CiviMember relation not created automatically
June 10, 2010, 12:01:40 am
Civicrm 3.1.5 is running, I've created a new Membership type, specified to add the existing relation type "member of" to an existing organization record.

While entering new membership from the individual record page on civicrm, I go successfully through all the process of creating the new membership and contribution steps, but at the end, no new relation exists btw the individual contact and the organisation.

Do I misunderstood what is the "relation" between a member and an organization in the membership type definition?
is it a feature or a bug? I'm lost with that aspect of civiMember...

Yes. Membership is not stored as a relationship in CiviCRM.
So in database, the member record are stored in civicrm_membership table (which has other membership related info ) as opposed to relations which is stored in civicrm_relationship table.

You might want to read the chapters regarding Memberships and concepts about Relationships in our online book :

Ok, I've got it, I really missed the step at this point. Thank you for your quick response, I should read more carefully ALL the documentation ;-)
