As background information, all of our client's members are organizations. I see that if I select "on behalf of organization" and "membership section enabled" I get two copies of the profile on my page. So we won't do that.

However, neither option by itself records a membership in the membership dashboard when the profile is filled out in our tests. I have all the key fields; organization name, email, contact address and phone. I get no errors when saving the contribution page. I have no errors when submitting a live form. What am I missing?

  • Are you seeing the other info submitted in the profile? What version of CiviCRM are you using?

  • Yes, it's being deposited into the individual user profile, but I don't see an associated membership and if I try a new fictional organization, that name is not added as a new contact.

  • Have you done anything that would have altered the Employee of/ Employer of Relationship? as that is the basis of 'on behalf of'. If you are trying to record memberships without collecting any Individuals data then i think you will have problems doing so in civi pure. you may succeed via Drupal Webform or WP Caldera as they may sidestep that requirement

  • also perhaps add screenshots of you mean by 'two copies of profile'

  • Do I need to use the employee/employer relationship or can I use a custom relationship that I've created? We have somewhat complex relationships with organization members, organization administrators and 3rd party associate firms and their various contacts.

After much frustration and subsequent soul searching, contemplating the abyss of total consumption by the digital realm, a singular epiphany presented itself to me at the gates of Valhalla. It whispered in my ear, "you're using the wrong damn profile, you dimwit!"

I had built a custom profile where I should have used the default "on behalf of organization" profile. Much confusion ensued, until I figured out, what is now obvious.

Many thanks for all the help offered and time invested by those who guided this spirit quest.

  • Hmmm I cannot seem to be able to select this as an "Include Profile" option? What am I missing here.
