Civi 4.1.0
Drupal 7.14
I'm a relative Civi newbie.

Trying to use the /user/register page in Drupal to create a sub-contact type ('student') in Civi. I have set up the profile so that it creates a contact as a student and tested it as a standalone profile. However, when I add this to the Drupal user register form the contact is created as an Individual rather than as the subcontact type student.

Strangely, when I installed modal forms Drupal module (which opens the registration page in a shadowbox above whatever page the user is currently on) and registered a new user the profile worked correctly and created the sub-contact student. However, there was a separate issue with modal forms conflicting somehow with the profile and often just giving a spinning wheel so have had to turn that off!

Any help much appreciated. Thanks

We have had success with this, thanks lobo.  Is there anyway to limit the selectable subcontact type options to the public?  For example we have subcontact types A-D in the system, but we only want to allow the public to choose A or B type, how can this be achieved?  I looked into jquery but without classes or ids in the select list Im not sure how to approach this...

Thanks!

Great thanks Lobo!
