Creating a new activity via a profile
August 14, 2011, 05:10:25 pm
when I create a profile with both individual fields ( first name and last name) and activity fields (such as date, subject, etc )  I am unable to use the profile as a stand-alone profile form.

How is this feature meant to be used?   What I would like to happen:  Every time some one files out the profile,  a new activity record is created, linked to the person that filled out the form.

The create mode vi profile is not supported as yet. Currently edit/view mode is supported (thanx to the ARMS project which sponsored this functionality)

If your org / client would like to contribute code and or sponsor this feature that would be great. I suspect its a 20-40 hour project

How is the existing functionality mean to be used?

I tried using the profile in "edit" mode, but got the error message:
"This activity cannot be edited or viewed via this profile. "

q=civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=PROFILE_ID&id=CONTACT_ID&aid=ACTIVITY_ID

the profile needs to match the activity type of ACTIVITY_ID
