Managing Membership start and end date.

Not natively, you’ll have to build that in. How you do that really depends on what you want done with that: do the get a message? Are they unregistered? Do you show them how much linger they are a member? Etc.

At any rate, some custom code will be needed…

Thanks for answering.

In fact, the way we work now, the registered members are those who the end date is smaller than today date. If we (human action at the present time) renew the person, then we just change the end date.

I suppose that I can create a start date field, and a end date field ?
Also, can I have many secondary records (as an example : notes) attached to a main record (the person)?

Thanks

You can define date fields and use them to determine if a member is current or not. When they re-up (however that happens) you’ll need to manually change the end date to keep them active.

Parts of that could be automated, like the end date could be preset to a specific date depending on the current date when a new member is registered. This would require the use of a filter that updates the end date when a new registration comes in.

To your second question, the answer is no, unless you code a custom form element that manages a series of notes as separate entries. Best you can do without extending the form elements is to use a text area that could be added to as an ongoing note.

Thank you xnau for your answers.
I will now start uploading my Excel data in the Participants Database plugin.

Thanks again,
