Support activities

[hoegrammer]

I want to create a remote newsletter signup form and it involves creating a Consent Update activity (because of how the site is set up for GDPR).

But when I add activity fields to the profile, they don't appear on the remote site.

I would like to add this functionality. I would be grateful for any info that might help me do this.

I have just seen that when I added the activity field and tried to display the form, this appeared in watchdog (in Civi):

Notice: Undefined index: comms_opt_ins_20180212183400 in _civicrm_api3_buildprofile_submitfields() (line 577 of /var/www/sites/all/modules/civicrm/api/v3/Profile.php).

The "Comms Opt-Ins" field is a custom field on the Consent Update activity type. The machine name of the field is comms_opt_in_90. So I am wondering where the string "comms_opt_ins_20180212183400" came from?

I use/wrote this extension in order to support activity fields: https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/activityprofile

CiviCRM core does not normally allow add profile fields in profiles, so the extension provides a few workarounds.

Disclaimer: the extension does a fair amount of duct-tape for my own needs. I don't know if many people use it.

You can see it in action here: https://civicrm.org/register-a-site
