Alfresco Module for Joomla!

[dhjiz]

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 Alfresco, and the passwords are the same too.

The problem is, I just have the hash of the passwords in Joomla and Alfresco, and for the same password, they are not identical. I would like to know if there's a way to get a user connected, having the admin login and password, or any other solution. I have many idea for the authentication but no one is really satisfying.

Thanks.

Please

could someone answer my questions

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:

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

Can you connect as Guest via the Alfresco PHP Library

Ok, my questions are :

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the Full name and the email address of an Alfresco user with the Alfresco PHP Library, onced logged in to the repository ?

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.

Do you know if it's possible to connect as guest with the alfresco php library ?

Thanks

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,

Cheers,
