Hi Guys,

I am about to start building a personal project using SilverStripe and I thought I would ask you guys some advice before I get started. At the moment I am just in the planning phase but hoping to move on to the design and coding phase in the next 2-3 weeks.

Anyway, to the point. The website is a being design so that we have try to bring long-term travelling families together in a single place. I will use the forum module, create some custom page types etc. BUT my main question is this:

What I would really like is for each family to have a single (family) profile on the site, where we will store their basic information and travel itinerary etc. But I would like for each person within this family to be able to have an account so they can access the forums etc.

Sorry, this might be a stupidly simple question, but does anyone have any advice how I can set this up to have multiple members that belong to a family.

So I guess this would mean when a family signs up we will need to create a member record in the member table and then a family record (in a family object or something like that).

Anyway, ANY suggestions of a way to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Colin

hi,

i am not sure what your problem is exactly.
but i would make a registerform like that:

Family:

family name: _______

Person 1:

first name: __________
surname: _________
email: _________
password: _______

Person 2:

first name: __________
surname: _________
email: _________
password: _______

...

Then (you are right) , you have to create a new familiy (dataobject class) and n members (all that are filled out)

To get a relation between family and member you could decorate the member class to get a "familiyID" in the members table.

I hope this helps you.
