Reporting on Custom Profile Attributes

Hi

I bought this module some time ago; Now I am tryin g to use it for an Event Registration portal.

I will add custom user profile fields related to the Event and let users register. I want to setup custom report pages for different organizers of th event. For example, Food CoordinaTOR wants to know all the people who signed up for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner on a given day. Transportaion coordinator would like to know who needs local rides from airports. Childcare coordinator needs to know if anyone needs childcare, etc.

Here are my questions:

1. Can this module deal with custom profile attributes? or just with standard DNN attributes?

2. Can we have a selection criteria involving multiple fields? e.g., all male members coming from ILLINOIS who need ride on Sunday?

3. Can we have custom dependent drop down lists (cascading lists like standard DNN Country |>|>|> Region lists) [I know this is not directly related to your module's functionality; but I thought you can throw some light on this. I want to setup a parent list of USA Regions (North, East, Midwest, South, west, East, Midatlantic, etc.) and the corresponding States or key Cities as the child lists. If a user selects Midwest Region in the parent list, I want the child list be populated with States like IL, IA, MI, MN, etc.)
I can define these dependent lists under DNN |>|> Host |>|> Lists; but I don't know how to use these lists in custom profile. Please help me.

Thanks in advance!

Answers

  1. Yes it can update/display/search custom profile attributes
  2. No.  The current release supports only one criteria selection.   It will require customization to support selection criteria involving multiple fields.
  3. When you define the profile field, in the Property Name field, enter the List Name; for Data Type, select option List.  

I will do a quick blog on how to create custom profile attribute based on a list and post the link here.

You can find step by step instructions to create custom profile based on a list in my blog "Example of creating a custom field using List value"
