3.4.0 petition confirmation email contains dodgy activation URL
April 23, 2011, 11:48:38 pm
In 3.4.0, when I sign a petition as an anonymous user, the confirmation email contains a dodgy URL.

The tokens {$petition.confirmUrlPlainText} and {$petition.confirmUrl} both translate to https://example.com/civicrm/petition/confirm?reset=1&cid=&sid=&h=&a=127035&p=3

CiviCRM complains about "Missing Parameters" and I notice that cid, sid, and h are all empty

Hi,

What's the configuration you have on your civicrm.settings for the host ? and on the resource urls page ?

(where are you using these tokens ? in the message template to confirm the signature I'm assuming ?

Xavier,

When I click on the link, CiviCRM complains about "Missing input parameters".

The problem is that 'cid', 'sid', and 'h' are not being set in the URL. To answer your questions, ...

In civicrm.settings.php ...
    define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'https://example.com/' );

In Resouce URLs
    CiviCRM Resource URL: https://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm
    Image Upload URL: https://example.com/sites/default/files/civicrm/persist/contribute/
    Custom CiviCRM CSS URL: <blank>
    Force Secure URLs: Yes

These settings seem to be fine,

Ken

To clarify: is the domain name really missing or that's you that have removed it when posting? eg: is it http://example.org/civicrm/petition/confirm...

BTW, you can use example.com or example.org for your examples, they are reserved for that

Solved! Yet concerned!

The problem occurred because I had changed the group "Petition Contacts" so that it wasn't a "Public" group.

This is a potential problem to anyone who invites people to subscribe to their public groups, because now people can subscribe to "Petition Contacts". I expect that's going to be confusing!

Ahh, good catch.

For cost reasons, we re-used part of the existing "confirm you want to register to a public group" as a foundation of the "confirm you sign the petition".

I see your point, would be great if you could contribute untangling the two features.

I am getting swamped with emails from signers who say they never got the confirmation email, is there a way to resend those?

Hi,

I don't remember how looks the url,but if it's using only the checksum, you might write it directly using token and therefore simply send an email.

As for the feature per se, not yet, but would be useful indeed.

Could you work on it? The easiest is probably to add a mass action task on activity, so you can choose for instance all those signatures in status "schedule" (not confirmed) from 2 weeks ago and send them the confirmation link.

Confirming this is still the behavior for CiviCRM 4.3.  "Petition Contacts" must be a public group in order to allow a non-signed-in user to create the record properly and have Civi include the contact ID, user hash, and survey ID in the confirmation URL.

This solves the "Email address verified" page "Sorry but we are not able to provide this at the moment." "missing input parameters" issue in CiviCampaign Petition unregistered user confirmation.

@podfish,

I have a patch to fix the public-group-issue at http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,27952.msg119349.html#msg119349
