[SF 5.0] What is the easy and best method to override Regist

Posted by Community Admin on 20-Mar-2012 00:00

Hi,

I want insert some logic (behind code) into the RegistrationForm when the user click the button "Register".

For example: Lookup into a external database if the user is still register. Stop the registration if exist or display a message...

What is the best and easy method to accomplish this goal? And keep all advantage of the RegistrationForm widget like email, activation, roles...

Thanks for your help.

Hi Michel,

You can create a custom control and inherit from the RegistrationForm. The registratino form has the following method that you can override,

protected virtual void RegisterButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

In addition if you want to override the look and feel of the Registration Form, you can specify and different layout template by overidding the

protected override string LayoutTemplateName;

or

public override string LayoutTemplatePath;

There are a couple other virtual functions of the Registration Form that you can override to insert you custom logic. After you have completed you custom logic, then you can call the base method and all will work like the default implementation.

Hope this helps,
Bobby

Thanks Bobby for your response.
Can you give me a basic example how you inherit from the RegistrationForm?

Ok finally I found it about how you inherit RegistrationForm

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.UI;

namespace SitefinityWebApp.UserControls

public class customRegistrationForm : RegistrationForm

protected override void RegisterButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

// Hello Registration

Now my question is what do you mean you call the base method?

ok I answer to myself:

base.RegisterButton_Click(sender, e);

Hi Michel,

I just created a new User registration form that contained extra information than what is provided out of the box. Here is the code that I used. I am not sure if you need this functionality but you can use this as an example of what you can do. To add the extra information for sitefinity to persist, I went to the admin part of the site and went to

1. Administration -> Users.
2. Once on the users page, look to the far right and you will see a section called 'Settings For Users'. Under this section, click on the link that says Manage Profile Types.
3. When the Manage Profile Types UI is launched, you will see 'Basic Profile'. Click the link to edit this profile. This is the UI where you can add extra fields to a user.
4. Once I added those fields I created my custom template to display the new UI and the custom class to save and validate my custom information.
5. The Sitefinity Registration control will save any FieldControls located in the UI as long as each FieldControl that needs saving contains a DataFieldName and DataItemType as shown in my template. If a FieldControl does not contain these two properties, it will be ignored.

Below is my code and my template for the UI.

<%@ Control Language="C#" %>

Notice the DataItemType and DataFieldName for each field that I am saving. Here was the code that I used.

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.UI;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies.Model;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.Fields;

namespace PublicControls

public class UserRegistration : RegistrationForm

private const string TemplateName = "PublicControls.Resources.Views.UserRegistration.ascx";

protected override string LayoutTemplateName

get

return TemplateName;

public override string LayoutTemplatePath

get

return string.Empty;

set

base.LayoutTemplatePath = value;

protected override void InitializeControls(Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.GenericContainer container)

base.InitializeControls(container);

TaxonomyManager manager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

var taxonomy = manager.GetTaxonomies<HierarchicalTaxonomy>().Where(i => i.Name == "BusinessServices");

if (taxonomy.Count() == 1)

HierarchicalTaxonomy services = taxonomy.Single();

Tree.TaxonomyId = services.Id;

Tree.TaxonomyProvider = manager.Provider.Name;

Tree.BindOnServer = true;

Tree.DataFieldName = "business_service";

Tree.WebServiceUrl = "~/Sitefinity/Services/Taxonomies/HierarchicalTaxon.svc";

Tree.DataBind();

protected override bool ValidateInput()

bool valid = base.ValidateInput();

if (valid)

//lets validate the rest of our custom fields.

if (!Tree.IsValid())

return false;

if (!Gender.IsValid())

return false;

return valid;

protected HierarchicalTaxonField Tree

get

return this.Container.GetControl<HierarchicalTaxonField>("taxonomy", true);

protected ChoiceField Gender

get

return this.Container.GetControl<ChoiceField>("gender", true);

Hello Doug,

Thank you for using our services.

Can you please let us knwo if when registering your custom control you've used a relative path or the CLR type of the control? Please note that in order to override the base RegistrationForm methods you need to create a custom control (class inheriting from RegistrationForm, not a Web UserControl whose code-behind inherits from RegistrationForm) and register it as per the instructions provided on this page from our documentation.

Regards,
Boyan Barnev
