Author Topic: Signup not added to groups (Read 888 times)

Hi,

I created a contact type, profile, group and proceeded to start testing the form for signups. Come to find out that my signups are not being added to the groups/profiles I created.

Attached are 2 screen captures of the configuration in my profile admin setting. No idea why my front-end form is not adding them to my group.

Any help, suggestions appreciated.

Thank you

** update ** - Also working nicely (and notices are fixed) on J1.7 / CiviCRM 4.1 beta sandbox: http://sandbox.joomla.civicrm.org/index.php/volunteer-signup

---------------

Hmm - setup looks correct. I just tried this on our J1.6 demo and it seems to be working (other than some notices that I'm investigating):

Maybe try to recreate your profile fields on the demo site and see if that gives clues. Also check apache error logs, and see if there are other modules that might be interacting

Hi Dave,

I came to find out that after filling in the form, the user is listed as a contact but joining the group is dependent on his/her confirmation. So now all I have to do is find out how to eliminate the confirmation part of the exercise and I'm good.

Edit: Now I have to find out why the subscription confirmation is not being sent.

You can disable the user confirmation requirement ("double-optin") by updating a single line in your CiviCRM settings file.

Find the line below in <your joomla directory>/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php

Code: [Select]

define( 'CIVICRM_PROFILE_ADD_TO_GROUP_DOUBLE_OPTIN', 1 );
... and change the 1 to a 0 (zero).

Note that if you're running 4.1 beta, that setting has been moved into the Administrator user interface at Administer > CiviMail > CiviMail Component Settings.

Thank you Dave. It's a temporary solution until I find a permanent one.

Ideally, I'd be able to send an auto responder that asks the user to verify their inputs and then click on a confirmation link to be added to the group.

Right now, neither the auto responder, nor the confirmation is being sent and I'm a long way away from solving that particular problem. I can start a new thread for that.
