CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have the same problem, but on a Drupal 6 site running CiviCRM 3.4.7. I'm looking around to see if there are any issues around this functionality that i need to be aware of. No luck as yet. Any pointers would be most welcome.

Pete hi, and many thanks for pitching in on this one.

I have to say you have me confused now. My understanding of the Civimember roles sync module is that there are three options as to how the membership change will sync with the Drupal role:
1. via cron
2. when the user logs in/out
3. when the membership status changes.

It the third option that i want to use, and I expect it to work such that when a user logs in to the site and signs up for a membership, their Drupal role is changed to reflect that signup. This is certainly the implication by my reading of the Dharmatech post at http://dharmatech.org/ideas/2011/improved-civimember-roles-synchronization

From what you have written I understand that the change only works when a user logs out and back in, regardless? This seems to run counter to the Dharmatech post, which, judging by its date - Jan 2011, those changes will be in the bundled Drupal module in CiviCRM version 3.4.7 (released Oct 2011) - the version used in this case.

Any one else able to cast light on this?

We've had a little breakthrough with this which we discovered when looking through the example module code for hook_civicrm_post (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmpost)

It just involves a minor change to the names of the variables used in the last function of the civicrm_member_roles.module file.

This is the original code:

function civicrm_member_roles_civicrm_post($op, $objname, $objid, &$objref) {
    if ($objname == "Membership") {
        if (variable_get('civicrm_member_roles_sync_method', 0) == 3) {
            _civicrm_member_roles_sync(NULL, $objref->contact_id);
        }
    }
}

which we replaced with this:

function civicrm_member_roles_civicrm_post($op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef) {
   if ($objectName == "Membership") {
        if (variable_get('civicrm_member_roles_sync_method', 0) == 3) {
            _civicrm_member_roles_sync(NULL, $objectRef->contact_id);
        }
    }
}

and all now seems to work ok.

No it hasn't, we just upgraded to Civi 4.1.2 and I had to copy this snippet of code across manually

i cant see a diff between the two code snippets? can u elaborate a bit more on what the change is and why changing the variable name makes a difference?
