CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding the integration of Drupal & CiviCRM.

1. When registering, is user data stored in both the drupal database and yours? e.g. if I later remove civicrm will all the data still be available via Drupal?
2. I understand that CiviCRM takes over the registration for drupal (at least I think so!), but how do you login in/out? Is this through CiviCRM or Drupal?
3. I am planning on using Drupal Vb which creates a user in vBulletin and logs them in at the same time as Drupal, is this possible with CiviCRM?

Thanks,
Paul.

Hi lobo,

Thanks for your quick response, much appreciated.

I just want to clarify this so I have the process right in my head. The user registers with Drupal just as normal but you can add profile elements such as addresses etc if we want. The user would then be assigned a role by drupal.

If the user then wants to sign up as a paid member they can visit the civicrm side of things, say a 'join us' page (without logging in again) and join up. If they have entered address during the drupal login, it will be there, if not, then they add it. They will then have their role changed. crm will then deal with the whole membership expiry/role changes etc.

Does that sound about right?

Thanks,
Paul.
