I m experienced Drupal user. Also used WordPress for long time and used CPT & CVPro several times. I used PODs pretty deeply. I have gone through complete documentation of Toolset and then decided to implement it for this website as it can have CPT, fields and views in one pack. So I dont have to use multiple providers..
The site deals with Disabled (as in specially able) People. They should be able to register online, themselves. And once registered, their names & profiles will be available in custom view page. This will look like a directory of "disabled people" with filters.
Disabled person fills various information like sex, date of birth, disability type etc. These fields will be used as filters. For eg. i want to see registered disabled users who are male and "Autism Spectrum Disorder" .. then i get it on this site.
In the registration form, i need to collect area information. This can not be google address based. This has to be as per government guideline. So registrant selects "district" from a combo, then another combo loads which is "provinces" in that district. This is important. Also this should be available in profile edit form. And i should be able to use these as filters.
The number of districts and provinces are too many. So i just wanted to create a taxonomy with hierarchy or CPT called location. It will have field location_type that will store type of locations. And i should be able to load that select-dropdown using this data from CPT/Taxonomy. This needs "reference" type field to be available in User custom fields. But it's not there. So i installed PODs along with Toolset. PODs allows to add such reference field in user entity also. It gives a lot of functionalities actually. But the problem is, this field added by PODs is not recognized by Toolset forms (and may be views, which i didn't tried yet) though this field can be seen on user profile page immediately. As toolset doesn't allow me to design registration form using this field, i m in very bad situation here. My whole decision of choosing Toolset for this site is in serious doubt. Please help.
Let me know if you want login credentials for this site..
Hello,
You are right, Toolset Forms plugin dose not support such kind of feature, you might consider other workaround.
For example, use Toolset Forms for user to fill other user fields, after user submit this form, redirect him to a page, in this page show him a "PODs" form, for user to choose the specific "reference" type fields.
It's not just about forms, but even views doesn't support fetching list of users and showing them with filters.
This really makes this whole thing not suitable for my project.
Do you have any hook or something using which i may be able to still use this or should i uninstall these modules and claim refund? I specifically purchased this pack only for this specific assignment of disabled people..
