Author Topic: How do I get the 'Group(s)' field into a CiviCRM Profile (e.g. Member Detail) (Read 2267 times)

Hi all,

(My first posting :-).

I have been struggling to implement the setup of a new membership form. I have one CiviCRM Profile for the user account info -- name and email address fields. I have another profile called Member Detail that has address fields, phone fields, and date of birth. It is critical that I be able to add to that the list of groups as check boxes so that new members can associate themselves with one or more groups. I cannot figure out how to get this field into that profile.

Help on this will be highly appreciated!

I find it easiest to implement this as customer fields (check boxes) with smart groups set up.

So custom field: Friend of Pandas
The user can check/ uncheck that field in a profile.

Create a smart group with everyone that has friend of panda's checked.

That way the user isn't directly checking group memberships. (also allows you to manually force memberships if you so desire)

You CAN include a "field" in a Profile which displays all "Public" groups as checkboxes. Check out this example on our demo:
http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&id=26&gid=1

Configured from here (note the "Groups" profile field in the list of fields):
http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/civicrm/admin/uf/group/field?reset=1&action=browse&gid=1

Thanks for the replies. It turns out I had not seen the Public Groups field in the dropdown; I needed to scroll down to see it.

I appreciate the suggestion about using smart groups instead.
