CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

You need to include the profile in the event settings here :

You might want to read a bit about it on our online book esp the chapter about configuring and planning the events :

where can I see the data that is input into the custom data fields?

You can go to the event tab of the contact, and you 'll see the list of all the events that this contact has participated in. Click View to have a look at the details of the Participant. Here is a example link, where you can see custom data for the participant:

Thanks for the reply.  As I reported in this thread:

My CiviCRM 2.2.7 throws a fatal error if I click on View.  The advice I received
was to upgrade to 3.0.x. After reading through some of the stories on the
Upgrade forum, I think I will wait awhile.

Instead I've found a workaround and the answer to my problem of displaying
the custom data for an event.

I simply used Views in Drupal to pull all the CiviCRM data from the custom fields
which I then can display in nicely formatted table on a page.

The advantage of this is that the view can be easily adjusted and any of
the columns can be set to be sortable. Exactly what I wanted.
