The UFGroup API is a great API that has helped me tremendously. However, I did find what I would consider to be a small bug when using the civicrm_uf_field_create($UFGroup, $params) function. When a profile has more then one phone type (say phone and fax,) they should both have the value of "phone" for the "field_name" field. However, the 2nd one will error out with an error message that a duplicate value already exists for the profile. Since "name" is required to be set as "phone" to make things work on the frontend, this means having to do a workaround such as initially setting the field_name to fax for the 2nd "phone" and then manually changing it to "phone" in the database.

Am I missing some way around setting the "field_name" to "phone" for all phone types? This is what happens when they are done manually from the admin, and using the workaround posted above works fine.

I am using these to automate a generic install of a search profile used on a number of sites. This specific instance is a directory listing of all members of a particular type. There is no form until I do this
