Hi
I have a webform to that is completed by unauthorised users and creates an individual contact record and a linked organisation record in civicrm. This all works fine however what I would like to happen is for a Drupal account to be created for the individual at the same time. Is this possible?
Regards
Julie

colemanw commentedThis request has come up a couple times, but it's not exactly a webform_civicrm issue. If webform had a feature that could create a user account from a webform, then it shouldn't matter much if this module is installed or not.
http://drupal.org/project/webform_registration provides this functionality.
Please test it with this module and post any issues.
Also note that CiviCRM allows profiles to be embedded in the user/register page, which is another solution which wouldn't require this module at all.

ajfasano commentedI was perusing the issues and I saw this. I know this is an old issue but it is still open so I figured I would point anyone interested in creating a user using this module to the following link:
https://civicrm.org/blogs/jackrabbithanna/drupalcivicrm-integration-civi...
However, I am using something from the CiviCRM Cookbook. Chapter 7 has a section entitles "Creating user accounts on the fly with CRM Entities". Shows how to use Rules and CiviCRM Entities to create a user from a contact when it is tagged. We use that recipe in conjunction with the webform civicrm tags functionality to create a user ( if one does not exist ) after the webform is submitted.

jkingsnorth commentedThe CiviCRM Entity + Rules approach seems to be the 'standard' approach at the moment. I've added this to the documentation, so I'll mark this issue as fixed.
