Getting relationship custom data fields in Profile
November 22, 2010, 02:51:13 pm
what is the easiest way to get relationship fields that I defined in custom data to appear as an field option in Profiles? I see contacts and other fields, but not anything about relationships. Thanks

you will need to do this via hooks and customized templates. This is a limitation with profiles and cannot do this via the UI

the civischool blog posts describes one such implementation

Thanks Donald, with my implentation the user will register using the custom civicontribution page and membership. Will I still need hooks if it starting with that page, or could I just modify the template to expose the relationship fields. Do you possibly have a cookbook that explains what steps you took to do that for SF School or what files I should be looking at changing? I just want help getting in the right direction. any help you can give would be great.
