CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello,

I would like to start by saying that I have googled my error, review the forums, and read the documentation. Saying that I am also not a Civicrm expert. I working as a volunteer for non-profit organisation and have been trying to come up to speed the last 6 months on Drupal - Civicrm and the integration of both.

I also inherited the currenty civicrm database which consists of information about non-governmental organisations.

I have upgraded Civicrm to 3.1.3 and it is working with CMS Drupal 6.16, on logging in as a user configured to view and edit profiles I test the editing access with the following URL extension:

http://www.mywebsite.com/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&id=?&gid=12

However I get the following error:
This profile is configured for contact type 'Organization'. It cannot be used to edit contacts of other types.

This I find strange as I doubled checked the profile and all fields included are either Organisation or Contact, this should work right?

Also I can view the profile record for the specific user without issue! I can access the profile for editing if I navigate through the links for the online directory when logged on as the user, having the view / edit links enabled. At the moment this is the only roundabout way I can get access to the profile editing option.

I have looked at ACL's, and I have looked at CiviGroup Roles Sync which doesn't seem to help, I set up a Drupal User Profile and maybe through lack of experience I can't seem to make that work either. For my test user it is synched with a corresponding civicrm contact record and that link displays correct when I log in as that user but I don't want someone editing the contact record.

I think the underlying error that I detailed above that I get when I try to display the profile for editing is the problem. At this point, I am out of ideas and would really appreciate any help or guidance!!

Thank you very much!
