CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

My goal is to create a "My account" page with tabs that will display basic drupal user fields and some CiviCRM fields.  I know this question has been asked many times, but most of the answers are geared toward developers, which I am not quite there yet 

Anyway, I've followed the instructions on giving my Drupal db user the 'select' right on my CiviCRM db, and I've added the table prefixes into the 'settings.php' file.  I read some post recommending to use Advanced Profile Kit / Views combination, so I installed both modules but I am too dumb to use it.

I go to "Views" and "Add" to add a new view.  I give it a view name, type "Advanced Profile Kit" on the View tag textbox, then I select "CiviCRM Contacts" as the View type.  Under the "default" tab (listed on the left panel), I added a "Relationships" with "CiviCRM Contacts: Drupal ID," then I added some CiviCRM fields, like phone numbers, etc., from those drop down menus.

I looked at other Advanced Profile Kit views, and I saw that they have a "page" tab on the left panel as well, so I also added a "page," and under the page settings, I added a path of "user/%/user_information" and a menu of "Tab: Contacts"

I thought everything is fine.  But when I save the view and go to the "My Account" page, I see a my new tab (woohoo~), but that tab basically lists all the phone numbers from my entire CiviCRM database... 

Do you know what steps I missed?  Or am I doing completely wrong?  Thanks for bearing with me!

Did the trick for me!  I did notice that I needed to create the custom fields under contacts. If I did it under Members, I couldn't see them in Drupal Views.
