Tracking the time connection exists

    Hello,
    I would like to ask for some directions on how to track the time for which the connection between post types exists.

    My app has Projects, and a User can be associated with a Project. When this happens I want to have lets say StartDate of the current connection. If the User disconnects from the Project I want to have EndDate for the end of the connection.

    Some time after the connection between the User and the Project has ended it can renew, again with StartDate and EndDate.

    My idea is when I’m on the Project page to display something like:
    User has been on this Project from [StartDate] to [EndDate];
    User has been on this Project from [StartDate] to [EndDate];
    etc..

    Each connection must be completely new to my app. It shouldnt reuse old records from the database but always set up new record for the current connection.

    Is there a way to accomplish this with this plugin. I’ve been playing around with it for a while and I really like it.

    Edit:

    Since I am still reading the great documentation for this plugin in github I wanted to point out that I should probably be using these two actions:
    p2p_created_connection and p2p_delete_connection
    But only thing that comes to me in mind is to create separate table to hold the data I need(Connection, connected, disconnected) and populate it on these two actions.

    I would be happy if you point me some better way to do it ??

    Hello,

    The problem is solved with these two beautiful low-level api actions.

    If there is a way to solve it by just using the p2pmeta table I will be glad to hear it.

    Wish you all the best!
