question about profiles
November 10, 2008, 10:44:33 am
I want to be able to customize the way I enter and view data, whether it's in CiviContribute, CiviMember, contacts,...

- From what I have read, I can do that with profiles, right?

- If so, how would I set, for example, CiviContribute View to use Profile 213?

Many thanks!

So far we have only provided Profile support for core and custom Contact fields, and for adding selected contribution, membership and participant fields to online forms. You can't create or edit or view a contribution, or membership or participant record with a profile.

However, you can use the Custom Templates feature to make significant modifications to the forms / screens used for the above. If you need more info, best to post specific description of a form / view you want to change and the changes you want to make.

Thanks.  Let's take an example, say I want to change the GUI & field arrangement of the CivicMember view.  Which file would I look at to see how it's done?

I'm comfortable with PHP and css so that would be a great start.

Many thanks David!
