Was there a Mambo/Joomla bridge available before the hack? I just got my site up and had been planning to use WoWRoster. Since this is my first time here I'm just not sure if this was an area to talk about Mambo/Joomla or if someone had actually managed the integration.

The only thing I remeber was some iframe code for joomla.

Thanks for the reply. Yea I'm not looking for what you're talking about. I can wrap up wowroster into my joomla site using a module. I didn't think anyone had built a bridge between the two. By bridge I mean a login bridge, where when i login into my joomla site it logs me into wowroster. When I learn more about joomla I might try to build one. Thanks again.

My roster is fully integraded with joomla.. along with a lot of other stuff...

I'd be happy to share my actions.. hehe.. check it out at

http://www.fc-guild.org

though register a user to see what's going on with the roster..

I didn't make it "public"

What actions did you take to do this?

I'll write a guide tomorrow

Cool Thanks

Allright..
Guide is done.. fixing layout so it's readable.. hehe

Thumann,

Nice work putting that guide together. Just want to note that what you describe in your guide is not a bridge per my original post. A bridge is a connection between the Joomla user and the target app user.

For instance, on my site my phpbb forums have a joomla bridge installed, which means that when a user logs in to joomla they are logged into the forums without having to login to both.

aye.. same on my site..

And as it says in the todo list.. i'm working on the last bits for that part aswell

and when the phpbb bridge is up..there's no 'trouble' bridging it with roster..

or.. the it wasn't in 1.6 anyways..

Take a look at how ive connected the 2 databases with fields in CB to make a list of people registered to the site. i would like to help people with projects.

Can you please make available this guide mentioned above. I can not find it anywhere and I would very much like to have it so I can fully integrate roster with my joomla guild page. thank you

The guide was, so far as i know, only for Roster 1.7.3.

I´ve ported the actual Roster Version 2.0.0 into a joomla component (only works with Joomla Versions 1.0.xx not 1.5).

The component (com_wowroster) fully integrates the roster into joomla. Even the userlogin from joomla. So if you´re logged in as "super administrator" in joomla, you´re even logged in as admin in com_wowroster.

All registered members in joomla, will be authorized as "guild" in roster, an all "administrator" in joomla as "officer" in roster.

So if you use joomla 1.0.xx try com_wowroster.

You can download com_wowroster here: http://www.webservice-hufen.de/downloads/com_wowroster_2000.zip

WoW.... You rock....!!!

This is pretty much what I was looking for.

Any plans to bring it up to Joomla 1.5 compliance?

how hard would it be to change the authorization for guild from registered to Author. As I do not just have guildies on the site but others I would like to restrict that to a higher user level.

No actual there are no plans to bring it up to Joomla 1.5. This is more complicated as for 1.0.xx, because of the new framework that is used in Joomla 1.5.

To change the authorization is not so hard.

Just open the file login.php in the directory /components/com_wowroster/lib and look at the lines start from 69 to 79. These lines are for authorizing joomla users in roster. So you only need to change the joomla usertype.

To change all Authors to become Guild status in Roster just edit line 77 from:

Code: Select all

elseif ((string)$my->usertype == "Registered") { 

to:

Code: Select all

elseif ((string)$my->usertype == "Authors") { 

Now all users with status "author" in joomla, will become automaticly "guild" status in roster.

Maybe you should replace "Authors" by "Author" i currently didn´t know all usertypes from joomla. But you can create a sample user with status "author" and then if you have any php skill, you can look in the $my array from joomla. There you find all data.
