CivicRM failed to work on frontend
January 27, 2011, 06:26:18 pm
I have managed to install Civicrm but it seems to only work in the backend and not the frontend? Maybe, it might have something to do with the fact that i do not know how to set this up and the lack of documentation for civicrm on Joomla just does not help.
And the frontend looks just like the one i installed, always says: You do not have permission to execute this url. no matter what i set up. On the demo, you can't even login to the backend? But it all works on Drupal. I'm beginning to susspect that it really doesn't work on Joomla but only Drupal.
The installation went smoothly, spend about 20 mins but a whole day trying to figure out how to show contribution or profiles on the frontend with no success on joomla. I would like to continue to give it another go but is it really working on joomla? has anyone got a screenshot of what the frontend is suppose to look like on Joomla?

Due to the restrictive permissions available in Joomla 1.5, there are only certain features which can be made available at the front end on Joomla.

On the public site you can make available Dontations or Membership sign-up pages through the use of a Profile under CiviContribute.  At a high level you create a Profile on Civi containing the fields you want to display on the page, create a Contribution Page which uses that Profile, then make this page available to the Joomla front end by adding a menu item of type CiviCRM > Contribution Page.

For registered / signed in members only you can allow them to manage their own membership details.  Set up a menu item of type Contribution > Dashboard  and another of type Profile > Edit which uses a profile containing fields which you want to allow members to be able to update.

This is pretty much all I have at the front-end on my site.  For everything else including staff / volunteers who maintain the data on a regular basis they need a back-end sign-on.

All of this is due to change with the recent release of Joomla 1.6.  This allows Joomla to be configured with granular permissions and CiviCRM now have a project funded to amend CiviCRM to make use of these new features, so it should become a lot more like Drupal in terms of making different Civi functionality available to different users at the front-end.  Hopefully this will be around end of March.
