Hi

Are you running the new Extranet module (installed with DW7) or the old?
In none of the two it is possible to edit custom fields in frontend, but we have planned to make it possible in the new Extranet module. I can't say anything about ETA on this.

So it is not possible to create a user and let them fill in the user custom fields in the frontend?

Then what is the sense of having this feature?

Any updates on when this feature will be available? It's kind of useless without custom fields :)

I've added it to the product backlog for Dynamicweb 7.1. due end march/april.

Hi,

Wish that functionality was there sooner. It's kind of a big miss at the moment. :-(

Anyways; don't forget to add functionality in the API to add/modify those custom fields in the class Dynamicweb.ExtranetExtended.User(), so we can use it there too!

Kind Regards,
Emil

Aha, i just noticed you have a new class in the API for managing users.

Is it correct I should use "Dynamicweb.Modules.UserManagement.User()" class ?

I see it has a property "CustomFieldValues".

Hi Emil

That is correct. This is part of the new User Management API, so if you can't wait for 7.1 you could actually just make the functionality as a custom frontend module.

If you haven't done already, you need to convert to the new user modules to edit the custom fields from the new API.
