Thank you,

Perhaps it can be an option to store this information for each user directly in the standard WP-database – or, from a security/maintainability point of view, it might be better to use a separate database for this info.

I am not sure that this is the correct forum for this discussion?

Thank you boudewijn!

I am starting to get the picture here – I hope :). Basically, the S2Member framework sits on top of the standard WordPress memebership structure. When a user is logged in, I can use standard WordPress functions, such as get_user_meta() to extract a unique ID for that user. This ID can then be used to connect to a different/external MySQL database where other data for the user is stored, e.g. monthly water-readings. When the data is extracted, plotting it on a graph is easy.

Does this all sound to be on the correct track?

Good day,

Thank you for your reply. I understand what you mean, and as I said, I am quite new to using S2Memeber. Perhaps I should phrase my query differently:

If I have a number of external databases for each of my registered user, then how can I extract this information from them? When a user logs in, then he/she is directed to a custom profile type page. On that page, there is then some PHP code that connects to the correct database, based on the user-information. The data in this database can then be extracted and displayed. Will S2Member be able to provide the required functionality/info for me to select the correct external database for the user?

Kind Regards,
Danie
