    Using uQuery.GetMembersByXPath() to search through members

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to get my head around an xpath expression to search find a member in Umbraco where a custom property is equal to the searchstring entered by the user.

    Thing is, I'm totally stuck when it comes to writing an xpath expression for it. I've tried the following:

    var member = uQuery.GetMembersByXPath("//*/website = 'mysite.com').FirstOrDefault();

    .. where "website" is my custom property on the member. However, this doesn't return anything. Am I missing something? :-)

    Thanks in advance!

    All the best,

    Bo

    var member = uQuery.GetMembersByXPath("//*/website = 'mysite.com').FirstOrDefault();

    Should of course be:

    var member = uQuery.GetMembersByXPath("//*/website = 'mysite.com'").FirstOrDefault();

    Managed to fix it with help from Chriztian Steinmeier and Lee Kelleher, the XPath should be like this:

    var member = uQuery.GetMembersByXPath("//*[website = 'mysite.com']").FirstOrDefault();

    Hi Bo,

    You beat me to the answer here :) I'll update the documentation with some examples.

    Hi Hendy,

    Updating the documentation for this method would be great! :-) Thanks a lot!

    Any ideas why this doesn't work?

    var m = uQuery.GetMembersByXPath(string.Format("//*[authToken = '{0}']", rc)).FirstOrDefault();

    The string formats to

    "//*[authToken = 'zwbF3}X7']"

    That is the correct property name and that is the correct code, but GetMembersByXPath returns null.

    It is because the member, created by a UserControl is present but not visible (not in the cache?). If I manually save the member in the Umbraco Admin and then run the above it works fine...

    So I just need to find out how to programmatically "save" or publish the new member!?
