outside of Drupal CiviSubscribe, how can anonymous users add himself to a group?
October 22, 2008, 08:08:06 am
I have unsuccessfully tried CiviCRMSubscribe.  Is there a way for an anonymous user to sign up for a newsletter - basically signing up for a group?

Many thanks.

You can create a profile with the standard contact info fields (if you want) and then add the groups field to the profile.  Only groups with public visibility will show so basically you're creating a sign up form where people can select what list (group) they want to join.

And I believe in 2.1 there is email confirmation if the group that is exposed is a mailing list.

here is an example: http://demo.dharmatech.org/programs

In this case, the profile is embedded in a drupal page.

hope this helps

tony
p.s. if you have drupal, make sure anonymous users have permission to access profiles.

That's beautiful - SOOOO much easier than trying to get CIVISubscribe to work.

Many thanks!!

Sometime next week we’ll also have a post on the CiviCRM blog on how to create a Drupal block that your site’s visitors can use to subscribe to a mailing list. :)
If you found the above helpful, please consider helping us in return – you can even steer CiviCRM’s future and help us extend CiviCRM in ways useful to you.

Will this post apply only to 2.1, or will the method work for 2.0 also?

I posted the entry under Mailing list subscription forms in Drupal blocks, please comment if anything is unclear. :)

I’m not sure, but I think it should work with 2.0 – it’s simple to test if you have a 2.0 install… :)

how do you setup the form so it redirects the subscriber to a specific page?

Thank you

i've commented on the original issue: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3467

This is now fixed in 2.2 (will be part of alpha2). You can add a hidden variable in your form or send it via the GET param:

Code: [Select]
<input type="hidden" name="redirectURL" value="http://www.yahoo.com/" />

OR

Code: [Select]
q=/civicrm/mailing/subscribe?reset=1&gid=2&redirectURL=http://www.yahoo.com

http://civicrm.org/node/472
this is a great help!
when CiviCRM sends an automated "Subscription Confirmation Request" email, the confirm subscription link looks like this: http://civicrm/mailing/confirm?reset=1&cid=5&sid=4&h=d7063db205c7a40d
(it doesn't contain my base URL)
I have set my base url, and I have set a Email Domain at civicrm/admin/mailSettings.

How can I make sure my {subscribe.url} token, and other tokens contain the correct URL?
I'm in 2.2 alpha. Maybe this is the issue?

In your civicrm.settings.php file, make sure that you have CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL defined correctly.  This seems to be used only (or almost only) to provide the URL for tokens in emails that are sent by the cron job.

Thank you for that suggestion, Walt.
My base URL is defined correctly in civicrm.setting.php.

I wonder what else i could try....

this was a bug in 2.2, it is now fixed. You can wait for alpha4, or you can apply the patch found here:

this worked for me!
Thanks Donald.
It's a simple fix, so users shouldn't be intimidated if they'd like to try it.
I didn't have to make any changes other than this patch  ;D
