ClubStarter Kit - Making a lable appear on certain members in MembershipList.aspx

Question

User75903138 posted

I am trying to create a new label that will only show up if the user is in the right group

 

 

As you can see the "BMW MOFO Member" label shows up on all members. I've have already create a membership role call "bmwmofoMember". Right now what it looks like it's doing is it's checking the current user login and if the user is in the "bmwmofoMember" role than it will display the label on the member list.

 Here's the code I have so far:

Public Function isMember() As Boolean

If User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then

Return Visible = True

Else

Return Visible = False

End If

End Function

<ItemTemplate>

<div class="membercard">

<p>

<asp:Label ID="bmwmofoMember" Visible='<%# isMember() %>' runat="server" BackColor="LightGreen" Font-Bold="true" Text="BMW MOFO Member" />

</p>

 

How would I do this?

What yo have now only checks to see if the user is authenticated any role will show it.  To check which role they are in you need to use

 If user.IsInRole("BMW MOFO MEMBER") then

I tried that and samething. I think what I need to do is pass the UserName through and then it should check to see if the user is in the "bmwmofoMember" group. But I don't know how to write the function to do that. Any other suggestions?

Sorry read it wrong.

Try this. I have not verified it, but it should get you in the right direction.

 change call to function to

Visible='<%# isMember(Cstr( Eval("Email"))) %>'

Change function to

Public Function isMember(ByVal email As String) As Boolean

 

 

Dim UserName = Membership.GetUserNameByEmail(email.ToString)

If Roles.IsUserInRole(UserName, "BMW MOFO Member") Then

Return True

 

Else

Return False

End If

End Function

If that works the only flaw I do know will happen is if your membership is not set up as requiresUniqueEmail="true" then it you could end up with a false showing if there are 2 members with the same email but not the same roles.

It worked! I'm not to worry about the email part. It won't let you sign up for membership if the input of their email address already exist. Thanks for everything!
