assiging user to a volume discount group dynamically

[Carolharry]

We have a special page which has Register control of Ablecommerce. I modified Registerdialog.ascx so that when the user logs in through this page we assign them to a special volume discount group and redirect them to a special category which has products with special volumediscount associated to that category.

I am doing it like this

if ((Token.Instance.UserId != newUserId) && (newUserId != 0))
{
User.Migrate(Token.Instance.User, newUser);
Token.Instance.UserId = newUserId; //this is AbleCommerce Code
if (_isSpecialuser)//this is being passed from usercontrol attribute
{
newUser.UserGroups.Add(new UserGroup(newUser.UserId, 14));
newUser.Save();


if (!newUser.IsAnonymous)
Response.Redirect("categorylist.aspx?categoryid=98");

}
}
1. Problem is after I redirect him to this page, his status is still "Anonymous".
2. The not newUser.Isanonymous condition is returning true and the user is redirected to category=98 page.
3. I checked the user Id being retrieved in categorylist.aspx page and it says a differnt userid(anonymous userid) and not the newUser.userId.
hence, when I add the product in category =98 to cart I am not getting the volume discount associated to that category.

What is that I am missing? Why isn't response.redirect taking the authenticated userid?

Any help??

thanks

Check the ConLib/RegisterDialog(Out of the Box) control's code in detail that how it is migrating anonymous user after registration.

AbleCommerce uses ASPNET Forms Authentication for user tracking. After you have established your new user, you will need to tell the browser that the user is authenticated. In other words, set a cookie.

Code: Select all

if (!newUser.IsAnonymous)
{
  FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(newUser.UserName, false);
  Response.Redirect("categorylist.aspx?categoryid=98");
}
