Does this Custom Data Group allow multiple records? back-end only?
November 10, 2009, 01:44:40 pm
Hi All,
When I create a custom data group that allows for multiple records it can only be displayed as tab. This works fine in the back-end but can this be made visible at the front-end as well so contacts can update/edit this information? I have looked but not found anything yet.
Help much appreciated,
Cheers,
Adriaan

custom data group with multiple records are not exposed to the front end (via profiles) in v3.1 and prior

would make a great enhancement to the product

you can accomplish this via hooks and custom code. an example implementation is described here:

Before I dig in: Can this only be achieved in a drupal module and not a joomla one? Cheer Adriaan.

it can be achieved via joomla also

If you are a joomla developer, you might want to consider joining us at the joomla developer camp in NY. We are planning to work on the civicrm joomla integration there (on dec 5-7)

Sorry if I missed this part of the discussion thread, but how do you view tabs in the back-end?

Thanks, Nicholas
