CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello everyone, i'm not quite sure how or if this is possible. Basically, I want a member that is signing up with a drupal account to have the ability to pay for their membership during the sign up process. Is there a way to integrate  civicontribute?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. However, let me clarify exactly what i wanted users to do. I wanted new users that are signing up through the drupal registration system to have the ability to check off an option to pay for their membership dues and become a member through civicontribute, without me or any administrator intervention. In other words, I would not need to create any member profiles in civimember, just to create the CMS user. Does that make sense?

I have the same need.  An anonymous visitor needs to signup, pay, and be given a login.  This login displays members-only content.
You can create a Profile form.  Go to the settings of that form.  Check this box:
    "Drupal user account registration option?
 
    If you are using this profile as a contact signup form OR using it in an online contribution page, anonymous users will be given the option to create a Drupal User Account as part of completing the form. This feature requires the 'Email Verification' option to be checked (Drupal User Settings). In addition, you must include a Primary Email Address field in the profile."

Now when you signup as a member, there's this new question:
"If you would like to create an account on this site, check the box below and enter a user name . If you already have an account, please login before completing this form.
 Create an account?"

As long as they check that box, a Drupal member is automatically created.

As far as the profile, you can adjust it so no questions are shown (say, put in one question and leave it hidden).  Now you don't have to deal with actual profile questions.  As far as being listed as CiviCRM members, hopefully you can just ignore that.
In the end, you get to make people pay to get a login, and it's all automated.
If you just wanted a paid members site, perhaps there's some other plugin or whole CMS system which would work better for you.
