Author Topic: civiauthenticate not assigning users to proper joomla access group (Read 3001 times)

Stam · August 21, 2012, 09:43:45 pm

Hi! I've installed civiauthenticate, and would like to associate a certain member type selection (when the user creating an account through a contribution page) with a joomla access group. This is easy enough to set up in the Civiauthenticate settings, but it doesn't seem to take. No matter what membership type is selected when creating the account, the user is always assigned to the group set up as the default for new registrations in the Joomla user system settings.

Civiauthenticate also seems to fail to properly import new membership types when i create them.

Has anyone else had this trouble? This plugin is pretty essential to my project. I've disabled Joomla authentication, and still get the same result.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Sorry to hear that this isn't working as planned. A couple of months ago I was near to updating the codebase to the latest APIs as the old ones will be depreciated at some stage. However a new addition to my family has put paid to most of my free time. I still need / want to update the code so am happy to work with you top resolve this.

Do you want to send me some more details and I'll look into it?

Please note that I'm not a coder by profession and have tried to document the code clearly so others can understand what is going on.

Cheers, Henry

I would be very grateful if this project was updated to fix the ACL issue. Thank you in advance

Yes, myself as well. This would be an invaluable tool for Joomla implementations. I have various errant behavior in its current form.

Login Behavior does not seem to work. When I put in userid/password, it just returns me to Home page with no login. If I turn off Civi authenticate and use Joomla, same userid/password works fine.

Membership Access Control - when this is on, after entering userid/password the page is locked (browser in "waiting..." state). I have left it there for up to 5 minutes and it never comes back. If I cancel the submit, then click "logon" again, it comes back fairly quickly and the groups have been adjusted as expected.

Once again - a much needed and great plugin!! But currently unusable.

Anything I can do to assist, please let me know!

Thanks,
Craig

Nice to hear that folks want to see this code working.

Craig, raustin1 - I'm time poor at the moment and it's going to take me a while to get into this again. Besides testing, can you assist in any way? pm if you like.

if any of u'll are in the UK and/or europe, might be worth attending the post-civicon sprints and try to get it working there. quite a few folks attending those sprints and u can potentially try and convince other folks to help out

Thanks for the heads up. Hadn't seen the code sprint and it is just down the road from me. I'm going to try and say hello but have limited time over the next few days.

Henry,

I will try to assist any way I can. I am just getting to the point where I am digging into how CiviCRM works, and the api and hooks. Let me know what you would expect. PM is fine as well.

Thanks,
Craig

henry:

do come in and say hello. would be good to meet you in person

would also be good to have a joomla presence (we have drupal well represented, a bit of WP presence)

Hi there Henry

If there is anything I can do to help move an update to the plugin along, please let me know (I can't code but I can test :-/ )

It works great on 4.1.6 but on 4.2.x it's not handling the redirect to a contribution page for people with expired memberships. It does redirect for other login probs ok.

cheers

Hi Nicol,

That's good feedback. I'll look into that usage case and get back to you. How much of a rush are you in? I'm short on being able to make promises at the moment.

Henry

Hi Henry,

It's probably happening once a week or so - and for the time being I'm redirecting people to a contact us page. So tho it'd be really helpful it's not an emergency.

To clarify what's happening: if it's set to redirect to the contribution page and the member is expired it tries to get them to login (which made me wonder if I just need to change my Civi ACL permissions). Any of the menu link redirects seem to work - tho if that menu link is a contribution page it won't have the extra info in it.

cheers

Nicol,

If a user's membership is expired then if you have the
[login behaviour/Use Current Member Statuses] = yes
then the plugin will see the user as expired and reject login.

Try setting it
[login behaviour/Use Current Member Statuses] = no
and modifying
[If you answered No above then which membership level is the lowest you want to approve?]

Does that make sense. Give it a go and let me know how it works.

nicol · September 30, 2012, 06:28:59 am

Afraid that doesn't fix it. If I set 'lowest to approve' to new/grace/current it stil gives the login box, if I set it to expired, it'll let expired members login.

I've got another site with the current membership status set to yes and that seems to work fine (on 4.1.5).

cheers
nic
