Import users then verify new user registration
March 11, 2009, 11:07:54 am
Ok, I have been trying to figure this one out. 

I have a database of about 28,000 contacts that we would like to move into Civicrm/drupal.  Each contact has a unique "member Number" that is not repeated etc...  I figured I would import the data into civicrm, and then let people know about the new site.  My question is:

Is there a method so that when people come to the site and create/request a new login/registration via drupal that they can be tied to the civicrm record by matching the "member Number" and be "auto-pproved".   I.e.  I do not want to have to A) approve 27,000 new user accounts, B) I do not want to have to verify that each person requesting an account on the site is a Member by matching there member number.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I am building the site from scratch, so no "old Users" to worry about.

Ian

you'll need to modify existing code for this and change civicrm's user_registration hook. We currently match on email address, and you will need to change that to match on member id (and do the right thing if member id does not match or is not entered)

check the register hook in drupal/civicrm.module and the matching code in CRM/Core/BAO/UFMatch.php
