Can't get fields from a tab group into a profile
January 09, 2010, 01:31:07 pm
The title says it, I'm trying to get fields from a custom data group (for "Individuals") into a profile for data collection. The fields are not showing up in the dropdown during profile creation.

Is this a limitation, a problem with my installation/configuration, or a bug?

If all else fails I will just interface through the API, but I'd hate to have to do that.

most likely  the custom group is  set to store multiple records. we dont expose such custom fields to a profile

would be great if you could investigate / contribute / sponsor a patch to remedy this issue. it is a fairly large non-trivial issue

This sounds like a good winter night project. I'll give it some time at home when I can. Until then I'll just change those fields over to single entry, we'll just work with it.

I am having the same problem.  Is there a way to use conditional fields?  Instead of listing multiple "jobs"  They would enter job1 and select yes to list another job which would display the fields for job2.  Not as fast or as pretty, but it works.  I saw this used on the "create event page" for the discount by date fields.

There is a drupal module for this that works with cck.  I am very new to civiCRM so I am still not sure of the interaction abilities with Drupal.  Can I import cck fields?

If this is not an option how would a "client" fill out a form with multiple listings?  How else would you use that feature?

1. u cannot import cck fields. Our integratio with cck is pretty limited

2. you will need to write custom code for this
