Hi all,

I'm trying to build a custom component based on DNN´s MemberDirectory component. I only need to change some behaviours in the view and the search fields, so I've grabbed the base code and started my own "MemberDirectoryAdvanced" component.

So far, I'm able to build my code and install my component, using the same code base as the original MemberDirectory component. However, I'm stuck at the following error:

401 Unauthorized. Authorization has been denied for this request.
While trying to access the following url: http://dnndev.me/DesktopModules/MemberDirectory/API/MemberDirectory/AdvancedSearch?userId=2&groupId=-1&pageIndex=0&pageSize=20&searchTerm1=&searchTerm2=&searchTerm3=&searchTerm4=&_=1362649909598

I'm assuming that I need to authenticate with the API somehow before making the call.. But I'm kind of lost at this point. Could you guys help me?

 Thanks in advance

 

It appears that your enhanced MemberDirectory is calling into the original MemberDirectoryController. If so and if your enhanced MemberDirectory has a different fully-qualified namespace (which it most should have) than "DotNetNuke.Modules.MemberDirectory", note that the original MemberDirectoryController class is decorated with the attribute [SupportedModules("DotNetNuke.Modules.MemberDirectory")] which would denyaccess to the giving the security error you are seeing.
