Hi There,

I have a situation where I have several different membership types, each having a different number of allowed "active members".

For example:

Regular Membership - 2 Active Members
Gold Membership - 4 Active Members
Platinum Membership - 8 Active Members

My first step in dealing with this looks to be to be able to add the "active member" as an integer field to the membership type itself, right next to membership duration and member dues.
 My problem here is that I don't quite have any idea on where to start, I'd appreciate even a whiff of a clue!

the membership type table does not allow custom fields. I suspect one potential option is to:

create and manage your own table, which consists of

membership_type_id and number_of_active_members

You can then use this table in your hook code. Might want to create a drupal module that creates this table etc.
