CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Sorry - didn't/don't mean to be insensitive to the Wordpress users - but truth is running a Drupal/CiviCRM does give you so many more options to add functionality to your site.

I think the way to go would be to basically replicate how Webform CiviCRM is doing it. This module uses a pile of existing CiviCRM functionality/APIs in a very clever order/logic. And that's why it extends CiviCRM the way it does. All bits you need for a true Family Membership in CiviCRM already exist. They are all native to CiviCRM.

Key is that you need to be able to put many profiles (and relationships) on a single Contribution page (like YouthRegistration extension for 4.3.x lets you put many profiles on an Event Registration page).

Work being done on 4.5 for soft credits opens up the possibility of having a more flexible soft credit form to collect a second person / other entity's data

There is still a missing hook or other link to make it possible to add the relationships / inherit memberships - that is still currently locked against one contact type - Organizations - but jmdezigns - couldn't you model your groups as organisations to leverage that build-in functionality

Hi rjm,

At the risk of sounding like a Christmas recipe:

Drupal 7
CiviCRM 4.4.1
Webform CiviCRM 7-x.-4.2
and patch:
https://drupal.org/node/2140547
(if you'd like Membership by relation to filter down automatically)

Webform CiviCRM - https://drupal.org/project/webform_civicrm - requires:
Webform module 4.x from: https://drupal.org/project/webform
+ Libraries
+ Options element

Most of this (documentation for 3.x) still works well:
https://drupal.org/node/1615380

I've attached three screenshots to help you see what things will start to look like:
ex1.png: end result: a webform embedded in site's theme - Membership Type can be selected and this form features 6 sections (5 profiles) on this one page: Main Contact; Contact Information; Spouse; Child 1; Child 2 and Child 3
ex2.png: under the CiviCRM tab: once you Enable CiviCRM Processing and select your number of Contacts - existing fields (default CiviCRM + custom ones!) from your CiviCRM side will become available for you to select.
ex3.png: under the Webform tab. Re-arrange if you please - add Markup with Webform.

I've used a little css for this layout - but I've heard Webform CiviCRM works great with Webform Layout as well - haven't had a chance to try that yet. Webform Conditional Fields - now you can play hide and seek with your fields: only show these if certain others have been selected, etc.

Note: if you'd like to do a payment you need an integrated processor, like e.g. PayPal pro (any integrated one will do - just not one that uses a payment page). 

Hope that helps you to get started! Happy holidays!

@KarenG,

Thanks so much for the Christmas recipe  .

I plan on trying it out soon.

It looks like the patch you mentioned for webform_civicrm-7.x-4.2  has been incorporated for webform_civicrm-7.x-4.3 which is the most recent stable version. So the patch can be removed from the recipe and webform_civicrm-7.x-4.2 swapped for webform_civicrm-7.x-4.3.

It might be a month or two before I get a chance to do this, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Is this functionality available as an extension? If not, would be very cool if you can put that together and post on the extensions directory.
