CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have 2 public profiles on my site, one for editing a user's profile and one for opt-out.

The form directed the user to enter their email address, first and last name as they appeared in a token-generated email I sent them, then complete the profile with their address, communication prefs, etc.  This form is a Joomla Civi>Profile>Edit menu link.

Before the upgrade to 3.1, Civi would realize it was a duplicate and quietly UPDATE the profile with the user supplied info.  For my purposes, the first/last/email match with reCaptcha is good enough security.  I did this all without messing with Joomla accounts since 100% of my database doesn't have an account in my Joomla instance.

Now, when public front end form is filled out, it only gives the error:

--
Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:

    * A record already exists with the same information.
--

Additionally, the reCaptcha module doesn't show up in this profile, even though it is enabled in the profile settings.

I have made sure that "Update profile on duplicate match" is checked in the profile settings.  I have tried using the 7-day checksum token, which didn't seem to work with Joomla, so I abandoned that.

Any ideas why this would have broken in 3.1?  

As always, your generous help and ideas are much appreciated!

Thanks Lobo,

I did just reproduce it on the Joomla demo site.  Will file a bug.

Thanks for your assistance!
