details, so far this is kept simple, name and contact details. Main function is to to give them access to restricited image galleries which I know how to handle via permissions.
Display the players and management in an protected area of the font end, players and managment content will be controlled via the backend in the main but some elements of the profiles will be maintained by the user.
An extra would be to connect the paretn to thier kids to we know at the backend what kid belongs to what parent etc.
I done some digging since i posted this and have seena few posts on using the built in .net wizrds for regsiters/login and editing details, i was going to give them a try to how much i can cover without having to write code etc.
I have spent a little more time thinking about this and reading up on options etc and I think I'm coming to the conclusion that I'd be better going down the route of creating a DocType for members rather than use the member system but happy to take direction from those more in the know that me...
Working with Members section at the front end.
