related fields in profile
April 08, 2009, 01:12:52 pm
I'm trying to set up a searchable directory of organizations, for which the detail information will display the organization's details AND the name of the leader (or leaders) of the organization. Leaders are in database as contacts and there is a relationship (in this case church<->rector) is set up between them. Is there a way to do this, or does the limitation against showing related data still hold (using version 2.1.4)?

monicab :
You can use the Advanced Search with Search Views set as the profile(you need to check Used For with Search Results checked ) that you want and in the Relationship pane you may wanna specify the Relationship Type or the desired search criteria.

but the limitation of exposing relationship data (or any n->1 data) in CiviCRM profiles is still present

If this is important to you, please consider a code contribution and/or a code sponsorship

thanx

You may try Views2 integration, which will not be searchable, but will be nice and sortable. Relationships are present there.

I have the same problem...

Let me sumarize my questions, based on what I learned here...

1. Curently there is no way to expose relationship data, or any 1->n custom data through profile to the fronend ?
2. View2 itegration that was mentioned here works only for Drupal, are there any such modules for Joomla that you are aware of ?
3. If it would take me to write some custom code to expose the desired data to the frontend - what is the simplest way to do this (for temporary solution)? And what is the most proper way to do it (so it might become the part of civiCRM in the future). I'm not asking for a detailed solution but rather a general tips on how to start.

Thanks,
Tomek
