First, great forum, it's the only open source forum for asp.net that I found and which I can take serious and it's really very well done.

For sure I'm writing here because I'm also very interested regarding the YAFBlend. I want my users to login on my site and automatically get logged in on the YAF-Forum too. Are there already posiblities available to do that?

Best regards,

Markus

First of all, thanks yafaddict for your tool, although i cant get it to run 😞

I get a "connectionstring property not initialized" error when calling new YAFUser($$)

I tried to put in $$:

1. The connectionstring (String) itself, which definitely works

2. AppSetting Key

3. ConnectionString from the web.config (System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings.Item("YAFConnectionString").ConnectionString)

Any clues for the cause?

Thanks

With regards to YAFBlend...I get the following database error if I set the constructor's touch variable to true:

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_yaf_Active'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.yaf_Active'.

The statement has been terminated.

Example:

YAFblend.YAFuser user = new YAFblend.YAFuser("Fishing", true, false);
if (user == null || !user.Authenticated)
{
	Response.Redirect(string.Format("~/forums/default.aspx?g=login&ReturnUrl={0}", Server.UrlEncode(Request.Url.PathAndQuery)));
}

I think there is a bug in the constructor (or the underlying function call) because when I look at the yaf_Active table, it made an entry for UserId=1 even through I was logging in with a user who's user id should have been 4...

fantastic library! this is exactly what our site is needing - however i am getting this error:

i have tried my connection string in quotes "myconnstring" and

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["mystring"].ConnectionString

this is happening when i:

YAFuser userCurrent = new YAFuser("myconnstring", false, false);

it is definately there in my web.config as i slapped on an ASP gridview and it filled up nicely using this connection string.

thanks in advance!

I seem to have found why it was not working for me.

with my project my 'connection string' (in web.config) for my database was defined as follows:

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

HOWEVER - after using this fantastic tool Reflector  to peek inside the yafblend dll i found it is not using the 'connectionStrings' method of getting the connection string - it is using the 'appSettings' method.

For yafblend to get a successfull connection to the database you need to add this to your web.config (outside the system.web):
