Hello all,

First I would like to extend my thanks for the excellent work on 3.2 and specifically on the write up of the APIs and Hooks. Great work, even someone with my coding experience can make some custom hooks now.

While working on some code to make the relationships between Parents -> Children on Event registrations I found what I think is a bug. It seems that when I place the Profile on the Event and try to register using said Profile the Contact SubType field, which is supposed to have the Contact SubType value for the Profile, goes missing. Mind you that if I use the Profile to create a Contact SubType with a link to the profile e.g.: /index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/create&gid=8&reset=1 the Contact SubType listbox does contain the value for the subtype. Attached are two jpg's of the same profile, one on the Event process and one straight call.

I will try to reproduce it in the demo site sometime tonight. But, thought I would ask first if someone new about this. Any help would be appreciated.

The reason for me to use the Contact SubType dropdown on a Profile was to uniquely identify it in my Hook script with:
$ContactSubType = $objectRef->contact_sub_type; since I am using the joomla_civicrm_post($op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef) hook and I wouldn't have to rely on the profile number, etc.

For those of you looking for some code on the relationship stuff for profiles and event registration I will post it up here once I have done some more tests on the code, completed putting it into production, and also develop the documentation for my clients.

thanks in advance,
Jose
