Webform to Edit User's Household
September 09, 2013, 01:09:00 pm
Hopefully Coleman will be along and can answer or anyone else who knows.

How do I attach a webform to the My Account page as a tab (like a civicrm profile appears on the My Account page) so that the user can edit their Household info?

Is there any certain setting I need to set in Webformcivi to make it pull the Household info for the user?

I don't know - does searching drupal forums turn up anything?

I would set up my webform like so:
  • Contact 1: current user - no need to expose any fields for this contact if you don't want to, just need the "existing contact" field
  • Contact 2: household. Enable "exisitng contact" field and set it to be hidden - use it to autopopulate based on relationship with contact 1 (match both household member AND head of household)
  • Also set the webform to create the relationship btw contact 2 and contact 1 - you could expose this if you want to give them a choice btw "head" and "member" of household.
  • Also set up shared address btw contact 1 & 2
Are you also wanting to enter household members?

No just allow the user to edit the Household address from their My Account page.

I followed your directions but for some reason it won't pull in the household info. It will create the household and do the link but it won't show the household info and allow edit.

And you did set the household "existing contact" to autofill based on relationshiop to contact 1?
If so, it may be a permission problem. Make sure the relationship created by the webform is permissioned, and in order to take advantage of that, you'll need to install this:

I installed the extension and that fixed it.

I created a View that rendered the webform entity as a menu tab. It's putting the tab on the Edit user from the My Account page but it's overriding the layout.  See the attached images.

User_edit: is the screenshot of the User Edit Screen
my_details: is a profile from Civi for the View Edit User
my_household: is the webform
view is the screenshot of the view page that renders the my_household to the User Edit as a tab.

I'm not sure why it's removing the My Account and My Details links.

Using views is a clever solution, and it looks like it's working fine for you - the only thing missing is that it's not rendering the tabs, which is slightly puzzling but you could "fix" it by putting the markup for the tabs in the view header.

Well if nothing else you could use the php filter
<?php global $user; print $user->uid; ?>

Thank you both, this has been very helpful to me.  One thing that wasn't clear at first was how to set the household (contact 2) to be autopopulated from the current user (contact 1).

This setting is not in the civicrm tab, you have to go back to webform, and edit the contact 2 "existing contact" field.

Switch the Form Widget from Autocomplete to Static, and then set "Default contact from" to "relationship to contact 1", then you can choose whether to match on household head or membership.

You will also have to edit the existing contact field for contact 1 and set the default contact from to current user.

Yea, the fact that you have to leave the CiviCRM tab to configure an Existing Contact field is not the greatest UX.
In version 4 of this module I've added a little more help text to hopefully explain it a bit better.

Re: Webform to Edit User's Household

I am confused about permissions.  For my site, anyone should be allowed to edit their own address or their house.  Since this form, when configured as in this thread, only exposes that info to users, is it safe to turn off enforce permissions?

If that's not safe, how do I configure permissions in Civi to work for this?

Well technically the household is not the same contact as the user, so you need to tell Civi that they have permission to edit that household contact. My recommendation is to create permissioned relationships between households and their members and install this extension:
http://civicrm.org/extensions/relationship-permissions-acls
It is NOT safe to turn off "enforce permissions" - that would give any user the ability to view/edit any household in the database.
