profiles forms in wordpress
March 10, 2012, 12:17:24 am
Hi,

I am hoping someone can help me.

I am trying to have anonymous uses fill in a profile form to subscribe to a magazine. I have created a profile and given the everyone role permission to create a profile, but when I go to the suggested url <siteroot>/civicrm/profile/create&gid=10 like the help text suggests I am getting a page cannot be found.

I have tried using the HTML snippet in a wordpress page but, wordpress changes all the formatting and javascript.

Can anyone please tell me if there is a short code I can insert into a wordpress page or a quick way of making the profile form public.

Cheers

Donald Lobo

Is there any documentation on this? I've been hunting for info an how to expose a profile, and so far this thread is all I've come across.

Thanks

The documentation is forthcoming in the new version of book.civicrm.org I believe.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

Hey, this answer isn't complete enough for me and I have the same question...can you expand it to the "for dummies" version?
Thanks!

Hi Emma

I'm guessing here based on my experience with CiviCRM and Drupal, but based on Lobo's suggestion above...

Having created your profile, in order to locate the URL to access it, try:

http://www.yoursite.com/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/profile/create&reset=1&gid=1

where the final bit, gid=1, provides the ID number of the profile you just created.

To find the ID of your profile, go to Administer > Customize Data & Screens > Profiles, where you will see a list of your profiles.  The ID of each profile should be displayed in this listing, so if your profile ID is, for example, 15, then the url will be of the form:
http://www.yoursite.com/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/profile/create&reset=1&gid=15

Hope this helps.

Hi,

So I have exactly the same situation.  My URL's in wordpress don't conform to the example being given.

I'm wondering if it's because I am using "friendly" URL's.  Just not sure but would love to be able to use signup forms within the WP site.

Any ideas?

Thanks


Wes

If you turn off friendly URLs, does it work then?

Hi,

OK.  So now I feel silly.  WHERE do I make so they are not friendly URL's.  I see settings for posts but not for pages.

It seems like the way things are embedded into wordpress content is different than with the other CMS's and I actually like it better.  The short code generator that allows for Event Registration or Donation pages is great.  Is it possible that other forms could be included in this area.

Would love to solve this but not sure what to do.

Thanks

Wes

So what's the URL of one of the event registration or donation pages on your site? (Feel free to use example.com for your domain)

OK.  So I did change the permalinks to be in the style "page=xx".  The site continued to work but changing the URL as described did not to get to the profile.  I know I am not supposed to past links but is it possible to refer to a site.  I will try and see if I get my hand slapped.

So the site is at civicrm dot wlfarm dot org.

I would then append *something" on this to get to my profile which happens to be group id 16

Does this help?


Many many thanks,

Wes

Re: profiles forms in wordpress [SOLVED]

Ok.  I figured out what I was doing wrong.  My clue came when I was looking at a link for sharing a donation page.  When I saw the pattern of that URL I realized it would likely solve my problem.  So in our site we have friendly URL's that look like www.example.com/mainnav_section_page/subpage_name/


To get the form to show I used the following

"/get-involved-2/join-our-mailing-list/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/profile/create&reset=1&gid=16"

The "/get-involved-2/join-our-mailing-list/" is a valid page but when presented does not actually show ANY of the content from that page.

The remainder "?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/profile/create&reset=1&gid=16" causes the form to be presented. 

So I simply moved the content that I wanted to preceed the form to the Profile directions and all is good with the world.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks


Wes

Is there a way to add a {create user name and password}  into a profile.  This way someone can enter their information and gain the ability to log back into wordpress and edit the crm profile latter on..
