I am new to DotNetNuke and find it to be a great environment.  One of the production environments I am planning to use DNN in has a membership database and I would like to integrate the customer’s membership with the DNN membership system.  It is unfortunate, of course, that both refer to member

 

The customer’s membership database already has several tables linked.  The two major ones are the Organization and the People tables.  Each People record is linked to a single Organization row with multiple People rows associated to a single Organization row.

 

The integration with the DNN Membership is appealing and almost necessary as many of the People will need to have accounts on the portal to enter and update information.  More over, the information in the existing People table is virtually identical to the information in the DNN Membership.

 

Where can I learn about how to use the DNN Membership?  I assume there is an API but my searches have revealed nothing to me.  The 4.0.3 DNN Membership documentation discusses the internal issues but not any external manipulation.

 

I know there is a DNN Membership UserID and that this could be used to link to the Organization table but I am not sure how to manage the overall system.

 

I would appreciate any pointers, suggestions or ideas.

 

Thanks.

Forget about older DNN versions, their membership system is to hard to change, go for 4.3.x

Take a look at these:

  • DotNetNuke.Entities.Profile namespace in general
  • DotNetNuke.Entities.Users namespace in general
  • DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo is the class that binds it all togheter

You are most likely going to want to set up a solution where your *old* production environment syncronizes it's data with the DNN roles, profile & membership controllers

Edit your Skin.xml and Container.xml files with:

I was very excited to see that the 4.3 Membership was so enhanced.  Thanks for the pointers.  I am busy cobbling them into the existing data structure.  It looks promising.

 

Thanks for your good help!!

I am able to get the DNN 4.3.1 user information out and integrating with the other data looks good but I am getting stopped in my attempts at adding DNN user entries.

 

I have copied the logic from the admin\security\Register.ascx.vb file in an attempt to create the DNN user entries.  The userCreateStatus returns what appears to be success but when I attempt to view the created account the Users module gets rather annoyed and reports that it is not available.  The log contains:

 

Message: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. . . .

 

The stack shows that the fault starts at line 211 of Admin\Users\Users.ascx.vb which is the bind to the users.

 

I am guessing that I have failed to supply all the information or have supplied some incorrect information even though I have duplicated virtually everything from the original code.

 

Is there a better way to create the DNN user entries?  Is there another module from which I should model my code?  What is the best way to navigate into and through the existing code?

 

Thanks for any and all pointers.
