Hi Alex,

In the maintenance release coming in a few days it will be easy to work with member data in Contour forms, more details in a couple of days.

Hi Tim,

You are saying that we can use Contour forms to let members update its data on frontend. Is it also possible to use Contour forms as search function on frontend? I am asking cause I have not used it before

Hi Tim,

Can you provide a little more information on the comming release that you are talking about.
I am working on create a member whit some of the data in a form, but it would be nice, if there what a little more standart features, that eg. could create a member.

Best Regards

Hi Lasse,

Well in the 1.1.9 release it will be possible to use member placeholders in the default value field.

For example if your members have a property with the alias test

you can then set the default value to

{member.test}

If a member is logged in this will be replaced with the property value (otherwise it will be left blank)

Then you can use that in combination with a workflow to update the logged in member

The workflow is part of this project: http://contourstrikesagain.codeplex.com/

I'll do a blog post with some more details on how to set it up but with this it should be possible to create both a registration form and profile update form 

Cheers,
Tim 

Hi Tim

Sounds exactly what I am missing in Contour. :) The "post to url" is not flexible enough in the sollution that im working on for a client.

Can you provide me with a more specific release date, and/or can you provide me with a beta version, so that i can start building this new feature to the customers exsisting Umbraco/Contour solution.

The customere are satisfied with the solution so far, so we would rather not change to another cms system in order to get a more flexible user/form solution.

thanks!
