member database with mojo or go custom

Every so often I get someone asking for a membership database for their club or organization and I have always wanted to do this inside of mojo but wanted to see what everyone would recommend or if anybody has accomplished this?

Very simple - the members would be in categories and have a simple profile with contact information and descriptions

public side would want the member to display with pagination and simple filter by category and name

admin side need to add edit delete members - just a few screens.

Three questions: 

1.) Do I use the MOJO membership system to do this and was that what it is intended to do.

2.) or do I build this as a custom module with its own database and add it in to MOJO

3.) if any one has done this I would be interested in discussing your rates

any recommendations on a starting point would also be great help

thanks in advance

Re: member database with mojo or go custom

Hi,

The user management in mojoPortal is an abstraction level for any membership system like what you mentioned. In my opinion the best way to extend this abstraction is:

1- Create a table for store any extended fields that you want and set a relationship with mp_Users table.

2- Create a module with a list control on it to show member list and other administration links as you wish.

3- Redirect user to a page to fulfilling  extended information. You can do this with an after registration handler that occur after registration.

Now you can manage members in site owner side, but the problem is when a user what to changes some of this fields on demand. For solve this you can develop a user control and add it to layout.master in your skin.

I think better way is, Joe make UserProfile.aspx page more flexible so that can inject some user links into it.

Hope Helps

Asad

Re: member database with mojo or go custom

thank you for your reply,

That is great idea and got me thinking about the possibilities.  I am concerned about upgrades and the potential of the additional tables to be deleted.

Any thoughts on that?
