problem: new member records overwriting old memeber record?
September 15, 2008, 07:36:17 am
Hi everyone.

I'm experiencing a really weird bug/problem. I'm relatively new to civiCRM and I've been searching for a reference to this issue to no avail. Hence, this post.

I have a new install of CiviCRM with Drupal. I've imported a bunch of contact records (about 6000). These contact are members of various groups. I have a form on my website that allows anonymous web site users to add their name to the mailing list. When they do, their contact info SHOULD be added as a new record and then added to a particular group. The problem is every sign up is not added as a new contact but overwrites contact record 5188. This seems really weird. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks
-Matt

How was that form built? What fields (visible and hidden) are in the form? (You might want to post the form source code here ...)
