Validate Profile on HTML Snippet
February 12, 2012, 08:40:00 pm
I'm using an HTML snippet to display a CiviCRM profile on a non-civicrm page.

I would like to be able to validate the profile (as is already done by CiviCRM), but without it transfering to a CiviCRM page if there are validation errors. Instead, I would like to display those errors on the original non-civicrm page with the civi HTML snippet.

How would I do this? I'm playing around with the validation hook right now, but that just seems to help me do more validation as opposed to reloading the non-civicrm page with validation errors shown.

Thanks

Donald Lobo

I think u'll need to use your own form layer / validation if you want to control the layout of the page.

Ok, that is what I was thinking. Just thought I would check.

Which bits of the snippet did you have to take out to stop it redirecting back to the Civi profile page?

I didn't end up doing this. I instead creating custom templates for the profile pages along with some custom CSS to achieve the same look that I was going for, but still within the Civi profile page.
