Setting up an account with multiple addresses

[bastonian]

Hi,
I am trying to set up a structure where a contact works for a company which have many addresses but are still part of the same company. My current approach is to create a different account for each address then link them up as a memeber of a main account. This works but looks poor and is quite confusing. Is there a way of having a single account record but have a different address for different contacts.

Thanks for your help

Jason.

Hi Jason

You may consider:
1. creating a custom module Addresses;
2. create a relationship 1:M between Contacts and Addresses;
3. create a relationship 1:M between Accounts and Addresses;
4. implement the save function on Addresses custom module which fill in account name field when adding an address into a Contact.

Cheers

andopes,

Many thanks. I have the first 3 sorted. Is the save function implemented using the wyswig interface or do I need to write some code?

Hi Jason

You need to write some code on Addresses class.
Have a look on modules/Users/User.php

Hi bastonian,

If you did with multiple addresses functionality with account, can you just share it with us, so that we can know how you goes..
