  Newsletter

  Mar 15, 2007 07:36 AM|LINK

  Hi,
  
  I want to enable the user profile in that way that a html version of the newsletter is selected by default when registring.
  
  in my userprofile.aspx I have :
   <asp:ListItem Text="HTML versie" Value="Html" Selected="true" />
              <asp:ListItem Text="Geen abonnement" Value="None" />
              <asp:ListItem Text="Plain tekst" Value="PlainText" />
  
  in my enum.cs (in newsletter folder) I have :
  public enum SubscriptionType : int
     {
        None = 0,
        PlainText = 1,
        Html
     }
  
  However, it is still set to None when the new user enters the profile page.
  What am I doing wrong ?

  Here is my pageload and save function.
  Do you see anything ?
  
  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           if (!this.IsPostBack)
           {
              ddlCountries.DataSource = Helpers.GetCountries();
              ddlCountries.DataBind();
  
              // if the UserName property contains an emtpy string, retrieve the profile
              // for the current user, otherwise for the specified user
              ProfileCommon profile = this.Profile;
              if (this.UserName.Length > 0)
                 profile = this.Profile.GetProfile(this.UserName);
  
              ddlSubscriptions.SelectedValue = profile.Preferences.Newsletter.ToString();
              ddlLanguages.SelectedValue = profile.Preferences.Culture;
              txtFirstName.Text = profile.FirstName;
              txtLastName.Text = profile.LastName;
              ddlGenders.SelectedValue = profile.Gender;
              if (profile.BirthDate != DateTime.MinValue)
                 txtBirthDate.Text = profile.BirthDate.ToShortDateString();
             ddlSkiType.SelectedValue = profile.SkiInfo.Type;
              txtWebsite.Text = profile.Website;
              txtStreet.Text = profile.Address.Street;
              txtCity.Text = profile.Address.City;
              txtPostalCode.Text = profile.Address.PostalCode;
              txtState.Text = profile.Address.State;
              ddlCountries.SelectedValue = profile.Address.Country;
              txtPhone.Text = profile.Contacts.Phone;
              txtFax.Text = profile.Contacts.Fax;
              txtAvatarUrl.Text = profile.Forum.AvatarUrl;
              txtSignature.Text = profile.Forum.Signature;
                       }
        }
  
  public void SaveProfile()
        {
           // if the UserName property contains an emtpy string, save the current user's profile,
           // othwerwise save the profile for the specified user
           ProfileCommon profile = this.Profile;
           if (this.UserName.Length > 0)
              profile = this.Profile.GetProfile(this.UserName);
  
           profile.Preferences.Newsletter = (SubscriptionType)Enum.Parse(typeof(SubscriptionType), ddlSubscriptions.SelectedValue);
           profile.Preferences.Culture = ddlLanguages.SelectedValue;
           profile.FirstName = txtFirstName.Text;
           profile.LastName = txtLastName.Text;
           profile.Gender = ddlGenders.SelectedValue;
           if (txtBirthDate.Text.Trim().Length > 0)
              profile.BirthDate = DateTime.Parse(txtBirthDate.Text);
          profile.SkiInfo.Type = ddlSkiType.SelectedValue;
           profile.Website = txtWebsite.Text;
           profile.Address.Street = txtStreet.Text;
           profile.Address.City = txtCity.Text;
           profile.Address.PostalCode = txtPostalCode.Text;
           profile.Address.State = txtState.Text;
           profile.Address.Country = ddlCountries.SelectedValue;
           profile.Contacts.Phone = txtPhone.Text;
           profile.Contacts.Fax = txtFax.Text;
           profile.Forum.AvatarUrl = txtAvatarUrl.Text;
           profile.Forum.Signature = txtSignature.Text;
                  profile.Save();
        }

  Look at the line below (located in the Page_Load method):
  
  
  ddlSubscriptions.SelectedValue = profile.Preferences.Newsletter.ToString();
  
  
  You may want to check the "default" value in the web.config file under the "profile" preferrences and change is to "HTML"...
  
  When you're calling:
  
  <asp:ListItem Text="HTML versie" Value="Html" Selected="true" />
              <asp:ListItem Text="Geen abonnement" Value="None" />
              <asp:ListItem Text="Plain tekst" Value="PlainText" />
  
  the selected value will be ignored/"over-written" with the page loads.
  
  For more detail - The page first loads all the controls, then all the default/selected values from the controls on the page. Then the Page_Load method runs, in this case, replacing any default/selected values on the page overwriting default/selected values from the controls on the page.
  
  So you'll need to change the default value/attribute to "HTML" in the web.config file under the "profile" settings in the "Preferrences" profile group. Let me know if this helps...

  Hi,

   

  I added this : <add name="Newsletter" type="SkiX.SkiStyle.BLL.Newsletters.SubscriptionType" defaultValue="Html" />

  But it says that :

  The property 'Preferences.Newsletter' could not be created from it's default value. Error message: There is an error in XML document (1, 1).

   

  I have my enum like this :

  public enum SubscriptionType : int

  {

  None = 0,

  PlainText = 1,

  Html

  }

   

  What I don't get is that Html does not need a value ?

  I do understand this line : ddlSubscriptions.SelectedValue = profile.Preferences.Newsletter.ToString();
  so it gets my default profile, in stead of the selected value from HTML.

   

  Any tips welcome
