Has anyone managed to get dual login working with jfusion and elgg ?
I am intersted in having elgg as the master and joomla as the slave.
I have it working when I log into joomla first and then go to my elgg homepage but
not the other way around
After examining the cookies that are created when doing an elgg logon and doing a joomla logon I notice that
Both logins create cookies with the domain of mydomain.com and with a path of / which is correct and what I am looking for
However, the joomla login creates a cookie with a name value that is a MD5 hash
Looking at the elgg source code, it creates and looks for a cookie called elggperm
How do I get the jfusion elgg plugin to generate a cookie with the name elggperm instead of MD5 hash and would that be enough to actually get this working? Would getting elgg generating a name that is an MD5 hash work. I note that it is a different MD5 hash than the cookies value field.
Has anyone got dual logon working?
I had been looking for a forum plugin or something that works quite seamlessly with ELGG. I eventually found threaded forums, which works great as a replacement to the group forums. Sadly, I was not able to incorporate it as a normal forum.
Then I found simple forum... but it was too simple. A basic, single default forum available to everyone instead of a single group. It worked as it said, but was too plain.
I then decided I was going to just clone the groups plugin and change the layout around a bit and make it more of a forum.
After failing to do that, as cloning a plugin as advanced as the groups plugin proved to be a bigger challenge then I had initially thought, I finally found this:
http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/595616/developer/openid_20296/forum
It was exactly what I needed. Simple but not too simple. It has forum categories, a pretty nice topic view layout, and the ability to close topics.
I hope this helps.
