My module runs through a CiviCRM database and pulls out certain CiviCRM contacts that have membership status. The goal is to get this status synchronized to a Drupal role. There is a static method in the CiviCRM API called CRM_Core_BAO_UFMatch::getUFId(). This method will take a CiviCRM contact id and return its corresponding Drupal uid. I then take this list of uids and pass it to the user_multiple_role_edit() function. This function uses the user_save() function to apply role changes. I think that one of rallcivic's uids is causing an issue with this function. From reading the user_save() function's code I can see that it tries to create a new user if the uid doesn't exist. For some reason I think it is trying to do this on a valid uid, which throws a duplicate error that rallycivic has found in watchdog:<br> <br>"Location <a href="http://chelmsfordmc.co.uk/admin/settings/civimember_roles/manual_sync" title="http://chelmsfordmc.co.uk/admin/settings/civimember_roles/manual_sync" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://chelmsfordmc.co.uk/admin/settings/civimember_roles/manual_sync</a><br> Referrer <a href="http://chelmsfordmc.co.uk/admin/settings/civimember_roles/manual_sync" title="http://chelmsfordmc.co.uk/admin/settings/civimember_roles/manual_sync" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://chelmsfordmc.co.uk/admin/settings/civimember_roles/manual_sync</a><br> Message Duplicate entry '' for key 2 query: INSERT INTO users (uid, created, access) VALUES (404, 1202163268, 1202163268) in /home/chelmsf/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172."<br><br>Then the drupal_clone() function is called on a bogus object and throws the clone method error.
