Hello,

I am testing out civicrm for a central alumni organization that has other alumni organizations as its members (contact type = Organization). There are a fixed number of such member organizations.

Individual alumni (contact type Individuals) are allowed to register on the site. I have created a new relationship for Individuals Alumnus of and Parent Association of

My use case is: at the time of registration an individual enters his personal details and chooses his alumni organization from an auto complete drop down.

Is this possible and how?

Thanks.

sorry - just saw the topic title and realised that you are wanting to create drupal user at same time.
while this is also possible via the route i suggested but it gets more complicated (see blog if you want to know more about that route - https://civicrm.org/blogs/petednz/creating-drupal-users-made-easy-single-or-multiple-contacts-civi-imports-and-webforms)

i was thinking you may be able to do this via Profiles now anyhow, using a Custom Field of type Contact Reference - and limiting it to a Group of your Alumni Orgs - but afaik that can't create the relationship without use of a post process hook or some other magic.

yes that is a good point, and can be a workaround, but it uses the employee/employer relationship - so if you are happy to repurpose that, then it is the simplest approach

I thought about using the Current employer field and Employee/Employer relationship.

However what will it take to have a custom field "Alumnus of" and then use the Relationship (I have created) Alumnus of and Parent Association of

How do I create a custom field that will be used for an Individual and use the Relationship I have created?

Thanks

Thank You @sushant

I thought linking an Individual and Organization at user registration would be much more straightforward.

Did you check your permissions?

thanks for posting back

maybe the 'custom all data' was tripping up here too http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,31625
