Hi Adrian

It is not in the manual yet, so only a bit under release notes.

On a group in usermanagement, right click and edit the group. On that one you can set the default item type for (new) users in that group and item type for the group itself. On the user edit, you can set the item type on the user directly. See dumps. A user can only be one item type, so if you place a user in 2 groups with 2 different default item types, only one is added.

Hi Nicolai,

I got this part.

Now I need to play withe the data in template.

Templatetags does not render anything about this.

I have managed to cteate an ItemType Assigned it to a user and then I have added some data in it.

But I don't seem to be able to connect to anything. I would have expected a Loop or an ItemID

Thanks,

Adrian

From where? If you are using user management module in the frontend tags are in the templates...

I am using the UserManagement

Apparently it was a caching issue. Now I can see the Item Information returned by TemplateTags

Thank you very much.

Adrian

One more question.

When I want to add values to fields in the ItemType, how should I do that? Like with the regular User Fields or like the ItemPublisher?

I am planning on using the ItemType to store Addresses. This means that I have to store in an ItemList inside the ItemType.

In theory looks pretty complicated.

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi Adrian

You create an item type for the user, say "user properties". Then you create an item type "user address" with the fields you need. Then on the User properties item type, you create a field which is a list of user adresses - when editing the user, you can add adresses to him on that.

Hi Nicolai,

I already did that.

My question was about the method to write values in the "user address" item from front-end

Thanks,

Adrian

Ah. You cannot create user items in the frontend, and the item creator does not support item lists either... So that would have to be custom.

:)

That's funny.

Why was it created if I cannot publish values to it natively?

Just to give the feeling I can actually extend the User object?

I could have user Linq to SQL if I wanted just to make another hack and avoid the system.

Hello,

Is there any method in the api I can use to create a new record for an item? Let's say I have an ItemType called "Address" and I want to add a new address to it. How cand I do that from code?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan

Take a look at this page:

http://developer.dynamicweb.com/documentation/for-developers/item-based-structure/querying-items.aspx

Oh ... I didn't know the Update for the Items Repository can be used to add new items. I've looked over this page before, but I thought it was only for modifying existing items.

Thanks
