Hello

I am using Drupal Group roles sync, and it works great.  However, the problem is that when a user is added to a new Drupal role, it is not until he/she logs in that they are added to the Civi Group.  I need for the user with the new role to be automatically added to the corresponding civi group.

How can this be accomplished?  Please let me know if you need more information


thanks!

Form your reply it seems that a possible solution is to first create a user, then instead of assigning a role, assign the group in civi.  I will try this out, thank you!

Yes, you are correct, it does work this way.  Final question- can I easily find or search for all OR customize the dashboard to show all contacts that are not currently in a group?

Does it work for existing users? I have a bunch users in CiviCRM not assigned to any groups. I then create "Association Rule" in CiviGroup Roles Sync plugin, then assign a group to one of the existing users.

The user hasn't logged in yet, and there is no change to his Drupal role.

Then he logs in, and unfortunately there is still no change in his Drupal role....

Afterward I created a brand new user. This user is automatically placed in a CiviCRM group via profile, and this group is associated to a role in Drupal. His role remains empty before and after log in.

This module is enabled...

Anything else that I have to do? Do I have to install and run cron scripts? Which ones? The official doc for this plugin does not seem to exist yet. http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/CiviGroup+Roles+Sync

I'm on Drupal 6.19 and CiviCRM 3.2.5.

hmm- i was never aware that it was meant to be able to be a 2 way synch - look fwd to trying it out especially as we are probably needing to look at doing the same for the OG - Group synch module - you may have helped us along ;-)

Hi Dave and others - any idea if your patch will work on Drupal 6  (with Civi 4.1.2)?

Much of it wouldn't be relevant. The patch addresses 4 different types of problem in the code:
1. Civi API v3 requests / responses
2. Drupal 7 database layer
3. Changes to structure of Forms (Drupal 7 specific?)
4. General bugs - minor issues with debug messages IIRC.

So it may be that the API-related fixes are all you need for D6, plus I'd guess civicrm_group_roles_update_7400().

Ideally I would have done the non-D7-specific fixes first, created a patch for those, then another for D7. You know how these things go though, I was trying to get a small job done on a D7/Civi4.1 site and ended up spending longer tracking down why contacts weren't in the right groups & fixing that, than actually doing the job I was meant to be doing in the first place!
