I use the family option for our church directory.
Just installed the Form extension and looks great.

Why is the Family option not on the cn-entry-type div in the SUBMIT form.
Also does not show up when edit the record?

Also why are the NAME fields not showing up when editing the entry for family?
They do when creating a new record, but not on the edit.

Form does not support the creating of families. Families can only be created in the admin by admins. This is done for security and privacy. If it were available, anyone could add any other in the directory as a family member.

re: Also why are the NAME fields not showing up when editing the entry for family?

Do you mean the first/last name fields? If so, this is because a family does not have a first or last name, it has a family name.

re: They do when creating a new record, but not on the edit.

Only when the entry type is set as an individual, when you switch the entry type to a family, the first/last name fields are not available.

Hope that answers your questions thoroughly!

What I am talking about the NAME fields, I mean the panel titled NAME.
The fields are missing for the Family type.

Here are screen shots of the NAME panels for each of the data types:

Individual type

Organization tye

Family Type

Notice there are no fields ….

Ok, I see, like I said Form does not support editing the family entry type. So, the bug is the edit link shows for it when it should not. I’ve just fixed the bug so the edit link will not show. The fix will be in the next update release which will probably be Friday.
