Hi,

I have a 7.5 Relate site which is also MVC. One of the requirements is to have a read only use profile page and the Relate user object needs to have additional custom properties which have been added in Community admin mode, an example is ExternalUserID (string) and there are a few others.

On the page type I have a property of IUser which is decorated as [Ignore] as it's not editable in EPiServer as follows

[Ignore]
public virtual IUser ProfileUser { get; set; }

I also have a corresponding property for each addtional custom attributes I added to the Relate user object - so that my view is less cluttered i.e. so that I don't have to check the attribute is null etc in the view. For example:

[Ignore]
public virtual string ExternalUserID
{
   get { return "check for null etc, return string"; }
}

Now this works in that the page loads and the fields are displayed as expected however I am encountering errors when editing and trying to save the page.

Firstly I get the error:
Property accessor 'ExternalUserID' on object 'Castle.Proxies.UserProfilePageProxy' threw the following exception: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If I change ExternalUserID to:

public virtual string ExternalUserID()
{
   return "check for null etc, return string";
}

This prevents the previous error, but somehow doesn't cause errors with the other custom attributes, but I get the error:

Property accessor 'Password' on object 'EPiServer.Common.Security.User' threw the following exception: 'Cannot decrypt password.' Cannot decrypt password.

For the first error I'm not trying to set the ExternalUserID for the second I'm not trying to do anything with the password.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark
