Multiple value custom fieldsets
January 21, 2013, 06:47:27 pm
I'm looking to collect some information about children from users when they sign up for a membership.

Is there any way to configure this so users can click "Add more" to fill out those same fields for a second (or third, etc) child.  I'm looking for something like the "multiple value" setting for Drupal fields (though I'm running this instance of civicrm on Wordpress).

Any suggestions highly appreciated.

As far as I know even though CiviCRM does support multiple custom filed sets, these are not available through CiviCRM profiles.

In Drupal you could use CiviCRM Webform module. The first contact would be the adult and extra contacts would be children. But you would have to present a form that has a fixed number of contacts on it rather than the "unlimited" options on Drupal fields.

I don't think there is a solution for Wordpress. but I'm no expert on that.

Hope this helps

Note that in 4.3, there is support for multiple custom field sets in profile

Might be good if folks can start testing this out on the sandbox server
