Requirement of having HIDDEN TEXT BOX fields on the Profile Pages
December 09, 2010, 09:14:22 pm
All,

Is there a way of having HIDDEN TEXT BOX fields on the Profile Pages in CiviCRM?
We have a requirement to do so and I'm not finding any means to do so.

Please help.

Warm Regards,
Ashwani Dher

By implementing hook_civicrm_buildForm,  you can easily add hidden field. (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmbuildForm)

eg:
urhookname_civicrm_buildForm( $formName, &$form ) {
  // only for profile form
  if ( $formName == 'CRM_Profile_Form_Edit' ) {
         // add hidden element for every profile form with name as 'custom_element_name' and value as 'element_value'
        $form->addElement('hidden', 'custom_element_name',   'element_value' );
    }
}

Hope this will help you.

Rajan

Rajan,

Thank-you again.

Finally I was able to add a Hidden Field.

Now I need some more help, how can I add a text heading to a Custom Field.
Like here:- http://dev.opendatacenteralliance.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&view=Profiles&Itemid=57

I have added a custom radio button field named 'Opt-in to newsletter' here and want to add a Text heading just above this field below the 'Reason for Joining' textarea. I have even tried 'Field Pre Help' option within the 'Custom Fields' settings in the Admin but that is not working for me.

Please help.

Warm Regards,
Ashwani Dher

ashwani,

If 'Field Pre Help' and 'Field Post Help' is not sufficient for your requirement, u need to modify template files for that profile (templates/CRM/Profile/Form/Dynamic.tpl) accordingly, using civicrm's custom templates feature <base url>civicrm/admin/setting/path&reset=1.
You may take help of the documentation http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/Customize+Built-in,+Profile,+Contribution+and+Event+Registration+Screens
