Unique member data for inherited memberships
September 29, 2012, 07:00:05 pm
I would like to use inherited memberships for our club "Family Membership", household members would be granted the membership of the primary club member.  That works well but now I realize that the child member inherits the data from the parent membership (membership record).  I need to capture data unique to each child member but do not see a way to accomplish this within the membership record, am I missing something?

can you give an example or two of the kind of data that you want to collect? is it contact info? or something else.

from a data model POV, it sounds like the right place to collect that data is the child's contact record.

from a workflow POV, i'm not sure if there is a straight forward way to create forms that will capture data from inherited members as part of the membership sign up (though others may correct me on that).

if that is the case, it is likely to involve some custom coding / working around / potentially writing an extension that accomplishes that.

There are three fields:
1) Membership waiver acceptance //Duration is same as membership
2) ICE Contact Name
3) ICE Contact Phone
In some cases, the primary member's ICE contact is one of the inherited members and vice-versa.  I can roll these into the contact record but the waiver management is challenging.  The event model works well to capture additional participant data, one-by-one.  I may change the work-flow to allow the inherited member to register to the primary membership with a different form (wish I had webform on Joomla!).

Thanks for your reply!
