Update contact data though profiles not working
January 23, 2011, 05:55:36 am
What I need :

=> My users should update part of their contact custom fields

What is wrong :
=> Form (civicrm/profile/create?reset=1&gid=N) and HTML snippet seem to work (success message) but records are not modified

How to check my non working sample :

- goto to drupal.demo.civicrm.org
- I have tried today to set a profile names "toto" ID = 10 on CIVI demo site
- I have set "Job Title" field to be modified
=> /civicrm/admin/uf/group?reset=1&action=browse

- I go to the update page and save
=> /civicrm/profile/create?reset=1&gid=10

- I got to contact record and nothing has been modified ...

PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG ?

Regards,
Fabrice

Use:

/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=10

This will edit the current users record.

U can also send in another contact id if the person has "edit" permissions on that contact

Thank you, it works !

Anyway I have applied your URL to my local CIVICRM using exactly the same profile :
/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=39

But it shows a listing instead of a form : "Edit Search Criteria", folowed by user list

Could you tell me what is the difference between demo CIVI and my local CIVI ?

grrrr... ok, I found it ...

/index.php?q=/civicrm/profile/edit&reset=1&gid=39

instead of

/index.php?q=/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=39

Anyway, something not working indeed
=> everything works fine for individual fields (name, birthday) but no custom data field appear in the form (card number, size, ect).

Any idea ?
