Hi
New here. I am developing a project using Joomla and Civicrm. It is at a fairly advanced stage, but there are some actions that we want our users to be able to do from the Joomla front end but that Civicrm doesn't seem to be able to do. We are thinking of using Fabrik to build forms and lists that will add and read information to one or two Civicrm tables. I am reading through documentation and it seems like it is possible, but I am wondering if anyone else has done this, and if so, can offer advice on how to start, so we don't spend too much time going down blind alleys
Specifically, our project is a database of 1600+ schools, imported into CiviCrm as organisations. Schools will have a principal who will log in from the Joomla front end and add students (registering some of his/her students as participants in a programme) as both Joomla users and Civi contacts. We need the principal to be able to also see the list of students participating in the programme, and view their profiles. The part that I am hoping to do with Fabrik is to first: establish the relationship between the student and school, and second: display the list with links to profiles. That's it really. Just starting on this today, any tips or advice welcome.
Thanks
