CiviCRM a good fit for a car club?
February 20, 2008, 08:45:31 am
Just wondering, I've set up a site for our rather large car club and was looking for capability to expand profiles, allow users to edit their own profiles, make custom profiles, allow users to self-register and/or volunteer for events and perhaps even auto-pay their membership dues online.

We're using Joomla 1.5 and while I've seen that it's not officially supported or endorsed, I also noticed that some people are doing just that.

The main problem is that Joomla's user ACL is so vestigial and there's really no flexibility built in yet.

Pretty much most of the things you mention below can be done with our front end capabilities of Joomla.

The only thing that you might need to debug / fix is allowing users to self-register via Joomla. We do support this for joomla 1.0.x in CiviCRM 2.0, but am not sure whether it will work with Joomla 1.5 (i think we have tested and tweaked it, so it might)

Hi,  Lobo.

I'm not sure what you mean, are you saying that you don't think I need to use CiviCRM because Joomla has the built-ins, or that CivicRM would bolt right in nicely for this purpose?

Thanks
Scott

Check:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Configuring+Front-end+Profile+Listings+and+Forms+in+Joomla!+Sites

which describes how you can expose parts of civicrm functionality in the frontend. This should help with most of the things you need to do (with the possible exception of user self registration)
