Profile Related Custom Field Question...
June 26, 2007, 09:28:30 pm
Hi,

So, I want to allow users to add a non-predetermined number of fields (or sets of fields) to their profile for specific information.


So, for example, we want our members to list their entire educational history since college. Some people will only have college, but some people may have 1 or more graduate schools to include also. For each educational entry, there needs to be three sub-fields: college, year, and degree. I want the use to be able to click on some type of "add another degree" button that will allow the user to enter more degree information.

Another similar example would include being able to list where a user has worked in the past. The user needs to be able to add an unlimited number of jobs (including company, location, and years) to their profile.

So, does anyone know how to do this? I've been searching documentation and haven't found anything.

Thanks.

 - Cyrus

This is currently not possible with CiviCRM custom data and/or profile fields. We do not support multiple values for custom fields.

I suspect this will change when we upgrade and redesign custom fields in 2.x
