Hi,
I’ve made a custom post type ‘member’ that contains some fields like ‘company’ and a custom taxonomy. The member should be able to login, so for every member there is also a user. Within the member I have a relationfield to link the corresponding user.
The frontend works okay, I’ve written functions that create, read and save values to the member and the corresponding user simultaniously. Nvertheless it feels a bit wrong to have two separate post types for one ‘account’ (wich is a member/user pair in my case).
The other disadvantage of that solution is that I have to setup some redundant fields for the e-mail and the name because I also want to display these within the member post type.
But I don’t want to place my custom fields directly to the user post type because:
– there is no way to use taxonomies as I need it.
– The fields are not layed out in the user post type as in other post types.
– my customer shouldn’t see all the wordpress based user fields like color-scheme, user role and so on
So my question is:
Do you see ab better solution for my needs? Or is this the usual way?
