Building a bridge between Joomla and eGroupware -
I am trying to create an integrated login and user management system between Joomla and eGroupware, ideally the driver's look In with Joomla That is, users will log in to Joomla and pass their credentials in the aggregate so that they can follow a link on EGW and do not log in again. Apart from this, administrators can add new users (or update existing user information) in Joomla and those changes are also reflected in EGW.
I tried but I had to try to do all this that synchronizing passwords between existing users is both in the documentation (matching on their user names) in Portuguese, so I can remember something in the translation is. Apart from this, I have examined Jeffusion, but so far there is nothing available for EGW for a bridge.
Any general advice about moving forward is greatly appreciated. I have some Joomla experience, but writing extensions / modules is not much; Would it be easy for me to change something like Jeffusion or something like that or write something myself?
The best way is to write two Joomla plugins: a authentication
type that will create sessions in EGD when someone joomla , Then respond to an onAfterStoreUser
event from the user
type and update the eGW in the profile. In this way, you will not either hack Joomla or EGW. Here is a tutorial on creating authentication
plugins for Joomla: Creating a user
plugin will be a similar process, only you will respond to onAfterStoreUser
event.
