    This sounds interesting! I was thinking about single-sign-on between Moodle and Elgg. It should be quite easy to write an Elgg plugin which would check if the user is logged in in Moodle and log in the user in Elgg automatically. Shouldn't it? :)...
    • Have you had a look at Moodle->Site Administration->Users ->Authentication ->External Databases?

      You should be able to use that to get moodle to use the elgg users_entity table to share user names and passwords at least.

       

    • Using same user database with Elgg and Moodle should be pretty straightforward. But with SSO it would be possible to exchange information between the systems without the need to login to both systems. For instance, you could have an Elgg group to extend Moodle courses, like Dhrup described above. And you could have a block in Moodle displying latest activity from that Elgg group.

      Yes, we will have this all in action soon. We are in the way to lauch our moodle-elgg soup.

      Anyone has got a good name suggestion for the moodle-elgg combination?

    I start working on multisite on elgg 1.5rc You can see it running on the demo site The points are : - multisite is not compatible with simple cache, that mean that you have to disable simple cache. I made a trac about that, but the elgg team...
    • Hi Vinithia, sorry but a made a response to your post this morning and i cant see it now ... i surely did something wrong ....

      So

      1) do you use the multisite 2.0 (just to be sure :)) ?

      So you have to use admin->community->init multisite menu to set up your domain name. The plugin setting is not use any more, i just realize that i forgot to remove it, sorry

      Please try this and let me know what happens :)

    • Jake,

      You're posting duplicates ;-)

      "to get a site up and going rather quickly ... "

      'hurry => bad curry..." ;-) --- Why the hurry ? -- you know good thngs take time ( Justin is right -- if you're in real hurry.. CurveRider can most likely get you going faster )

      "I am on a time schedule and need to get a site up rather quickly... This site can be fairly simple to start I just need to get it going with a few parameters. "

      (1)    "A simple site" ==> yes, can be put up quickly - no frills, nothing fancy - This I could do quite easily !

      (2)    What are your realistic objectives ? You probaly will want to extract data from your MovieCoupons WordPress site and load to the new Elgg-based site, Correct ? If so -- this will take more effort.

      (3)    If you're lookingfor a quick simple to get going, but with some spice -- there are themes and ( hopefully easier ) customizations - eg CustomIndex which can do the job to sme degree. Further *customization => more effort.

      Have a browse around these ==
