Author Topic: Create relationship between new contact & existing contact in profile creation (Read 1129 times)

Hi Guys,

I'm using CiviCRM 3.2 and Drupal 6.17, and I'm relatively new to CiviCRM.

I have set up profiles for three types of CiviCRM contacts, and that's working well.
The contacts are 'user', 'division' and 'team'.
There are several 'users' in a 'team', and several 'teams' in a 'division'.

Within a 'user' profile creation, I would like to add a drop down box (or something similar) that allows the selection of a 'team'.
Upon the 'user' creation, I would like this to assign the 'user' a relationship of 'is a member of' and the 'team' a relationship of 'has a member called'.
Ideally, this would also flow through to the 'division', so that it also has a relationship to the 'user, through the 'team'.

I would also like to do something similar for the creation of a 'team' and a relationship to a 'division'.

Is this possible?
Does anyone have any idea of how I could go about setting this up?

Cheers,
Heidi

I think you can do this by two ways
first and I think more in drupal way is
- use cck, content_profile and CiviCRM CCK Contact Reference module
- add CiviCRM contact reference field ( which will list team ) on user registration
- implement hook_submit ( or may be hook_user ), to add relationship in CiviCRM using CiviCRM api , http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/Relationship+APIs .

And second way is to use only CiviCRM Hooks and api
hook_civicrm_buildForm ( to add select field for team) and hook_civicrm_postProcess ( to implement your logic after form submit )

Hope this will help you..

If you want more information on the API's and hooks, check the book:

Install from the svn (just to get the code)

This drupal module allows to register at the same time an individual and an organisation.
tools/drupal/modules/civicrm_regsite/

Might give you ideas and directions, but you definitely have to read the book, that's using hooks and other stuff everywhere
