Field Pre Help Not Showing in Profile
December 27, 2010, 01:24:08 pm
I have created a set of custom data fields that I am putting into a profile for an event. I put notes into the Field Pre Help of two of the custom fields that act as section separators for the registration form and it looks great when I preview the field. The Field Pre Help does not show up when I place the field in a profile. I tested this on the demo site with the same results. Is this the expected behavior?

I do need this to be Field Pre Help because it displays before the first field in a section.

Thanks for your help,
Q

yes, this is expected behavior

profile fields have different help fields than custom data and currently only support one post help field (there is an issue to support pre-help also).On initial creation, we copy the help from the custom field to the profile field via javascript

IMO, Currently we do allow only single help for profile fields. ( 'Field Help' text which is post help text )
when we display custom data field with the help of profile we could get access to single help text.

It would be nice addition to have both pre as well as post help for profile fields also.
Also required database schema / structure is already present, only need to do some php / template codding.

So would be great if you contribute the code  :) 

thanks

If the schema is already in place to support this, how many hours do you think it would take to get the relevant template generation code and profile editing forms fixed up to support it? It is definitely something I would be willing to tackle.

You should check http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-6004, it added a pre help ability for profile. It will be part of 3.4 release.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was only the schema change, not the entire feature set that was going to be in 3.4.
