CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have figured out how to make the Drupal Role go from Member to 'Empty' but I can't figure out how to get it to actually switch to another role. I am using a mixture of "Rules" module as well as the CiviMember Roles Sync. I feel what I want to do is possible but I just can't figure out the right combination of actions/rules to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, what you explained there I have working, thanks to your help  However that puts the person's Drupal User Role back to Authenticated user by default. I created a Role calling it Non-Member that if they try logging in they will get redirected to a homepage only "non-members" (who are drupal users) can see that shows that their account is either canceled or expired so it has the payment page for them to fill it out so we can renew their membership if they wish. So I want the Role status to go from "Member" to Non-Member when their Membership in CiviCRM is either Canceled or Expired.

Note: I have no trouble going from new account = "Member" role. Expired/Canceled membership = "nothing". I want that "Nothing" to change to Non-Member instead. If you want I can take some print screens to show you my Drupal Roles and the setup I have if that would help. I essentially just need to know if this is possible.

So does the following fail?
Synch Rule 1
Memb Type = X and Drupal Role = Member
CiviMember Status for Current Status = New, Current etc

Synch Rule 2

Memb Type = X and Drupal Role = ExMember (with no permissions)
CiviMember Status for Current Status = Expired

Yes it is successful in getting rid of the Member Role but it doesn't switch it to ExMember Role. That is the last step I am trying to accomplish. I have tested it out and created  a new member and gave them membership and they automatically had the Member role assigned to them (like they should). Then I canceled or expired the membership and the Member Role is taken away but not switchted to ExMember. They go back to being just a basic Drupal Authenticated User Role. I don't know how to create it where the case is such:

Case 1 - Person signs up and is accepted and gets the new Drupal Role - Member
Case 2 - Said person loses membership and gets the new Drupal Role - Non-Member (this isn't happening as I can't switch from Member to Non-Member roles)

Yes for testing purposes I am logged in as admin through Firefox then logging in as the user I am modifying in Chrome so I don't have overwriting cookies issues. So I am logged in with both the admin and respected user for testing. I logout and log back in for the user and see they go from Member role to basic authenticated user. However I want it to be when they log in they get an access denied kind of page depending on their situation. In other words they get redirected accordingly. However I see this not possible without being able to change their role. We could do it manually but that kind of defeats the purpose of having an automated membership management system haha.

Here you go.

Dang I thought we had something but no it just goes from Role=Member to Role="" which is the same as a basic authenticated user. I don't know it could be a bug in 3.4 and Drupal 6. When we go live we are going to use Drupal 7 and CiviCRM 4.0. Do you know if that would make any difference as far as these kind of extensions go? And thanks for all the help and speedy responses.

@Dave That would work however in the end the ideal way we are wanting it to be is having a Role that is either a Member (Full Access), Pending (Little Access), Grace (Little Access with Home page being payment page), Expired (same as Grace permissions but different wording).

So ideally we are wanting to have control over being able to change the Role type automatically depending on the users CiviMember Role status.

Glad to hear it - well persevered
