Create Joomla user and civi contact at the same time
February 28, 2014, 07:49:55 am
Hi

We are creating an application where the principal of a school can register a student for participation in a programme.

Our work flow looks like this so far:

1    Principal logs in and is able to add a Student as a Joomla user. We are using the AddUserFrontEnd Joomla component to make this happen. Email with login details is sent to student.
2    Student logs in. The first successful log in creates a student contact and profile in Civicrm. However the student is not linked to his school. We have created a relationship 'Student of' [school], in the same way as there is an 'Employee of' [organization].

Maybe I am overcomplicating this. What I really want is for the principal to create a joomla users AND civicrm contact AND link them to the school in one step

Try opening the 'advanced settings' of the CiviCRM profile you are using.  Is "account creation" an option there?
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.
