Drupal account registration not being offered for pre-existing CiviCRM Contacts
February 15, 2012, 04:12:50 pm
I have imported about 20,000 members into CiviCRM. I am going to be sending out a notification with a link to a tokenized custom profile asking them to verify their information and update where appropriate.

I'd like them to also be prompted to setup a Drupal user account at the same time, but when I select the 'Give option, but not required' they are not presented with an option.

If I use the same profile in Create mode instead of Edit (i.e. for a new contact instead of an existing one) then they are presented with an option. Any ideas why?

do some / all of the exisiting contacts have a user record?

create is creating a new contact and hence assumes it can create a new user (which will error if an user with the same email exists). hence u always see the option

In the case of edit, i suspect the code might be checking if there is an existing contactID in the session and if so assumes that there is an exisitng user and does not show the "create user option". i.e. the code is not aware of the "tokenized" profile option

If you want to investigate and submit a patch, check:

CRM/Core/BAO/CMSUser.php, function buildForm

is most likely the starting point

Thanks Lobo. I'll dig down into it.
