Add member to groups by submit the profile form at frontend
March 28, 2009, 09:48:23 am
The document show how to add member to group in "Manager Groups". But have no instruction about how to add member to groups by submit the profile form.

Lets say, I made 3 groups name "Education", "Environment" and "Social Justice"

Then I make a profile form with a custom field type checkbox. The options are "Education", "Environment" and "Social Justice".

What I want to do is when the member check the options and submit the form. Then that member will add to the corresponding groups.

Can Civicrm capable to make it or need some coding to do?

The document I refer is http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Regular+Groups

Which is inside CiviCRM 2.2 Documentation.

I just want to know is it possible to let member add themselves to the groups by submit the profile form at the frontend.

If I understand you correctly then yes it is possible.

Add the groups field to your profile with the visibility of public user pages.  Once you do, when people visit your profile at a URL like: <site root>/civicrm/profile/create?reset=1&gid=X, they will see all of your CiviCRM groups that have the visibility of public user pages. They can then add themselves to those groups if they so choose.  Here's an example: http://demo.dharmatech.org/programs The checkboxes are CiviCRM groups.

To configure a group's visibility settings, go under under manage groups.

hope this helps

I made a Custom Data Group which select "Used For Groups" at the dropdown menu.

I think it is the function what I need and preapre to add this to the profile.

But when I try to add profile field, there's no "Groups" in Field name dropdown menu selection.

There're only "Contacts", "Individual", "Household" and "Organization".

At the demo site http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/administrator/ there're 3 more selection in Field name dropdown menu.

Can "Groups" also be 1 of the selection in Profile Field name too ?

to add the groups field to your profile, you need to select "contacts" under field name. Then groups will appear in the next drop down.

You don't need to create a custom data group to add groups to a profile. It's confusing but they're separate.

hope this helps

It's probably because you haven't enabled those components yet.

You'll have to go under administer civicrm>>global settings>>enable components. Enable CiviContribute, CiviMember, and CiviEvent. Now those new options will appear when adding a field to a profile.

Yea- you right. I disable some of the component  ;D

I submit the form at the frontend and received the Subscription Confirmation Request email.
I select 2 groups so I received 2 email.
Can I merge them to 1 email ? Then the user just need to click once to confirm all the selected group.

Can I just disable the Subscription Confirmation Request email ?

If my member select 10 groups, 10 confirmation email send. That's ridiculous.
