In Admin>User Accounts>Manage Profile Properties>Add New Profile Property in 4.5.4., the combobox dropdown for Data Type is not available. In it's place, it just has the text "AD". This affectly means that I can't create new profile properties. I don't remember this issue in 4.5.3.
Anyone else have this problem and if so, how did you fix it? |

As far as i know this issue has been addressed in DNN 4.5.5 which was released in the last day or so. Check out the the change log for 4.5.5 for more details. Get a copy of v4.5.5 from the usual download page on the DNN mothership (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/125/default.aspx)

I had the same problem and upgrading to DNN 4.5.5- this allowed me to see the DataTypes list.
My issue is that when extendign the member profile proerties to create a custom registration form (as per your tutorial) whein I try to add a data type of "date" or "datetime" or "integer" (using either Host or Admin and the new DNN Profile Properties Editor only) it does not seem to accept this.
If I logout and attempt to register as a user I get the following error message (and no registration form is displayed):
"A critical error has occurred.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Can someone please advise on how I can use these particular datatypes to alow users to enter dates, numbers or times?
2)
FYI: NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELEVANT AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS AN ERROR I NEED TO FIX - & HOW!) but when upgrading from DNN 4.5.4 to DNN 4.5.5 using the DNN Version Upgrade file; I received the following notice:

For #1: Please log in as site administrator and look at the Log Viewer. Click on the title of the error and you'll see some more details. Post them here and let us take a look at them.
For #2: You upgraded to 04.05.05. When you first go to the site, DotNetNuke recognizes that the database is the old version (-4.04.04). So, it upgrades the database to 04.05.05. The rest of the message tells you that was done successfully. |

MikeT or anyone ...
Did you solve this problem? I'm having this same issue on a site that I'm helping to develop.

I found (from the DNN Forums) that this was caused by a custom profile property "Birthdate" set to type datetime. Removing the custom property rectified the error.
Still, I'd like to have Birthdate as a datetime value ...

You can delete or edit the Profile from the Manage Profile Properties link that lives at the bottom of the Users page when you are logged in as host or admin.
In my case, I changed the property from datetime to text.

Hi Joe
No, I never found a solution to this issue and also used a text rather than datetime.
I did send a query about this to Joe Brinkman at DNN, who said he would investigate but I have had not response to date.

Does anyone have an answer for the custom field in Manage Profile where the data type is DATE?
I have to add a field called Hire Date and I get the exact error Ramjammas was getting way back in 06 Aug
2007. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, |

| I just added a "Birthdate" field to a 4.8.x site without problem. So, I'd recommend that you upgrade to the most recent version, 4.8.3. |

| I will try that Joe. Meanwhile I would like users who login to my site to only use a-zA-Z0-9 (alpha numeric only, no special chars) for their password. How would I go about doing this in DNN 4.05.05? Also how would I force about 1300 users to change their password after they log in for the first time to the site without having to do this one user at a time? Any help with these two questions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

I'm not sure why you would want to prevent users from using special characters in their passwords. You can do the alternative which is to require numeric or non-alpha characters.
As for forcing everyone to change their passwords, you can run a SQL query on the Users table:
Update Users
Set UpdatePassword = 1
That will do it.
If you aren't used to SQL, the last two issue of DNNCreative will teach you how to do all of this. |

| Joe i have to correct myself here. I have to prevent the users from using special characters (well actually space " ") in their username, not their passwords. Can this be done? |

Aha!
I'm not aware of anything in the code that would prevent this.
I'd guess that you probably could do something like that with DataSprings Dynamic Registration module, mostly guessing because you can do so much with it ...

| I'm considering DataSpring but may not have time to 'learn' it before Monday June 9. Maybe an email asking them not to use space " " in their username is what I can do for now until I get used to DataSpring. Thanks again Joe. |
