Blank Page editing details
July 10, 2007, 04:10:13 pm
I am using civicrm 1.0.12 Stable for Joomla and love it. I look after the website for my club and I am trying to manage the club members details.
I have set up a profile to allow the users to edit their own details (Name, address, email  etc) and display it on the front end members only area. The form looks good but if I try to edit the address or phone number I get a blank page display after submit and the details are not saved.
I can edit the email address and or name, but this does not update the Joomla contact, so I get a Sync issue between Joomla contacts and the CiviCrm contacts.
I followed the documentation closley and added the required line to index.php and searched the forms for a similar issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you check your php error log. Seems like php is experiencing an error and dying

Just as a matter of interest. If you allow you members to modify their email address via a profile, how do you sync it back to the joomla user db? If you don't synch it then the user isn't matched next time.

OK I found what the issue is. It is to do with Google mapping. I removed the Geocode setting and this fixed it. I feel it still needs to be investigated more. But for now I will be aware of it and If I ever really want to have mapping refrences then I will trry Yahoo first.
Thanks everyone for the help and input.

1. You host might be blocking traffic from your webserver to outgoing ports. You might want to chat with them. If true for maps.google.com, i suspect the same for maps.yahoo.com

2. CiviCRM does sync up between the primary email address and the CMS email address. For joomla, changing the primary email address in Civi shoudl also change the address in the joomla table (but not vice versa, since there is no callback functionality in joomla)

This was my expectation but my initial tests didn't work. Though, this was while I had the issue with the Geocode. I will try it again and see what happens.
Bonza beaut mate!

No probs. I notice the Sync feature in Joomla is not that good. Maybe the next version :) For now it something I can manage manually. Next time there is a raining weekend I will look at the code and see if I can help.

In SQLServer you can set a parameter to on update, update another tables data element. Is there similar for MYSQL? I had a quick look around and it was not obviuse.

The code to do a one way sync is actually quite easy:

CRM/Core/BAO/UFMatch.php (line 248)

however we felt a one way sync is a bad idea since its not consistent. A 2 way sync is a better model. And since we do not know how to do a 2 way sync in joomla, we decided to skip the sync aspect :(

OK. So If it is in the core do I just have to call the function "function updateContactEmail($contactId, $emailAddress)" in my contact form?

Within my website I don't allow registration so I turned of the email edit  in Joomla so users can only change password. Thanks to your help I now have a form for them to update the CRM address etc and If I get the one way sync for email address working it will be perfect.
 
Love Joomla.
