"Could not find valid value for gid" on PROD server, but not devel
February 08, 2009, 07:57:21 am
Hi all,

I have a search profile that always errors (Could not find valid value for gid) on my PROD server, but never errors on my DEV server. I literally just dumped the code and sql (using phpMyAdmin) from one to the other, so they should be indentical (same drupal, php, & mysql, too).

The error never occurs for logged in users, only anonymous (drupal). Have I missed a setting somewhere?

TIA!

Donald Lobo

can u ensure that there is a uid of 0 (anonymous user) in the users table. most likely that is missing and hence anon users dont get a session created for them

Thanks; that did the trick.

Glad I asked. I never would have found that myself.

I have a similar problem.  I created a custom profile for email subscribe for anonymous users to join my email update list in my template:

http://bivforbrooklyn.com/index.php/poll

when submit I get same error.

Oddly, it was working at some point but when I destroyed the session by closing browser it never worked again.  I created a uid=0 in joomla user table with various gid=N  and nothing worked.

I also recall having a similar problem in my last campaign where email opt-out's didn't work.

Any suggestions?  These functions are vital to me.  Thanks in advance.

that url is wrong

https://bivforbrooklyn.com/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile&reset=1

the error message is valid, the url is missing a gid=XXX

i'm not sure where/how you created that html. you might want to chat with your developer/integrator

Thank you Donald.  I fixed it by recopying the HTML snippet given in the admin HTML Form Snippet.  It's working again.  In editing, some form parameters got changed.  Sorry to have taken your time.
