Create user template

The Create user template should inherit the CreateUserViewModel, and use the Dynamicweb.Rendering and Dynamicweb.Users.Frontend namespaces.

Create a form with properties from the ViewModel that displays the necessary user information the user should be able to fill - usually that would be: username, email, password and confirm password. To execute a creation of a user submit an URL with the UserCmd=createuser, you should also check that the user information is correct otherwise inform the visitor:

@inherits ViewModelTemplate<CreateUserViewModel>
@using Dynamicweb.Rendering
@using Dynamicweb.Users.Frontend

<!-- Create the URL with the UserCmd -->
@{
    string createUserLink = $"/Default.aspx?ID={Pageview.Page.ID}&amp;UserCmd=createuser";
}

<!-- Create a form that displays properties from the ViewModel-->
<form action="@createUserLink" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="ID" value="@Pageview.ID">

    <input type="text" placeholder="UserName" name="UserManagement_Form_UserName" id="UserManagement_Form_UserName" value="@Model.UserName" required>
    <label for="Name">UserName</label>

    <input type="email" placeholder="Email" name="UserManagement_Form_Email" id="UserManagement_Form_Email" value="@Model.Email" required />
    <label for="Email">Email</label>

    <input type="password" placeholder="Password" name="UserManagement_Form_Password" id="UserManagement_Form_Password" required>
    <label for="Password">Password</label>

    <input type="password" placeholder="Confirm Password" name="UserManagement_Form_ConfirmPassword" id="UserManagement_Form_ConfirmPassword" required>
    <label for="ConfirmPassword">Confirm Password</label>

    <!-- Check the result of the form, if success inform the visitor, if not show error message -->
    @if (Model.Result is not null)
    {
        @if (Model.Result.ResultType.ToString() == "Success")
        {
            <div>The user has successfully been created!</div>
        }
        else
        {
            <div>@Translate(Model.Result.ResultType.ToString())</div>
        }
    }
    <button type="submit" id="CreateUserButton">Create</button>
</form>

Email template

The Email template should inherit the CreateUserViewModel, and use the Dynamicweb.Rendering and Dynamicweb.Users.Frontend namespaces. The email needs to include a link from the ViewModel that the user follows to complete the creation process and activating their user:

@inherits ViewModelTemplate<CreateUserViewModel>
@using Dynamicweb.Rendering
@using Dynamicweb.Users.Frontend

<!--Create a link for the user to activate their user. You can also include other properties you want to display -->
@{
    string resultUserName = Model.UserName;
    string email = Model.Email;
    string approveAccount = Model.ApprovalLink;
}

<h1>Hi and welcome @resultUserName</h1>
<p>Please click the button below to confirm your email @email for your user account </p>
<a href="@approveAccount">Click here and confirm your email</a>
