Continuing Education Credits (Units)
March 30, 2012, 08:17:50 am
Hello everyboby. This is my first topic on this forum.  ;D
I'm working on a Italian Professional Association's website.
I decide to use Joomla (2.5.3) and CiviCRM (4.1).
Everything is ok, but now I'm looking for a plugin (or something similar) to add a Continuing Education Credits Value to each event for each participants.

I find this page ( wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=47710507)  but i don't if I can use it.

Could you help me?

Thanks in advanced

Antonio

I tried to understand the SQL code in that page, but (i'm very ignorant) I think it refers to joomla 1.5.

Any idea to solve my problem about credits?  ???

Why not add a participant level custom data field called "CE credits" and populate it with the number: 1, 10, 4.5, etc?  I take this approach with volunteer hours.  I even have a report that 'adds up' the hours in a date range.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

Thanks Stoob for the advice.
I'm trying to add a participant level custom data field, but I can't find anything in the admin menu:  can I do this via CiviCRM settings or should I put my hands in the database?


Thx in advanced

In Civi 4.1, you can add the custom data fields by navigating to "Administer ->Custom Data and Screens -> Custom Fields" then click "Add a Set of Custom Fields."

A more detailed description of the screens is here:

Hello totolabs, stoob & totten,

I work with several professional organizations as well and it seems that all of them have some sort of continuing education requirement. My goal is to standardize the platform for their membership management (onto civiCRM) and I am looking for a solution for their memberships to track their continuing professional development credits.

I see Stoob has suggested a custom field of CPD Credits. Will that allow for reporting by the year and the ability for members to input a wide number of activities under an array of categories?

This subject came up under a LinkedIn civiCRM discussion and several of us are pursuing a solution. I have outlined the specifics in a blog posting on the wiki (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=76677197) and am actively working on a solution. I'm very interested in hearing any feedback on the subject, especially if I am heading in the wrong direction.

Cheers,
Andrew
