Custom join forms for diff types?

I'd like to create custom membership types, for instance:

  • Dean
  • Assistant Deans
  • Department Director
  • Assistant Directors
  • Academic Department Chair

When a user joins, they would be able to select a "Membership Type" from a list. Depending on the type selected, I'd like to present different sets of fields.

There would be common fields (i.e. those currently in profile) but a new section would present fields specific to that memeberhip "type".

For instance,a "Dean" would see fields like "School:"...

...while a "Department Director" would see fields like "Department:"

Any way to do this without custom coding?

Hi bearclaws,

I am also trying to figure this out.  I believe that Dolphin by default uses an "upgrade" system to moving users through the system...  Very similar to the way they move people through their Unity/Contribritor-Expert system.  If you have Dolphin installed, go into the Admin section and under "Settings" select "Membership Levels" and uncheck "Site is running in free mode."

Save the changes and log into the Member's area as a Member.  Click "My Account" and you will see "Click here to upgrade".

This is as far as I have gotten so far.  I would alos like to be able to sign people up directly to the site to a particular level...  I am a LAMP developer, so custom writing the code won't be too difficult to me, but I believe everyone has to signup for free and upgrade fromt there.

Thanks.

Adam

Thanks for the info. I've tested various configurations but think I'll have to write some custom code to get this to work like I want it to work. I'm thinking that I can add ALL the fields to the "join" profile and then only show certain ones depending on which type the user selects. The same "filtering" would apply in the user's profile. That shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

Did you get this working?  If so I'm interested in your mod or fix.

Thanks for your time.

The software doesn't do this.   We have been begging for it for years.  Boonex has indicated that membership type will be an option for the join form in D7.1.

Hello; there is mod by AntonLV in the market place, does exactly what you want or pretty close. You can have multiple Profile Types and each profile has its own fields associated with it.

For instance a Doctor would view and fill different fields as opposed to a nurse etc.

Is that what you want.

The mod is called Profile Splitter.

I was referring just to having different membership levels on the join page, and to be able to pay for a membership from there.    We were hoping that this would have gotten into D7 when it launched.
