Adding members

These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.

The previous section explained how to build a custom content class for storing information about members. We'll now use the administration interface to create a couple of instances of this class. In other words, we'll create a bunch of member objects and put some data into them.

Lets create a couple of members. They should all be put into a dedicated "Members" folder. By now, you should be able to do the following operation(s) without following a detailed step-by-step guide.

  1. Create a folder called "Member" (in the root of the content folder).
  2. Assign this folder to the "Members section".
  3. Navigate into the members folder.
  4. Create a couple of member objects.
    Feel free to use the example data provided below.

Example data:

Alexander Ferrari
Happy King
1970.02.02
Male
555-3212

Note: It is not possible to store dates earlier than January 1st, 1970.

That's because the Date attribute is stored in an Unix timestamp, which is a long integer keeping the number of seconds since Jan 1st, 1970 (the start of the "Unix epoch").

The solution is to create a custom attribute which is stored some other way, and use that instead.

"It is not possible to store dates earlier than January 1st, 1970."

Then how do you deal with members born before that date?
