For what its worth - Ive long thought that there is a large failing in the DNN core with regard to the Login, Registration and User Profile pages not being template driven.

These same questions appear over and over again on the forums.

Hey guys,

thanks for your support so far.
Unfortunately, I think I'm still stuck a little bit...

I have created an own module, inserted it on a test page and tried to adopt the functionality of the modules you've mentioned, but the registration form is not showing up as I intended.
At first I tried to re-use the code of the Authentication.ascx.vb file, which only seems to bring up a configuration form for the login module, so I think this not the module module I'm searching for.
I could also upload a screenshot of the output to make my thoughts clearer, but I've not figured out to use the Image Manager to upload images in here yet...
Anyway, the code of the ViewProfile module doesn't seem correct to me either, and therefore I also tried the code from the User.ascx and User.ascx.vb files in the Security directory, which produces a more registration-like output, but unfortunately only when I'm logged in.

As you probably can see, I'm still a little confused about which files are really containing the registration functionality I am seeking for and how I should adopt which code into my own module to make it work.
Also I'm not sure about how to alter the data providers of my module or how to create an own membership provider.

Furthermore, I think I should mention that I'm programming my own module in C# rather than VB, because I'm more familiar with the language and converting the VB code to C# has not been a problem until now.

Any help on these topics would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Chris

Thanks for your quick reply and your explanations Westa.

Actually, after some tries I thought about the possibility that one of the modules could be the manager for multiple functionalities, but I was not sure which one.
So, if I would like to adopt the features of the "controller" module into my own module, would it be sufficient to use the code of the manageusers files? And if yes, how should which parameters be set in order to produce an output similar to the core registration form?

Regarding your advice to go for a solution based on a membership provider:
I respect your experience in this case, but I also have hardly a clue how to start with it.
Does someone of you know a good tutorial explaining the implementation of such a membership provider for DNN 5+?

Thanks in advance.
Chris
