Joomla to CiviCRM User Sync 2.1.1 Released!

Print

It's been 3+ years since I wrote the first release of the Joomla to CiviCRM user synchronization plugin. Based on some forum posts, it looks like the new releases of CiviCRM broke compatibility.

So, this weekend I found some time to fire-up my development environment and install CiviCRM 5.1.15 over Joomla 3.9.10 and Communuty Builder 2.4.2. I was able to fix the broken compatibility and add some more features in the process. Old plugin users will have to uninstall their previous version, install the new one and then reconfigure the plugin parameters.

This Joomla 3.x plugin will detect when a new user is added to your website through any Joomla or Community Builder user interface and automatically create (or update) the corresponding CiviCRM individual contact. This means that the following actions will trigger the integration process:

The plugin will detect what method was used and act accordingly:

If the registration email address already has one or more CiviCRM contacts, then the plugin will decide (based on plugin configuration parameters) which contact to use and how to proceed. The relevant plugin configuration parameter is called 'Multiple Contact Handling' and its value options are:

There are some additional cool integration features that the plugin supports:

I have some additional features in mind, but I am releasing 2.1.1 right away, It is free for downloading in our download section.

This plugin integrates the Joomla and/or Community Builder registration process with CiviCRM. Newly created Joomla website users (from Joomla or Community Builder frontend or backend) will be matched with existing CiviCRM contact(s) based on their email address. If no matching CiviCRM contact is found, a new one will be created and synchronized with the Joomla user. Newly created CiviCRM contacts can also be configured to be added to one or more CiviCRM contact groups/tags and to create a contact note. Finally the plugin can also be configured to attach and assign a new CiviCRM activity to the contact.

Did you publish it and configure it?
It does not do a full sync - it just makes sure that new registrations on your site get to civi properly configured based on plugin parms.
