    MemberProperties returning only properties with memberCanEdit = true

    Hi all. I have a question regarding the ProfileModel in Umbraco 7.1.8

    I have created a number of custom properties on the default membertype, some are set as editable by the user, some are not. I want to manipulate all of these properties in backend code, but it turns out that the profileModel.MemberProperties only contains properties that have memberCanEdit = true.

    How can I access the other properties in backend?

    My way of getting the properties:

    var membershipHelper = new Umbraco.Web.Security.MembershipHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
    var pm = membershipHelper.GetCurrentMemberProfileModel();
    List<Umbraco.Web.Models.UmbracoProperty> properties = pm.MemberProperties;

    Hi Martin,

    I think you'll need to use the member service for that.  This code is just from memory so it'll probably need tweaking, but something like this should do the trick:

    // Instantiate member service and membership helper
    var memberService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;
var membershipHelper = new MembershipHelper(UmbracoContext);

    // Get profile model of current member
var profileModel = membershipHelper.GetCurrentMemberProfileModel();

    // Get username of current member
var username = profileModel.UserName;

    // Use member service to get current member object by username (could do it from email and/or id too I think...)
var currentMember = memberService.GetByUsername(username);

    // Update custom member properties
currentMember.SetValue("yourCustomProperty", "Some value");

    // Save updated member
memberService.Save(currentMember);
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Dan. Almost there I think, but as I'm coding a usercontrol, I don't think I have the ApplicationContext available?

    So how do I instantiate a MemberService object? Will the following work? (Seems a bit far fetched, and not at my laptop so can't try it out right now)

    var ms = new MemberService( new RepositoryFactory(), new MemberGroupService( new RepositoryFactory()) );

    Thanks

    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    You should be able to instantiate the member service outside of the `ApplicationContext` like this:

    using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;

var memberService = Services.MemberService;

    There's stuff in the documentation about this actually - http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/MemberService.

    Hmm, my approach above did indeed work, so I guess I can stick with that. I can't get your last approach to work, as I get the following error when I try to assign to the variable as you do above. (I am writing a .net usercontrol, and have included the umbraco libraries).

    'Umbraco.Core.Services.MemberService' is a 'type', which is not valid in the given context.

    Hey, Martin.

    Have you try using MemberType, it has possibilities to iterate the properties?

    var mHelper = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;
    // "Member" is alias of default MemberType
    var memberType = mHelper.GetMembersByMemberType("Member").FirstOrDefault();
    if (memberType != null)
    {
        foreach (var mProperty in memberType.Properties)
        {
            @mProperty.Alias
        }
    }

    Hi all.
    I got it to work doing the following. Dan let me in the right direction. I still can't figure out if I get the MemberService instance in the right way, but it works.

    var memberService = newMemberService(new Umbraco.Core.Persistence.RepositoryFactory(), newMemberGroupService(new Umbraco.Core.Persistence.RepositoryFactory()));
    var memberShipHelper = newMembershipHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
    var currentMember = memberService.GetByUsername(memberShipHelper.GetCurrentMemberProfileModel().UserName);
    var     properties = currentMember.Properties;

     

    This way I can use a LINQ query on the PropertyCollection 'properties' to find whichever custom property I need, using it's value or whatever parameter I like.
    Modifying values, you must use the method Dan described above, using 

    // Update custom member properties
    currentMember    .SetValue("yourCustomProperty","Some value");

    // Save updated member
    memberService    .Save(currentMember);

    Excellent, glad you got it sorted Martin :)

    As a complete aside, this article from yesterday's Umbraco advent calendar is a really nice reference for real-world membership integration: http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/dealing-with-members/.
