How to Add Extended Properties

In Community Server its easy to add extended properties to the user profile without having to write any code:

To your CommunityServer.config file, add

<ExtendedUserData>
  <add name="EXTENDED ATTRIBUTE NAME" />
</ExtendedUserData>

Then on your theme pages:

• User Register (/themes/YOURTHEME/user/createuser.aspx)
• Edit Profile (/themes/YOURTHEME/user/edituser.aspx)
• Edit User page in Membership Administration in Control Panel (/ControlPanel/Membership/UserEdit.aspx)

add the following input field:

<asp:TextBox id="EXTENDED ATTRIBUTE NAME" runat="server" />

That's it!
