Checkout Rules - Anonymous user purchasing a role on site not given role

Yeah, you cannot give anonymous users roles, and since you're using the [site:current-user] token, that's exactly what your Rule is attempting to do. What you really want is to assign the role to [commerce-order:owner].

Thanks for that trevorkjorlien, Your way is better then Randy Fay's http://vimeo.com/channels/commerceguys/page:2 (love Randy Fay's Work!) being right in commerce Checkout Rule is better then a rule out side of commerce. This kinda over rides the commerce subscription module. i will be getting back to what You wrote in the post above, i need this also. The way i see it in the product You need to add role reference field then make the action create role equal to that field. i will post it after i get it.

Thanks for the how-to post,

I grant a role after the customer buys a product with this rule. Import and substitute YOUR_SKU_GOES_HERE with your SKU. About the role (user_add_role), number 4 is the id of the role the user is given, it might be different in your situation:

{ "rules_grant_role_if_license_purchased" : {
    "LABEL" : "Grant role if license purchased",
    "PLUGIN" : "reaction rule",
    "WEIGHT" : "6",
    "REQUIRES" : [ "commerce_order", "rules", "commerce_checkout" ],
    "ON" : [ "commerce_checkout_complete" ],
    "IF" : [
      { "commerce_order_contains_product" : {
          "commerce_order" : [ "commerce-order" ],
          "product_id" : "YOUR_SKU_GOES_HERE",
          "operator" : "\u003E=",
          "value" : "1"
        }
      }
    ],
    "DO" : [
      { "user_add_role" : {
          "account" : [ "commerce-order:owner" ],
          "roles" : { "value" : { "4" : "4" } }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

I had the same issue as the original poster - changing the weight of my rule assignment rule to activate after "Create a new account for an anonymous order" worked.

@trevorkjorlien #4

Perhaps this can be achieved by applying a taxonomy term to each product and using that to control which role is applied?

@leopitt --

I also need this fucntionality.

Though I have 3 roles to apply but it will reduce my effort as I am setting expire date too with different product & that is resulting me with 12 rules set...

Thanks.

@ressa --

Thanks Man...it simply worked like charm...

My question is how does an anonymous user know how to log in to get his access? If the user is being assigned a username based on his email associated with the purchase...... and they don't create a password.....how can they log in to retrieve the membership access content?? Is there a way to place a password field in the checkout process so the user can log in after their purchase?

Also, I keep getting this message: "Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in rules_action_user_add_role()". Although, the role assignment seems to be working properly.

Thanks,
James

Anonymous users who have accounts created for them during the checkout process should receive the new account notification e-mail upon checkout completion.

Works with Example Payment method but not with Paypal Sandbox
Adding additional role to logged in user - on successful payment.

My rules export --

{ "rules_custom_role_assign_business_" : {
    "LABEL" : "Custom - role assign  (business)",
    "PLUGIN" : "reaction rule",
    "WEIGHT" : "-4",
    "REQUIRES" : [ "commerce_order", "rules", "commerce_payment" ],
    "ON" : [ "commerce_payment_order_paid_in_full" ],
    "IF" : [
      { "commerce_order_contains_product" : {
          "commerce_order" : [ "commerce_order" ],
          "product_id" : "sp_business",
          "operator" : "=",
          "value" : "1"
        }
      }
    ],
    "DO" : [
      { "user_add_role" : {
          "account" : [ "site:current-user" ],
          "roles" : { "value" : { "225899113" : "225899113" } }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Remember, unless your site is online and can actually receive IPNs from PayPal, the order will never be marked as paid. I'm guessing that's why your rule works fine for the example payment method (it immediately creates the payment transaction) and not for PayPal.

Hello! my functions are OK, but there is always this error message.
What can I do?

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in rules_action_user_add_role() (Line 45 off /www/htdocs/XXXXX/XXXX/sites/all/modules/rules/modules/user.eval.inc).

Sounds to me your order doesn't have an owner yet or something. You may need to explicitly save the order earlier after the user account is created for it. That said, let's not use this unrelated issue to carry that on further; there may even be a bit of a bug report for you to post in Rules.

Might want to checkout this module, too: https://drupal.org/project/commerce_license
