Abp: Steps required to add custom property to AppUser

[274188A]

So I have added an additional property to AppUser:

public virtual Guid? OriginId { get; set; }

I have add the migrations and synched the db schema successfully.

However I think I am missing a mappings step...
Question: Do I define a mapping expression somewhere to pick up my new property?
If so where should this be defined? In the imported identity module?

Have you seen the explanation in the template file?

Yes - seen that but when I run the app I get a mapping exception - missing map for my new property

AutoMapper.AutoMapperConfigurationException:
Unmapped members were found. Review the types and members below.
Add a custom mapping expression, ignore, add a custom resolver, or modify the source/destination type

For no matching constructor, add a no-arg ctor, add optional arguments, or map all of the constructor parameters

ProfileDto -> PersonalSettingsInfoModel (Destination member list)
Volo.Abp.Identity.ProfileDto -> Volo.Abp.Account.Web.Pages.Account.PersonalSettingsInfoModel (Destination member list)

Unmapped properties:
OriginId

This is very strange, can you provide the steps to reproduce the problem?

[274188A]

add the following property to namespace Acme.BookStore.Users.AppUser

public virtual Guid? OriginId { get; set; }

In PersonalSettingsInfoModel add the following:

[StringLength(50)]
[Display(Name = "DisplayName:OriginId")]
public string OriginId { get; set; }

In BookStoreDbContextModelCreatingExtensions add:

public static void ConfigureCustomUserProperties<TUser>(this EntityTypeBuilder<TUser> b) where TUser: class, IUser { b.Property<Guid?>(nameof(AppUser.OriginId)).IsRequired(false); }

run code first migrations

[maliming]

In PersonalSettingsInfoModel add the following:

[StringLength(50)]
[Display(Name = "DisplayName:OriginId")]
public string OriginId { get; set; }

PersonalSettingsInfoModel is the class of the account module. How do you add new property?

[274188A]

I see - I should not have touched that. I added it by editing the module itself

[274188A]

I edited the Manage.cshtml file of that module simply because i wanted to see if i could customise the UI for the AppUser

This requires me to change the model so I can use the values on a page.

[274188A]

if i'm going down the wrong track happy to receive feedback...

[maliming]

You should not modify the source code of the module. You can override the components in the module in some cases.

[274188A]

So are we not allowed to add a new property to AppUser and have it editable in the UI?

[ismcagdas]

@274188A you are but it is not very easy at the moment. We are working on extensibility and will offer a solution for such cases.

[274188A]

I understand - thanks for taking the time to look at my question
