New CiviMember Roles Sync Drupal module released today!

[posco]

Hello,

I work with a non-profit that provides Drupal development (among other things) to other non-profits. We have a client that wants to use CiviMember as a membership engine for their site. This meant that we needed a way to synchronize contacts that had certain CiviMember Membership Types to Drupal Roles so we could create a membership only section of the site. After searching the CiviCRM forums we found that this functionality didn't exist, so we started planning a module. I took on the job of doing the coding for the project.

So, today I'm glad to announce that we have released our first beta of the module, which can be found here:

http://drupal.org/project/civimember_roles

I know that this is a feature that has been requested and talked about a lot on the CiviMember boards (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,476.0.html) and I hope that people find it useful. I'm also currently planning a port of the module for the CiviCRM 2.0 alpha, but I want to work on a getting the first non-beta release out for CiviCRM 1.9 first. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as my testing capabilities are limited. Once I get enough feedback and feel confident enough in the code, I will release the first non-beta. I'm hoping that will happen before Feb. 13 as that is when our client needs this functionality by.

This will be a fantastic module!  Thank you very much for your contribution.

I will definitely try to help push this module out of the beta stages.

Today I released the first non-beta release. It fixes a critical bug and adds some new features. I also added a 2.0alpha1 version that works with CiviCRM 2.0 alpha 3. Let me know what you think.

You can get both versions here:

Less than a day later and I've already released version 1.1! It's a bug fix, but I suggest everyone using this module should update.

Thanks.

Is this package been maintained? I haven't seen a CiviCRM version 2.0 compatible version since civimember_roles 5.x-2.0-alpha2 release (which was release prior to CiviCRM 2.0 was released)

[posco]

There is a new dev version of version 2 that will work with CiviCRM 2.0. Please see the module's page for a link to the download.

Is the dev version of 2.0 functional and recommended for a live site?

There is now a final version of 2.0 which you can find at: http://drupal.org/project/civimember_roles

This can be used on a production server.
