Only my second Umbraco project, so I still need a bit of help.
For my next project I've got a couple of forms that need to be build. A contact form, newsletter subscription and job application. Can this be done by putting all the information in the Members? I was thinking of creating different Member Types (Contacts, Applicants, subscribers) for this. Is that the way to go, or is there another way to accomplish this?
I will create member groups for subscription, contacts etc and document types for contact/application/subscription forms, and registered member type for members.
Keep this in mind when making the decision (this is how I do think of it, and has always worked for me): Do you distinction based on functionality or based on profile data? If the latter, use member types, otherwise go for member groups (and have a single member type holding all relevant profile data)
Different types of members
Hi,
Only my second Umbraco project, so I still need a bit of help.

Peter,

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I think in this case I will go with the different Member Groups and one Member Type. I will let you know how this worked out for me.
Grts,

Well, that worked perfectly. Thanks very much.
Here's a screengrab of what I've done:

3 different member groups, 1 member type with a bunch of non-mandatory properties to store all the info in.
Grts,
Peter
