KentBrockman Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hey there, once again I need your support. We are currently working on a project for a sport horse trader. To every horse in the database the pedigree should be shown. If the ancestors are horses in the database too, it would be clear, that i only have to mark up the mother and father by a page-field. So i could show the family tree using recursion. But in this project the ancestors are only names, means text without a link. To create a page for every ancestors would be hard to handle. Does anyone have a good idea on how to implement a family tree without using pages? Repeater, ProFields? THX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn Geerts Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Sorry, pages is the easiest way I guess. Say a stallion has 50 or more children, how to manage that not relational? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentBrockman Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Martjin, your posted solution fit's perfect... To another customer we've got. Thank you in advance!But for this project i would like to get back to my initial question.Background:The pedigree is only to show the horses ancestors in a small overview. No children will be shown and no more ancestors than mother/father and grandmothers/grandfathers. That means a depth of only two ancestors.According to the briefing, the customers is selling a lot of sports horses in a week. So it would be nice if the customer would not have to create six pages with just names to build up the pedigree for a single horse. To make the creation of a horse easy and fast I'm thinking about only one page on which the customer can set all the data including the pedigree at.I think I will create six simple text fields for the pedigree...Or does anyone see an acceptable solution without pages?Thanks!
