Hi,
I've been using the FBA pack for while, and added some custom fields by basically following what the code does and extra variables here and there. It's all working, I can see the values from my registration form in my lists (eg. Job Title).
I'm at a stage where I'm developing members User Profiles, within SharePoints own MySite and really struggling with how to connect the 2 together.
Alot of searching has led to me trying for a long time to get the User Profile Service and User profile Synchronisation Service to start and then try to map the fields across. The SharePoint UserProfiles have their own Job Title field, so it would be ace to find a way to link these to be the same, but I've been banging my head against a brick wall for long enough now.
More recently, it's been suggested to write a custom ProfileProvider that uses the database for everything, is this the way to do it? It seems SharePoint has it's own version of the Profile classes, so it doesn't seem that obvious to me either!
Would appreciate any feedback on this, and if anyone has done it before themselves?
Thanks,
Bav
