Alfresco Module for Joomla!

dhjiz — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 10:40:44 GMT

Hi,I'm currently making a "Bridge to Alfresco" module for Joomla. Using the Alfresco PHP Library, included with the module, I have a problem now for authentication.To get access to the Alfresco Repository, I would like to use the joomla users. I admit that the users are the same in Joomla and Alfres

Hi,

A Joomla integration sounds really interesting and something I'm sure we would be keen to find out more about.

There are a coiuple of ways in which you could integrate the Joomla and Alfresco users. Perhaps a bit more details will suggest which is the best way to go.

Cheers,
Roy

I talked to someone on the joomla-dev chat on freenode, and he said i must make a plugin to manage the authentication of the users to Alfresco, and then a component to permit browsing through the Alfresco spaces.

So now I'm trying to understand how do joomla plugins work.

Coincidentally, Slashdot has just posted a review of the book "Learning Joomla! 1.5 Extension Development"

Obviously 1.5 is still pre-release, but this may be of use anyway.

See: http://books.slashdot.org/books/07/08/15/1423212.shtml

Thanks,
Mike

Please, do you have an answer ?

thanks

EDIT: i'm making a model-view-controller component for Joomla, but I don't see what I can do in the model. Do you think I need a model ? I think no, that's why my model is empty for now.

Dhjiz,

I am interested in your integration. What are the objectives of the integration?

alfresco users can log in to joomla with their alfresco username and password. I made a joomla plugin for that.

and then alfresco users can view their documents, once logged in to the repository thanks to the plugin.

They can browse spaces and download documents. And because they are logged in with their alfresco user account, the component uses the alfresco permission of the user for displaying documents.

But i'm still wondering how to get the Full name and the email address of an Alfresco user with the Alfresco PHP Library.

EDIT: oh and I forgot to say that the plugin and the component are finished and working, although there are still some bugs.

To make the component, I took the whole Simple Browse example included with the Alfresco PHP Library, and I was wondering what were licensed the source code and the included images and Alfresco logo.

EDIT2: oh and another question
Do you know if it's possible to connect as guest with the alfresco php library ?

I don't have the answers, but I thought it might be easer if we pulled them out. They are mixed with statements in the post and kind of get lost:

Hi,

Getting information about users is not yet possible dirrectly in the PHP library yet. (we need to add API around this)

You can however use the Web Service API directly to do this.

I'll try and get and example together for you,
