Hi everbody, when the user logs in i have to check an entry in the UserProfile Table. So i need a third input box in the login control. Is there a build in solution to extend the control or do i have to write my own control and membership provider?

If you are looking to simply require a third piece of information for login verification I would implement this as a Custom Authentication provider.  This is a very simple process, however there isn't a lot of documentation.  I cover it a bit in my Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming book, and I have source code available for a custom provider that I seel on snowcovered.

All that you need to do is to write a custom authentication provider, simply do your own login verification, then pass off to DNN to do the login.  No changes to the membership provider are needed at all.

The code to do this would be quite simple.  I mentioned some resources for sample code on project structure.
