(Drupal) Individuals cannot edit profile specific for their subcontact type
July 22, 2012, 04:24:56 pm
Using Drupal 7, Civi 4.1

I have an Individual subcontact type named "Officer."  I have a custom data set (that is used for the Officer subcontact type only) named "Officer Details" which contains a Contact Reference field that is labeled "Employer."  Finally, I have a profile "Officer Profile" which contains the"Employer" custom data field.

The problem is that when a Drupal user whose contact subtype is Officer attempts to edit their Officer Profile, instead of being presented with the Employer autocomplete field, this warning appears: "This profile is configured for contact type 'Officer'. It cannot be used to edit contacts of other types. Which doesnt make sense because the user IS a subcontact type of Officer.

Please advise!

is this the latest version of civi? can u check if this also happens on our demo server.

This was a bug in earlier versions of 4.1. Not sure if it was fixed in time for 4.1.5 or if the fix was added to 4.2

Hey lobo thanks for the reply

1) Demo site - I am able to get this to work on demo, however a different issue arises at this point (on the demo site).  I placed the user into the Officer subcontact type, and the auto select reference works on the profile; but the profile also appears when the user account is NOT in the Officer subcontact type.  In other words if i was to change the contact subtype to something different than Officer, the profile for the officer subcontact type still appears as a tab on the drupal user account edit page.

2) I will find out and report back our current version of civi.  It seems our dev server is down (of course lol).  Lets say I need to upgrade to 4.1.5.  Are there specific instructions for upgrading from 4.1.x to 4.1.y?  I have found the outdated 3.4 docs, but cant seem to locate 4.x instructions

Thanks!!!

1. yes, drupal integration does not have support for "contact subtypes" as yet. Would help if you can write the needed code and/or sponsor a developer to do so. I suspect its a 5-10 hour project

2. Please check the wiki links that are attached to the blog post announcing the release

Im happy to report upgrading to 4.1.5 solved our issues. Also, turns out a simple workaround for the subtype specific profiles both appearing as tab links on user pages issue is to use context module to set a body class based on user role and then simply hide the appropriate tabs using css**.  Perhaps there is a better way but this gets the job done.  Thanks!


**Each individual resides in a particular group based on their subtype, and as such are also granted a drupal role by using the Drupal  group roles sync module.  The role is then set as a body class by context (create one context per role using User role as condition and Theme HTML as reaction)
