    Hi there,
    I was wondering how to sort this out.
    In the website i’m developing, I would like to relate the Members profile information with weblog info.

    I explain the situation:
    Each Member is also a Sculptor, and I’m using a Sculptors Weblog where is stored all the info related with the sculptor work (style, media..). Also I have the Member Module installed, where the members are able to manage their own information related with the membership, not with the Sculptor work.

    So, is a possibility to create a relationship field in the Member fields where I could relate Members info with the Sculptors Weblog info?

    Cheers,
    Alberto.

    I guess one simple way would be to set the author of the sculptor’s weblog entry to be that of the member?

    Hi Gareth,
    I’ve been doing a research in Google and I ended up finding an extension that creates a new custom field type (Dropdown box filled with all member info): http://leevigraham.com/cms-customisation/expressionengine/lg-member-list/

    Anyhow, thanks for that!
