I am looking for a little advice with the use of the Dyn User Directory module. It works great but I am curious to see if anyone will suggest how to handle this data.
I am using the module to display detailed user profile information. 1500 members - 500 active, 500 inactive, 500 deceased. It is a fraternity website so I maintain all members - alive or not - I need for all to be part of my directory.
I need to maintain data related to Offices, Honors, Awards ... as well as the year for each of these. There are 20 or so Offices/Awards and 100 possible years for each. If I hold this info in the user profile, I would have 2 fields for each - 40 or more fields - All list boxes or check boxes. I could see this to be problematic when searching.
Should I consider another method to store this data? I do need to include it in the Dyn User Directory search results. Is there a way to include data from outside the profile in a Dyn User Directory search?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Dan
