CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have Drupal 6.9 installed.  I installed CiviCRM 2.2 alpha 3 installed.  I basically am trying to get the people that sign up in Drupal a membership in CiviCRM so that I can do the things with it that is is useful for.

I installed the Sync Roles modules for CiviMember and CiviGroup but I cannot figure out how to get them to sync with the sign up in Drupal, nor can I get them to import.

I tried to do this but for some reason I cant get it to work.  Do you know what exactly is needed to configure it or a tutorial?

Thanks.  There are a few things I dont understand...  I may have to get help with it.  I cant find a civicrm member roles to add a rule to other than in the module on the administer area.  I tried that and it dodnt work

One thing is I have the paypal staandard set up and there is also a contribution, but it wont do both of them and it is set up for both of them.  Could this have anything to do with it perhaps?  I am trying to uncheck the contribution on the membership part.

I dont know.  I think maybe this isnt for me.  I cant seem to follow the docs and the terminology is wode spread so taht I cant follow it properly.  The links dont work that you posted, maybe something there, but I can aaccess everything via the civicrm link in the navigation.  I just cant get the roles set properly apparently to take a drupal user and make it a civicrm member.

Hi

once you enabled the CiviMember and CiviGroup

Go TO /admin/settings, you will get CiviMember Roles Sync (admin/settings/civicrm_member_roles) OR in drupal admin see Site configuration
CiviMember Roles Sync
Add Associated Rule for membership(required CiviCRM Membership Types and Drupal Role other than anonymous user & authenticated user)

Go TO /admin/settings, you will get CiviGroup Roles Sync( /admin/settings/civicrm_group_roles)
CiviGroup Roles Sync

Add Associated Rule for Group(required CiviCRM Group and Drupal Role other than anonymous user & authenticated user)

hi
is your CiviGroup Roles Sync, CiviMember Roles Sync, CiviCRM modules are in the same directory i.e.(sites/all/modules/)?
OR CiviCRM is in (sites/all/modules)  directory and CiviGroup Roles Sync or CiviMember Roles Sync in the modules directory

sunil

the civi roles folders are in the sites/all/modules/civicrm folder...  I copied them to the /modules folder/ and to the site/all/modules but nothing got better.

I still have the warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/b/n/t/bntbrl/html/SITENAME/sites/all/modules/civicrm/api/v2/Group.php on line 93 error so I may need to uninstall the module and try it again.

thanks

I uninstalled the moduoles and deleted the database.  I reinstalled the version civicrm 2.1.4  The install appears to have went  without incident.  I created a user Member along with authorized and anon.  I added the rules and I cant get them synced though.

I have no idea what IM doing wrong.  Perhaps a permission Im overlooking somewhere.

. Create CiviCRM Contacts for Existing Drupal Users
Once installed, CiviCRM keeps your Drupal Users synchronized with corresponding CiviCRM contact records. The 'rule' is that there will be a matched contact record for each Drupal user record. Conversely, only contacts who are authenticated users of your site will have corresponding Drupal user records.

When CiviCRM is installed on top of an existing Drupal site, a special CiviCRM Administrative feature allows you to automatically create CiviCRM contacts for all existing Drupal users:

Login to your Drupal site with an administrator-level login
Click the CiviCRM link in the main navigation block
Click Administer CiviCRM
If your Drupal site makes use of the db_prefix setting (in settings.php - cf. Step 2, above), click Configure Global Settings, then Drupal Integration Settings, and update the box for the Drupal Users Table Name so that it includes the prefix.
Click Synchronize Users-to-Contacts in the top group of icons

This part with the db_prefix has me confused with adding this to the settings.php  I tried this but I dont kno wwhat "box" it is supposed to get put in or how to do it.

IM pretty much back where I started.  It has taken me longer to figure out civimember to get working than it has taken me to set up 43 websites with drupal 6.9 lol...   Maybe I can just ditch civicrm and use a mail module for drupal?

THanks for the help so far though.

Okay.  I talked with a professional about the installation.  Several different people have told me that you cannot simply "import users" FROM drupal into memberships of CiviCRM.  You import the drupal users INTO contacts, and THEN you have to manually add memberships from the contacts.

This makes a little more sense to me now.

Also there is a profile choice you have to make in Civicrm profiles that has to be used in order to import the drupal users into Civicrm as a contact.  I have to figure this part out next.
