CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

I am using Civicrm with Joomla. I am trying to expose a Profile through a Joomla page to create new contacts. I followed the instructions on: "CRMDOC\Configuring Front-end Profile Listings and Forms in Joomla! Sites.html". The profile is displayed correctly and accepts data, but when I press the Create button I get the following message:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
One of parameters (value: ) is not of the type Integer

Return to home page.

I get the same message with my own custom Profile and with the Supporter Profile that comes with Civicrm. My custom Profile consists of only three fields and does not have Joomla registration (username and password). This is a new instalation with very little set up. I created a new Menu Item and then used the following to add the Profile:

Joomla 1.5 Steps:
Login to Administrator if not already logged in.
Click Menu on top navigation bar and select the menu you want to add the Event link(s) to (for example - mainmenu).
Click New icon (top right).Click CiviCRM link from the Internal Link list.
Enter a Name for the menu item.Complete the remaining fields (Parent Item, Access Level, Published) based on your requirements for this menu item.
In the Parameters-Basic section (upper right):
Choose CiviCRM Task - select Profile Search and Listings OR Profile Create (for new contact input form).
Ignore the Contribution ID field (this is used when creating a menu item for Online Contribution Pages).
Enter the Profile ID using the numeric ID value you noted in the section above.
Do not modify the Reset field value (it should always be 1).
Repeat these steps as needed to add additional Event menu items.

System info as follows:

Hi Donald,
thank you for your reply. How can I check the hostnames?
Mike

Hi lobo,

I have checked the settings in:

<joomla_root>/components/com_civicrm/cvcrm.settings.php and <joomla_root>/administrator/components/com_civicrm/cvcrm.settings.php

I am installing on a Windows lap top and my host name is localhost. The site URL is http://localhost/joomla15/. Most of the functionality of Civcrm appears to work, all the graphics are present.

The settings appear to be consistant. Do you know what I should compare them to on the Joomla site?

Thnaks for your help
Mike
