CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Thanks for reading.  When we use a field in a Profile we can add some Field Help.  I'd like to display this field help on the "view" page of a profile.  However, when I look at the _customdir_/CRM/Profile/Page/View.tpl file I don't see where the fields are pulled from the database.

Any suggestions?  Am I in the wrong file?  I am using 2.0.5. (can't upgrade sorry) and this is all I see on View.tpl

{foreach from=$profileGroups item=group}
    <h2>{$group.title}</h2>
    {$group.content}
{/foreach}
<div class="action-link">
    <a href="{$listingURL}">&raquo; {ts}Back to Listings{/ts}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    {if $mapURL}
    <a href="{$mapURL}">&raquo; {ts}Map Primary Address{/ts}</a>
    {/if}

</div>


Thanks for the response.  But I don't understand enough of what is going on in Dynamic.php to know what to change.  Also I am wondering, if I hack this PHP file, won't it just get overwritten if/when I upgrade CiviCRM?

Here is the file, if you could point out what I need to do please enlighten me

Thank you much for the help.  Although I've been doing PHP/MySQL for about 7 years, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean I should do with the .tpl file - I guess I just don't "get it" - I'm SORRY!

After making the changes in the .php file you recommend
I tried this:
{foreach from=$fields item=value key=name}
  <tr><td class="label">{$name}</td><td class="view-value">{$value}</td></tr>
{/foreach}

which copies this:
{foreach from=$row item=value key=name}
  <tr><td class="label">{$name}</td><td class="view-value">{$value}</td></tr>
{/foreach}
but that doesn't do anything but display "Array" on the page like this: http://rivernetwork.org/rn/civicrm/profile/view?reset=1&id=38575&gid=7

I tried a bunch of other experiments by trial and error for about 1 hour, banging my head against the wall -- so don't think that I'm lazy please.  Maybe I'm just stupid.  How can I get the "help" field on the page on there?  How do I edit Dynamic.tpl file?

Thanks for posting that -- I was way off!

Anyhow I will respond to a few help requests in the coming weeks, where I am qualified to do so, thanks again.
