user profile fields based on membership types
March 01, 2008, 10:06:35 pm
Hi, not sure if this is documented in the faqs or elsewhere, I looked through the Documentation before posting. I have a drupal website with 4 different types of profiles:

1. Dwarf
2. Giant
3. Mermaid
4. Wizard

For each type, the attributes are different. For example, for a Wizard I'd like to specify spells, so when a person selects type as Wizard, the registration form presents them with fields where he/she can fill in spell types.

Similarly if a user wants to sign up as a giant, the registration form presents him/her with giant attributes.

I also want these profiles to be searchable, sortable etc.

First, my question is, is civicrm an overkill for this functionality? If not, how do I go about implementing thi. Thanks so much for your help.

drupal does not allow multiple registration pages by default. You'll need to install another module that does it. you might want to search the drupal forums for this. (i dont remember the name of that module(s) currently)

I'm not sure how that module works, so i suspect there might not be very good civicrm integration.

You can create different profiles for the 4 different groups and the search/sort etc should work quite nicely. However i suspect your bigger problem is the mlultiple registration page

thanks, so does this mean i don't need civicrm? When you say search/sort will work, did you mean through civicrm or through that extra module that I should look for?

depends on what the multiple reg module does and how it potentially integrates with civicrm etc. also depends on how complex your contact data needs are. You might want to focus on solving one thing at a time :)

Sounds good, I think this is a similar discussion: http://groups.drupal.org/node/5291

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your help.
