i have finally set up my Checksum for profile update. However when link is clicked inside email i am getting this message- "This profile is configured for contact type 'Individual'. It cannot be used to edit contacts of other types. If I disable the Fist Name and Last Name fields for that profile it works.
Is there a way around this as i really need to have a First Name Last Name.
I'm not sure which CMS you are using but, per the civicrm wiki page, the URL Checksum for standard Profiles (edit mode) is as below:
To send people to a profile use this path where N is the ID of the Profile you want to send them to:
Drupal: http://www.myorganization.org/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=N&{contact.checksum}&id={contact.contact_id}
Joomla!: http://www.myorganization.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/edit&reset=1&gid=N&{contact.checksum}&id={contact.contact_id}
WordPress: http://www.myorganization.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/profile/edit&reset=1&gid=N&{contact.checksum}&id={contact.contact_id}
Hope this helps and solves your problem.
Are you sure you are sending your test email to an individual contact? if you have several contacts that have the same email address (eg [email protected]) that you associated both to your organisation and yourself, civimail might send it to the organisation instead of the individual.
take the id of the contact and view its record and double check it's an Individual.
