Profile editing using Civimail checksum gives "Component not found" error

[lsmithgo]

I have successfully sent an email from Civimail which changes my tokenised text:
  Dear {contact.addressee}
  this is a test
  please visit http://[site]/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=15&id={contact.contact_id}&{contact.checksum}

to:
  Dear test
  this is a test
  please visit http://[site]/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=15&id=1&cs=d3e0aaadeefece7402ca10955746ec90_1254955436_168

However, the link doesn't work, I get the following message from my site:

404 - Component not found

You may not be able to visit this page because of:

   1. an out-of-date bookmark/favourite
   2. a search engine that has an out-of-date listing for this site
   3. a mistyped address
   4. you have no access to this page
   5. The requested resource was not found.
   6. An error has occurred while processing your request.[/flash]

(etc)

Am I doing something wrong?

you'll need to fix the url for joomla, should be more like:

http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/create&reset=1&gid=1

Thanks... but now I am confused between profile/edit, profile/create and profile/view

I have a CiviCRM user that is not set up as a Joomla user.

If I use

• profile/view :  their information is correctly displayed from CiviCRM though of course they cannot change it
• profile/create :  a blank form is displayed and their current information is not shown
• profile/edit :  doesn't work, just displays the site home page.  If I then click 'back', I get the error message "You do not have permission to edit this contact record. Contact the site administrator if you need assistance"

What I am trying to do is:

• Send a link to a user who is a CiviCRM contact, but no Joomla user account
• Display their contact information, allow them to correct it
• Force them to enter a Joomla user id/password
• Take them on to an Event Registration screen

Is this possible?

Do u include 'cs=LONG_32_char_md5_string' parameter in the profile/edit link? You definitely need to do that, to get the edit link to work

You might want to contact peter d from NZ and support this effort: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,10204.msg43693.html#msg43693

You can set up a profile to redirect to an event registration page on completion. The joomla user/password can be collected on a profile (and also in event registration)

Once you get the below setup, can you post a recipe so other folks can use it

thanx

the full link is this:

http://www.breinton.com/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/edit&reset=1&gid=15&id=428&cs=5705a790a8322fc9fecb364fed537d6f_1254996491_168

so, yes, includes the cs string

however the above is routed to my home page

Have reached out to peter

So I have now tried the same thing on the demo site

the email generated by CiviMail contains a link to:

http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/edit&gid=1&reset=1&id=106&cs=0e4545e7c94bb5bc92c809103ddb3018_1255034250_168

Which is calling the "Name and Address" profile for the user.

The above URL generates the same error that I'm seeing on my site - that is, it doesn't do anything except display the root web page, ie http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/

Changing it from "edit" to "create" gives the same issue I reported before:  "You do not have permission to edit this contact record. Contact the site administrator if you need assistance."

Logged an issue (#5228) as I can recreate in the demo environment
