Can't create Drupal user record from Individual record
April 27, 2012, 06:02:58 pm
Drupal 6, Civi 4.1.2
While logged in as the administrator I get an error when I try to create a Drupal User Record using the Action drop-down in an Individual Contact record.

Clicking on the Create User Record link brings up the form to create a Username and password, and correctly checks the availability of the user name.

However when I click the Add button I get an error "This email is already registered. Please select another email."

This happens with any Individual record I choose, and I have checked my Drupal users to make sure that the email is not registered to an existing Drupal User.

Am I misunderstanding something obvious?

(The demo server doesn't have the functionality to test this).

I was running CiviCRM 4.1.1 on Drupal 7 and this was working.

I downgraded to CiviCRM 4.1.1 on Drupal 6 and it stopped working, with the error:
"This email is already registered. Please select another email."

I'd say it is a bug.  Interestingly, even in Drupal 7, after creating the CMS user in CiviCRM, I would have to reset the user's password in Drupal before the user could log in.  So even with Drupal 7 it was not working perfectly.

It seems that CiviCRM synchronizes with Drupal via the email address.  So if you add a Drupal user with an email address that matches a Contact's record, they will magically bind together when the user logs in.  At least this seems to be the case in Drupal 6.

Hi Matthew - I haven't tried Civi on Drupal 7 yet. Maybe next development ! I bulk imported all my Civi contacts into Drupal as users using node_import (quite easy) but had hoped to be able to do subsequent ones from inside civi. Sadly it doesn't work in 4.1.2. I'm holding thumbs it gets on the priority list to be fixed in the next update.

I have a patch that makes this work in drupal 6 - but it's one of those patches which makes you think "how could it possibly work in Drupal 7 without this patch. The function 'checkUserNameEmailExists' is being called without the email being passed in

OK - it worked for me - but maybe not Sarah - so if you verify it works for you I'll commit it

Many thanks again.

Sarah,

My best guess is that some other module (like captcha or mollum) is playing a part for you?

The function is CRM/Utils/System/Drupal6::checkUserNameEmailExists (off the top of my head)
