Am totally new on Umbraco and have done some labs, creating basic document types etc. Starting to get the hang of things but i cannot seem to locate some functionality wich im uncertain if there is good alternatives fr or if i will have to create my own controls.
1. Forum. Isnt there any good forum addons/modules/controls fr umbraco? I searched codeplex but found only two whereas one dead and one that didnt seem very active.
2. Membership controls (login, register etc). Its great you guys use standard membership provider, but have searched around and couldnt find any signs of some really good membership controls.
Any suggestions for the functionality above? I do not have any real problems building the controls myself but if there are any official or really good alternatives please post them.
Also wondered about search functionality but later saw thats available stock as i understand so will check that out later. Anyways, sorry in advance if ive missed something on the forum, but i think ive searched correctly in codeplex without any significant results.
Welcome to Umbraco. There are a couple of forum packages in the projects section uForum is one of them. Also because Umbraco uses the the asp.net membership provider you could also hook into other forum packages such as YetAotherForum which also use the asp.net membership provider. You can use any stock standard asp.net controls to use membership such as asp:login in your masterpages. There are a few packages in projects section such as osMemberControls (which I built), ClientArea which provide all the basic membership stuff. XSLTSearch is a wonderful search engine!
