Hello, I was wondering how it would be done to allow multiple networks under one big social site.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to have one social site where the users don't join but have join through a network. a network would be a company. So the owner of the company would sign up and they would have a company blog page/ users and what not.. but for the users to sign up they have to sign up through a company. The users have a profile and can do private messaging. but don't have a blog.
Thanks
Matt

You must log in to post replies.Federated Elgg sites and cross-domain authentication ;-)
why do you need several networks here?
Anyways... about the federated web sites, i'm working on adding ostatus (and other protocols) support for elgg, all aimed at being able to have federation support on elgg, that allows people on different sites to communicate and collaborate effectively.
I don't understand your use case very well, but if it really needs several networks, a few things are working already with ostatus and friends among them sending elgg messages through networks (using salmon and mutant activitystreams), friending across networks, joining remote groups, commenting... [1] This can be used in many ways though, so we're still experimenting with this.

Not too strange a request ;-)
One of my biggest clients has a moodle site "ABC.org" When students worldwide graduate from courses - their credentials, profiles, avatars, etc are copied from moodle over to their elgg-based social network ALUMNI.ABC.org --> with the exact same UID & PWD as on moodle. So now the students can "socialize" amongst themselves.. regarding their courses and similar subject matter.
Its not cross domain its all on the same site. mydomain.com/group/
but to become a user for the social site you have to be part of the group. So you would register with the group.
I think you mean like MultiSite http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/alivin70/read/384902/multisite-pack I'm not sutre what development is going on... check ou their group http://community.elgg.org/pg/groups/21771/multisite/
@MB
MultiSites is quite irrelevant because it does not address the crucial issue that @TD is looking for.
@TD
"Cross-Domain" Vs "Non-Cross-Domain" does not matter ;-) The technology will be the same..
Register on one site "A" gives your users the ability to login to site "B" - where site "B" happens to be elgg-based. This has been done already - as you can see via the Moddle-Elgg interfacing I mentioned above.
