Make field view only after profile created?
April 25, 2011, 05:06:21 pm
I am using a Custom profile to submit as a "member application form" and I am wanting the email address of my members to be used as their username for login. With this being the case I want once they fill out the membership form that in their "My Account" the Email field is only viewable and not editable. Is this possible?

Currently I get the error that a "View only field can not be required". Is there a way around this?

You can use a hook for the "My Account" page and freeze the email field in the form there.

So I would use "hook_civicrm_customFieldOptions" and simply state that after the email is submitted make it a read only field on the "My Account" page? Sorry I am new to CiviCRM and this would be the first "hook" I have had to use.

You would use

hook_civicrm_buildForm

and if u detect its the my account page (easiest way might be to check the value of $_GET['q']) then you can just freeze the email field using code similar to here:

http://svn.civicrm.org/sfschool/branches/v3.2/drupal/sfschool/sfschool.module (search for freeze)
