YAF.NET Support Forum

Hope all is well! I have a quick question (I think?) I'm trying to extend the YafuserProfile so that I can add some more properties. When I try to reference it the "base" is always null.

My extension:
namespace TradeInsights.Framework
{

public class TraderProfile : YafUserProfile
{
static public TraderProfile CurrentUser
{
get
{
return (TraderProfile)(YafUserProfile.Create(Membership.GetUser().UserName));
}
}

public static new TraderProfile GetProfile(string username)
{
return Create(username) as TraderProfile;
}
public static TraderProfile GetProfile()
{
return Create(Membership.GetUser().UserName) as TraderProfile;

}

[SettingsAllowAnonymous(false)]
public virtual string Referrer
{
get { return ((string)(base["Referrer"])); }
set { base["Referrer"] = value; Save(); } (NULL issue here, that thing is non-existent)
}
}
}

My web.config:
<profile enabled="true" defaultProvider="YafProfileProvider" inherits="TradeInsights.Framework.TraderProfile">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="YafProfileProvider" applicationName="TradeInsights" connectionStringName="yafnet" type="YAF.Providers.Profile.YafProfileProvider" />
</providers>
</profile>

I'm probably missing something obvious but I've never done anything with membership. Thank you in advanced for any input you can offer!

I also get this whenever I try to view a user profile or even view a post. Related?
