Hi all

I have a bit of a different take on the login integration question. I have an existing site and have added YAF successfully. (WooHoo!!).

Now I want to add a membership component to the website. Since YAF is in place, is there a way that I can simply use the YAF login process for the whole website?

Thanks

Richard

If you used the Membership framework for your YAF login then yes it's very easy. If not, you'll just have to figure out how YAF membership works and use that.

I haven't actually built the member site yet, so I will start with the Microsoft Membership Framework and build with integration in mind.

Thanks

So I have setup my site with Microsoft Membership Framework using ASP.NET. What would be the next step to getting YAF to use the MS Membership login information. Please keep it really direct and simple, and use examples if at all possible. I am a complete noob at this stuff. Consider that it has taken me two days to get the MS Membership stuff working:!:

Thanks

Just edit the Membership Provider settings in YAFs web.config to use your Membership Framework system.

Hi

The web.config in my YAF folder (aka forums) consists of the following 6 lines...

I have it working as a subfolder in the existing application. Is there a different file (eg yafnet.config or the root web.config) that might contain this information?

And I want to let you know that I am very appreciative of your help with this. I thought it should be a simple thing and I am sure once I get the details figured out it will be.

Thanks

Richard

Use version 1.9.3. Previous versions don't work with the Membership framework.

Will do.

Thanks

Hi

This must be reallllly trying your patience. I can see all the people asking these same questions, so I understand why you might be tired of answering them.

So I hosed my 1.9.1.8 environment and installed the 1.9.3 version. It's a bit tricky doing it as a subdirectory, although I had it working fine in the previous version and I have not doubt my current issue is a really simple one.

I have done everything and gotten the install complete. But when I go to the forum site I get the following error.

I have the dlls in the root/bin folder and my "root" line in app.config reads as follows.

The actual path to YAF is webroot/forums. I am fairly sure I have buggered up my web.config or app.config somehow, and I suspect is has something to do with the root key but I have tried pretty much every variation.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Oops.

I meant this as the error.

System.ApplicationException: Failed to get configuration from Web.config.
