| Mar 18, 2017 at 23:28 | comment | added | Paul Andreassen | If I am incorrect in this, I would like to know how the custom datafields can be made more useful. Please accept my apologies for running this explanation over three comments, I was not aware of the 600 character limit. I will look into the dmaster.demo.civicrm.org. | |
| Mar 18, 2017 at 23:25 | comment | added | Paul Andreassen | All fine except that if I want to draw on that information to validate the membership of someone who wishes to register for one of our 'member only' events, I can't use it because it isn't designated for use by events, and apparently can't be. Its either one or the other. This really reduces the usefulness of custom data fields, in my opinion, unless there is a way of capturing this information so that it can be used anywhere in the system. I believe I can work around this by using the Joomla ACL to make registration availble only to designated groups and using CiviRules to manage the ACL. | |
| Mar 18, 2017 at 23:13 | comment | added | Paul Andreassen | I think I have figured out what the problem is. I have created some custom fields to contain data that we keep about our members. One of these is our unique 'Club Member Number'. This is simply a 9 digit number with 4 digits for year, 2 digits for month and 3 digits for a sequence number. It tells us the year and month the member joined and the sequence portion simply serves to ensure they are always unique. We have been using this sytem for 14 years. In order to be able to associate this with our members, I created the custom data field and indicated it was to be used for memberships. All fin | |

| Mar 17, 2017 at 17:42 | comment | added | Paul Andreassen | As I indicated it isn't part of a profile, its the entire profile. I want to collect custom data fields from my members when the register for events that I create. To that end I have created a profile containing those fields. When I enable online registration for the event, the profiles drop-down list does not include the profile that I created. Finally, I do not have a demo site, I have a site that I am developing in a sub-domain. It will be transferred to my production site when I get it working. | |
