Automatically Create Joomla User from CiviCRM Admin?
July 21, 2010, 01:47:17 pm
Hi all,

Our org creates all new contacts through the CiviCRM admin (so there is no public registration form on the site). When a new contact is created, there is no corresponding Joomla account that would allow the user to log in. I know the admins can jump over to Joomla User Manager and also create the new user there, or first create the user, then sync users to contacts to pull the new account back to CiviCRM... but is there an automatic way for that account to be created?

Thanks in advance,

-B

you can do the below by adding the username field via the buildForm hook and then create the user via the postProcess hook on the contact create/edit form. A fair amount of the code you want is available at: CRM/Core/BAO/CMSUser.php

if you are not a programmer, consider hiring someone from http://civicrm.org/professional/

Folks,

I have several clients that would really benefit from this, and I bet we're not the only ones. Is anyone else working on this (or, better yet, completed a solution)? It seems like a simple solution, and frankly one that should have been included long ago.

I'm not a programmer, but would gladly support a project to get this done. Anyone else interested?
