CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi
I have an application where we have imported all the schools as organisation contacts and are creating Principal and Student contacts.  I am creating a relationship between a school principal and students. I want the principal to be able to view the complete student profile - including custom data, only for his own students. Using the 'My Contact Dashboard' feature the principal can see the list of his students but can only view the basic contact information, not all the custom data. Is there a way to do this? I was hoping the the relationship feature could be a way of restricting each principal to only see his own students, and hopefully to display this for the principal from Joomla Front End. I am using CiviCRM 4.4.5 and Joomla 3.3.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks,
I've downloaded that and I'm trying it now, but so far I haven't got it doing what I need. What I want is the principal of a school to be able to log into Joomla front end, and see a list of his own student/participants, and be able to click and view their complete profiles, including custom data. Can you point me to any more detailed instructions on how to use this extension?

Best regards,
Steve

only what i suggested above unfortunately

might help if you flesh out what did/didn't work with the extension - it certainly sounds like a good fit for your use case - perhaps with some tweaks

but yes someone else might come along with a better suggestion

Hi again,
I'm not sure how I did it,  but it appears that I have done something that has gotten your extension to work properly in civicrm Joomla back end. However, our customer wants it to work in the front end of the site. I'd still appreciate any advice or tips on setting this up. If I can get what I am seeing in the back end to work in the front, that would be brilliant!
Thanks
Steve

Steve -

I have done something similar ( except it was parents who needed to see/edit their children) in the self-service area.

What I suggest:
1) Instruct the principal to login, then click the link http://mygroup.org/civicrm/user   (This is the URL under Drupal for the "User Dashboard". I created a shortcut to this link on my front-end website that is only visible to logged in users)

2) Scroll down to the bottom of the "user dashboard", there they will see a section labeled "Your Contacts / Organizations"

3) There will be links to view/edit any other contact that the user has a permissioned relationship with. 

You many want to customize the URLS on that page to point to specific custom profiles, which include any fields ( including custom fields) that you want the principle to be able to view  or edit.
