CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I had Civi Webform integration working perfectly a few weeks ago including editing existings contacts and adding new ones.  But my admin upgraded Civi to 4.4.5 and now Add New Contact is not working right.  Instead of creating a new contact, it is editing contact_id 5555 consistently and in my hook civicrm_post function, it's calling with with $op = edit instead of $op = create for the Individual.  I was also seeing an error that I had not seen before: Warning: Creating default object from empty value in webform_civicrm_webform_submission_load()
(line 238 of of /home/fjmcprod/public_html/sites/all/modules/webform_civicrm/webform_civicrm.module

Do you know if an upgrade will most likely solve this problem or if I'm doing something wrong in my webform configuration?  I checked everything in the webform and civi tabs for something out of whack but cannot find anything unusual.

I upgraded Webform CiviCRM Integration module to 4.6 per recommendations on https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_civicrm.  But then I see that I have to upgrade webform to 4.x which is not in stable release but is in rc3.  We have lots of other webforms that are used without Civi so I am hoping nothing breaks!  Any clues on how smoothly the webform module upgrade will go?

As to the smoothness of upgrade - one word of warning... if you are using the webform_conditional module, you'll need to disable it as that feature is now in webform core. Review any webforms that were using conditionals to ensure they still work as expected after the upgrade.

Coleman, I am the admin for the site. We upgraded to 4.4.5 in early May and everything seemed to be fine. We did some  upgrades to Webform modules toward the end of May, it still seemed to be working fine. Something happened and all our record creations in Civi contacts table updated record 55555. I spent the last 5 hours updating webform or more appropriately uninstalling release 3.   Finally get all the check marks off, uninstalled the modules, but they are still in the module directory, and started  the reinstall. I get a message webform is already installed.

With 10 modules dependent on webform this upgrade is extremely significant.  I know you have good reasons to break compatibility to prior versions but this upgrade is a killer. When I upgraded to 4.4 I noticed the webform upgrade. Since 4.4 had been out a year and webform 4 was a RC. I did not pay attention.

We have been in production 6 weeks and hit this problem creating new contacts.  Is there any way we can deal with the 5555 issue and plan an orderly upgrade to webform 4

@sibro, I have tried to make the dependency requirements extremely clear, by listing them on the project page, in blog articles, in the module's .info file, and even going so far as to add an extra requirements check which shows up on the drupal status page.

To reiterate, if you upgrade CiviCRM to 4.4.x then you must also upgrade Webform and Webform-CiviCRM to their respective 4.x branches. Failure to do so will result in numerous problems of which the one you listed is only the beginning. Your issue is in my opinion not a bug but the result of a well-documented incompatibility.

I'm sorry but I cannot offer support for your setup because it goes against all my recommendations and warnings.
