CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Under advanced options for a profile, there is a checkbox for this:

Drupal user account registration option?
If you are using this profile as a contact signup form OR using it in an online contribution page, anonymous users will be given the option to create a Drupal User Account as part of completing the form. This feature requires the 'Email Verification' option to be checked (Drupal User Settings). In addition, you must include a Primary Email Address field in the profile.

However, when I check that, it doesn't seem to do anything?

Thanks!

Note that this feature ONLY works with Drupal 5.x. I'm pretty sure this is in the documentation/help file, but might be mistaken. We try to detect the drupal version before displaying the checkbox etc

What happens in the non-standalone case? When you view the page in the profile mode? i.e. q=civicrm/profile/create&reset=1&gid=XXX

Also can you reproduce the problem on demo and let us know what you see and what you expect. might make things a bit clearer for us

thanx

Also, our last item on the profile also does not show up on that profile page. It's a series of checkboxes for how you want to help out the campaign.

Here's the standalone page:
http://www.friendsofcyreena.com/volunteer

Here's the CiviCRM created page:
http://www.friendsofcyreena.com/civicrm/profile/create&reset=1&gid=2

I verified the volunteer item is indeed still part of the profile.

I just recreated the form over at the demo site. I didn't make it quite as long, though (no address or phone numbers). Everything shows there, though. So I am at a bit of a loss as to why the checkboxes aren't showing on our site.

Make sure you have enabled: "access all custom data" in your drupal permissions for anonymous users

This was a 1.7 change

That indeed was the problem. I set that access item, and now all items show up.

I ended up copying the source code from that page and then using it to create a page. I needed something where the initial text could be easily changed by the campaign, and the look of the page was easy for them to control as well. I didn't want them to have to come to me all the time for such minor changes.

I then tested the page as an Anonymous user, and it worked great. All the information was stored and the Drupal account was created.

Not having the page recognize whether or not you're logged in wasn't such a big deal for us, since user accounts are there strictly for being able to update your CRM data (other than the site admin, of course).

I'd recommend adding a bit about the Drupal reg item not showing on stand-alone pages like the Captcha text does.

Thanks for the help!

I don't feel real strongly about it, but I could definitely see other people maybe feeling that way. It wasn't a huge deal to just copy the source code from the page and then create my own page. I then had full control over the look of the page.

I just like the idea of it allowing the creation of the account right there. On other sites, we've had to put a blurb about the need to create a log-in and then link them off to the registration page. Having the log in feature right there is a good thing to have.
