CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello there,

   I'm a new user of CiviCRM and I'm having a bit of trouble with a getting a CiviContribute page to accept a user defined field. Forgive me if I'm not using the correct terminology or if this is a problem solved elsewhere, I've had little luck in tracking down what I'm doing wrong (I'm certain it's a mistake on my part).
   
   Under the "Include Profiles" section of the configuration for my contribution page I have included the profile (lets call it Additional Info) that contains my custom field to be used as the "top of page" profile.
   
   My "Additional Info" profile contains the custom field and has been set up to have visibility for public user pages, is set to active, and has been set to be required.
   
   The custom field itself is in a group set to active, has been configured to be used for all contact types, and is set to be inline. The field in the group is alphanumeric, text, required and active.
   
   With all of these settings, the custom field only appears on the donation page when the user viewing the donation page is a logged in user. I.e. it's there when I view the donation page while I'm logged into my administrator account, but when I view it as a guest that would be contributing, the field is missing.
   
   Any help is greatly appreciated! Please let me know if I can provide additional information to track the problem down.
   
   I am using CiviCRM 2.1.4 on Drupal 6.
   
Thank you,

   - Daniel

hi Daniel,

To access custom data with profile anonymous user has to have "profile listings and forms" and "access all custom data" permissions.
