Creating a members area / login page
March 10, 2011, 08:05:08 am
Hello

Apologies as I know this has probably all been discussed before but Im new and on  tight time constraint......

I want to create a members area on Drupal website, users will (1) register as Civicrm members and then be able to login (2) via a login page to a members area with the same details they used to register. Once logged in they will be allowed to (3) edit their membership details and (4)send us content (pdfs, pictures etc).

Thanks for any advice, Ive numbered the important parts.

Since you mentioned "Drupal" and from what you said no where was "user account authorization" mentioned, I will bring to your attention my Rx for how to secure anonymous Drupal userID creation in the event you really do not require moderation of new accounts being created:

Not very clear whether by 'member' you mean paid membership, or just 'has a civicrm contact record'.

If membership, then set up Membership Type, set up Contribution Page, add in Profiles to collect data from core and custom data fields, set profile to require Drupal login.

Set CiviCRM Member Synch module to give 'valid members' a specific role in Drupal, which then gives them access to whatever you mean by 'members area'.

Sending PDFs and Pictures? Do you mean send, or upload to their Drupal profile? Who is going to access them etc?

Have you read the relevant chapters in the Understanding CiviCRM book?

@ petard - We wont be needing to collect any payments, so it could be just a straight contact (as an individual)  record.
 
For sending us files that would be as an upload, those files would then be associated with that contact (perhaps using groups in Drupal?).

By members area I meant once a user was logged in they could edit their details (eg address,phone number etc) and  do a search for other members on the database; they might also want to download files uploaded by other members.

Im reading the manual currently as I have some time available.

@ mdlueck - Ill take a look at that

Thanks

After a bit more reading I think that Drupals organic groups module has most of the functionality that I need.

Thanks for the replies though.
