I have went though the process of installing the AOP Customer Portal at one time. Before I upgraded to version 7.12.5. Today I was testing and realized that I cannot create a Portal User in Contacts.
I have went through all of the documentation and it appears I have everything setup correctly. However, in Contacts there is no place for me to enter a Portal Username. I have searched for resolutions here on the Forums with nothing working for me.
I understand that a username is needed along with the email address.
Anyone have any idea what I should check to fix this?
If I remember correctly you can’t edit the userame. It creates a username= email address.
I made a walkthrough video here:
How to Setup Case Management Joomla Portal
Thanks @pstevens but that video was for setting up Cases and Sending and Receiving Case Emails. You mentioned in the video about maybe doing a video on the Joomla Portal. Did not see one on You Tube under your channel or did I miss it?
Sorry, my bad. I could have sworn I covered the Joomla portal in that video. I guess that’s a great idea for my next video.
I am responding to just so there is a conclusion to my post.
I originally installed my dev system as a NON SSL system using version 7.8, then upgraded to 7.11.15 and then upgraded about 4 months ago or so to 7.12.5. Recently I added the companies SSL Certificate and all seemed well. I installed the Customer Portal while in version 7.8 or 7.11 don’t remember.
When debugging the Joomla code I kept getting an error message that the Contact module was not found when the Joomla code calls the API. So I was wondering if something had been removed from the 7.12 code as the documentation for API V4.1 states this:
This documentation pertains to SuiteCRM versions up to v.7.9.x. Since SuiteCRM version 7.10, a brand new v8 REST API is available.
So I started digging into the V8 API. The documentation on it makes this statement:
The SuiteCRM instance must be configured to use HTTPS/SSL
So since my system was not installed as SSL I wondered if I was missing anything. I finally determined that pat of my problem was that I did not have a .htaccess file in the SuiteCRM root folder. So I copied my production version which was installed as an SSL system. I did that yesterday. Once I did that, after a rebuild and repair, trying to create a Portal User the error message switched from the Create user failed missing username to just a Failed to create portal user.
Well this morning I get into the office and was ready to get started in digging in deeper. First I tried the create a Portal User just to make sure and the message I got was “Created portal user”.
I don’t know what all happens on the system over night but I suspect some caches are cleared and some other clean up is done. But what ever it did it the create portal user started working.
