Hi,

How can I make sure that the subscription type is set to HTML by default.
If i put defaultValue="Html" in my webconfig, I get an error.

tnx

I had this problem - setting default values in web.config, in the userprofile control drop down list and in the database all don't seem to do it - I think it's do with the fact that the value in the database is null when the control loads for the first time.
In the end I just wrote a couple of lines to run after the CreateUserWizard to set the value of the mailing preference in the user's profile and save it - i.e. set it programmatically as soon as your user account is created and before they go on to enter their other details.

But if anyone has a more elegant solution, let's hear it!

Vantoko (off topic),

How did your tagging solution come along?? I've implemented a TagCloud against my searches, perhaps not what you were trying to achieve, but nonetheless, quite informative. take a look below to see if it's in the 'ballpark' of what you were hoping to achieve:

Hi,

can you post the code here ?

tnx

Hi jimi,

I add my tags to my articles, but your search cloud is also interesting to add on a search screen this will provide extra info to the users.

My search cloud will be online in a couple of weeks (I totally redesigned my site :)

I still cannot set the default to HTML.
does anyone have ANY idea on how I can solve this ?

tnx

Isn't it just a matter of going into the UserProfile.ascx file, and changing the dropdownlist code to this:

            <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlSubscriptions">
                <asp:ListItem Text="No subscription" Value="None" />
                <asp:ListItem Text="Subscribe to plain-text version"
                    Value="PlainText" />
                <asp:ListItem Text="Subscribe to HTML version" Value="Html" Selected="True" />
            </asp:DropDownList>

?

Forgot to add. I can't really test this. I completely removed the profile step from my CreateUserWizard to ensure I can send my new users an Email verification link...
