ASP.NET Membership Registration Fix

Here’s a plain-English brief you can paste straight into Freelancer. It avoids jargon, explains the context, and makes it clear what “done” looks like.

Project: Finish and fix user registration logic for Yellow Ladybugs website (Local Connect)

We have an existing staging site with most functionality built. We need a developer to tidy up and extend the registration logic so it works properly for real users.

Background (important context)

Our site has two related membership types:

• Local Connect Families
• Local Connect Plus Adults

At the moment, these are treated as separate registrations, which is causing problems.

Right now:
• A person who registers as a Family member cannot register as an Adult using the same email address
• This is not the behaviour we want

What we want instead:
• One person should be able to hold both a Family and an Adult membership under the same email/login

What needs to be done (high level)
1. Allow the same email address to be used for:
• Local Connect Families
• Local Connect Plus Adults
2. If someone already has a Family account and then registers as an Adult:
• Do NOT create a duplicate user
• Update their existing user record so they are marked as having both roles
• Then add the Adult-specific data as normal
3. If someone is brand new and registers as an Adult only:
• Keep the current behaviour (create a new user and adult record)

Technical notes (you don’t need to rewrite these for us, just implement)

• Users are stored in UserProfile
• Family members are stored in Member
• Adult members are stored in Adult
• IDs are shared across these tables

There is an existing “UserType” field:
• Family only = 1
• Adult only = 5

We need to add:
• Family + Adult = UserType 6

When someone who is already a Family member registers as an Adult:
• Update their UserProfile.UserType to 6
• Then continue with the existing Adult registration logic

Also:
• Anywhere the system checks user type, it must recognise this new combined type as valid

Development setup expectations

You should be able to:
• Run the project locally
• Create a local SQL database called “yellowladybugs”
• Run the existing database scripts in order
• Test registrations end-to-end

Testing we expect you to do

• Register several Family accounts
• Register Adult accounts
• Register an Adult using an email that already exists as a Family account
• Confirm:
– One user record only
– Correct user type
– Both memberships work as expected

What we are looking for

• Someone comfortable working with an existing codebase
• Careful with data integrity (no duplicate users)
• Able to explain clearly what they changed and why
• No redesign or visual work needed — this is logic and data handling only

Please include in your proposal:
• Your experience with similar membership or role-based systems
• Confirmation you can work from an existing staging site
• An estimate of time to complete and test
