Hello m

The source should be available here: http://umbnewsletter.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets - Is this what you're looking for?

Hello!

no, i meant i cant get the installation to work by following the documentation on how to make the subscribe button and txtfield and then compile the ascx file.

/ Marcus

is there any possibility of help regarding the ascx files that need compiling?

regards / Marcus

Hi Marcus

What is it exatcly you're in doubt about?

I suppose you know your way around visual studio, or?

/Jan

Im getting alot of compiler-errors when trying to compile, perhaps you could post the code-behind code here?

/ Marcus

Hi Marcus

If you get the latests version of the source code from codeplex, isn't there a visual studio project you can just open and edit? I'm not a C# dev myself and I have nothing to do with the project...therefore my help may be sparse.

But I think that it's the code from the "trunk" folder you need to modify and make sure you reference the correct umbraco .dll files.

What kind of errors do you get by the way?

/Jan

Hello Marcus,

Are you making your own subscription page? Because as far as I'm aware, there is no such code in the package by default, but making one shouldn't be too difficult.

protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Member.GetMemberFromEmail(yourEmailTextBox.Text) == null)
            {                
                MemberType mt = MemberType.GetByAlias("yourMemberTypeAlias");
                MemberGroup mg = MemberGroup.GetByName("yourMemberGroupName");

                Member newMember = Member.MakeNew(yourUsernameTextBox.Text, mt, new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0));

                newMember.Email = yourEmailTextBox.Text;
                newMember.Password = "dUy7Da7"; //random password here
                newMember.LoginName = yourUsernameTextBox.Text;
                newMember.AddGroup(mg.Id);
                
                newMember.Save();
            }
            else
            {
                //member exists
            }
        }

That's the action linked to the save button on the form I made. If I misunderstood your request, my apologies, but I hope this helps. If it doesn't what sort of compiler errors are you getting?

and a couple more errors, im sure you guys already know my problem :-) im still learning "trial and error style"

Regards / Marcus

yes, that was the problem partially. thank you!

/ MArcus

Partially? Any other problems?

In anycase, glad to have been the one helping instead of the one receiving help ;)

well i had trouble compiling as it said "

warning CS0618: 'umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member.MakeNew(string, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.MemberType, umbraco.BusinessLogic.User)' is obsolete: 'Use System.Web.Security.Membership.CreateUser'"

but it seemed to work with the old code "Member newMember = Member.MakeNew(txtEmail.Text, mt, new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0));"

thank you all for the ideas that moved me towards the solution!

/ Marcus

Oh right, yeah. Warnings are just that, warnings. They alert you to possible issues, but the code can run just fine most of the time :P

Anyways, yeah, I just realized the code I pasted is obsolete, you could try System.Web.Security.Membership.CreateUser(). It's technically better to use code that's not "obsolete" or "deprecated" since it might be removed in future updates.
