CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,
Context :
I use CiviCRM 2.2.0 in Drupal 6.13.
The website is devoted to a belgian non-profit association.
We organise a karting race and a touristic rally to collect funds.

What works
I created an event, some profiles, etc.. People are actually registering themselves, receive a confirmation email with all price and payment information.
I receive a copy of all these email.
Each contact is automatically added to a group named "karting drivers 2009"

Waht I do not succeed to setup
In the driver's profile I added a field named "Name of your Team".
This can accept only one value for each contact.
So, if someone try to subscribe for 2 teams (Myteam 1, MyTeam 2, and maybe more), I receive two subcriptions by email, but only the latest "Name of your team" is associated to him as a contact when I check his personnal informations.

What i hope ?
I try to set up this Field to be a group to create during registration to the event. This group will be automatically added to a "karting teams 2009" predefined group, and the subscriber has to be automatically add to it.

Actually I have to do this manually at each subscription, but I want it to be automated, if possible.

Does someone has a solution ?

What I dream of
After that it would so nice to be possible to set up a list of teams that are registered to the event. The list of registered people are focused on contacts, not on groups. Do you know if there is a solution to setup this ?
I know quite well PHP and MYSQL so do some hacking based on quite explanaitions should'nt be a problem if necessary.

Thanks a lot in advence.

Thanks lobo.

To keep it simple i want to try to have only one event subscription form to fill.

As eileen told me on your irc channel, i tryed with "employee of " relation. This works fine but then i wanted to personnalise it, i creted a new relation between indivuduals and organisations, but this does not appear as a possible field in profile. The only relation selectable is 'employee of'.

Question:
Why does only "employee of' is selectable as a profile field ?
How does can i do to set up my relation to be selectable in profiles ?

Thanks.
Edit: just to argument, i switched my need from groups to relation, because i discovered that relations can be set regarding to dates. So a contact will be still add to the "driver" group, but in relations, his relations with teams can be setted form special date interval, witch is for us very adapted.

Edit2: maybe i should post this as new post, with a more explicit title, as my question as changed ?
