    extending osMembers to include password update

    i am trying to extend the osMembers package to allow for updating the member password... i am trying to follow the logic for updating the email... however, i have NO CLUE how to add the password field to the control... i have set up variables, and i believe you would add it to the display, here... bu this is where i get stuck.

    ph1.Controls.Add(tc);
                    //because email is not a property on the tabs we need to add it manaully to the first tab
                    //or first control if single page layout
                    AddEmailControl(tc.Tabs[0], m);

    any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Hey bob,

    I may have jumped the gun on this. I didn't realize that you were specifically working on osMembers....anyway, I did some extensive work on memberships fora recent project and ran into a few issues with passwrods etc. So, you may alerady have gotten this far but here's a method that I use for updating and working with passwords:

            private string EncryptPassword(string password)
            {
                System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA1 hash = new System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA1();
                hash.Key = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(password);
                string retVal = Convert.ToBase64String(hash.ComputeHash(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(password)));

                return retVal;
            }

    Again, sorry if I misunderstood your original tewwt on this topic.

    Cheers.

    okay, big time ignorance showing here...

    how is it that you retrieve the current user password in the first place to even update it?

    remember, i am a HUGE .net noob :P

    Hi Bob, if you are working with a standard .NET membership provider that ships with Umbraco you should be able to utilize the .NET change password control. Or, is this outside of the functionality that you are looking for? I am not sure what the osMembers pakcage is/does. Sorry to have mislead you.

    Hey, Nik...

    i was actually working with Skillz to makes some mods to osMembers... so far i have everything working the way i want it... man, workign with visual studio is really fun in a sick twisted way :)

    i am very excited to learn as much as i can!

     

    i actually did try the .net change password control, but it added an additional submit... confused forms, etc. being next the osMembers profile macro,etc.

    all is good and thanks for your answers, my friend!

    I think you will find the asp.net change password control doesn't work with Umbraco.  Its a bug which has been lodged.

    Thanks,
    Skiltz

    ah, that would explain why i was having issues with it :P

    just an update on my new .net adventures -- i am now sending an email when the training module is complete by pulling the html content from a textfield on the last screen of the training...

    fun stuff indeed :P

    many thanks to both Skiltz and Nik :P

    @Skiltz: Any particular case, as I've done multiple implementations of the change password control, never had issues with it?

    Ok good, I thought I was loosing it since I have used the change password control successfully on multiple occasions too. Phew!

    Bob, nice to hear that you're getting into VS. It is awesome to work in. Especially if you couple if with ReSharper! Awesome code compeltion and cleanup...

    Cheers,
    Nik

    Is this dead (osMembers)? I need some basic controls to allow members for the basic uForum to change their passwords, etc. I am not sure how to go about installing or making use of the osMembers controls in my site.
