Joomla! Discussion Forums

I managed to lose the admin rights on Joomla...... *sigh*

any ways to make a admin trough the forum and/or how to I activiate the old login files without the admin panel?


Edit ; using phpbb3

Thanks

This seems to be a very common problem, as I'm having it as well.  I don't know where to report it too either, and no one seems to have an answer short of disabling the bridge.

I'm constantly getting "username and password don't match" even though the username and password are correct and the same for both the Joomla account and the phpbb account of the same name.

Is everybody that is using Jfusion with phpbb3 having this problem or is it just a minority doing something wrong in the install?

Hi, sounds really interesting. Im using BBPixels bridge for a long time now but always open for new things Does vbulletin 3.7 RC work yet with JFusion and Joomla 1.5 or does this require some extra work to be finished?

I did it, read carrefourly prev. posts!
You have to access the joomla database with phpmyadmin, and access the table jos_plugins.
Here put to 1 the published field of User - Joomla! and Authentication - Joomla then put to 0 Jfusion's two.
Thats all.
Bye

I have Joomla and VB 3.6.8 with jfusion extension installed and all tests pass in the configuration window of jfusion in the joomla admin panel. When I login to the jfusion login box I get logged in off of my main page. When I hit the forums button on my page the new window with VB is not logged in

I think the cookies for both are not being generated somehow... any thoughts?

Here is my website: http://wgs.sbservers.com/

Can anyone still access the Joomla Admin component with this component enabled?

Waiting for release on joomla 1.12 release..
Looking deeper at the script this work got many potential.

does this support 1.12 and VB3.7?

thanks

Sounds great! Since you seem to know a lot about this, would you be able to implement this in JFusion? I am tied up at the moment with user sync and upgrading the framework to allow multiple simultaneous integrations.


You will need to use the admin username/password of the forum database with the JFusion 1.01 release, as all Joomla users are locked out. Since this seems to be a common problem, in the next release the admin user won't be able to get locked out this easily. As the user "admin" will default to super administrator rights. (if the permissions where not correctly setup in the custom profile field, the message would also display "username/password do not match") The next release won't use the "custom profile field setup" anymore and therefore people should not have these setup issues with the next release.


JFusion will never support Joomla 1.0.x, as it is dependent on the beautiful Joomla 1.5 framework.


The best way to troubleshoot this is to look at the cookies that are generated using firefox. First clear all cookies, then login to Joomla and see which cookies are generated. Then clear all cookies again and login to vbulletin. Then compare the vbulletin cookies generated by Joomla and vbulletin itself. Since cookies depend on the vbulletin license number, "hacked" versions of vbulletin won't work with JFusion.

Thanks, Marius

Any support forums setup yet?

I have tested this with 1.5rc4 and phpbb and have same Joomla admin login issues as others.
One thing I did do on install of Joomla and phpbb was I used same admin username for both.
I saw in last posy you stated that the Joomla login would be locked out and you would need to use the phpbb login....mine are the same and with the plugins for Jfusion enabled I am locked out of Joomla admin.

One more thing...both installs are fresh installs with no other addons to either one.

They should be up and running sometime next week



You also should have correctly setup the custom profile field AND set this custom profile field of the admin user to Super Administrator inside phpBB. This will be easier in the next release (approx 14th of January) Sorry for the inconvenience, but my time is currently better spent working on the next release and you might have to wait patiently for JFusion 1.02.

Cheers, Marius

Posting this so that it may help others and a few issues I found with the instructions.

I selected to have the custom profile automaticly created for me and it seem that it was created correctly.
When I tried to add the field manualy the instructions were not clear for the setup of the field. The instructions were telling what fields to set and the setting for the field but there were no options or fields for phpbb that jfusion was instructing to create.
I went through all the options and could not find the selection it was telling me to create for manual setup of the field.

PHPBB_CREATE_FIELD_MANUAL
In the phpBB admincp, select "user profile fields", "add new user profile field","Single-Selection Menu"("Single -Selection Menu" Not nat an option in phpbb3) and "continue".

You can give the field any name or description. Under options please copy and paste the following list:

Public Frontend
Registered
Author
Editor
Publisher
Public Backend
Manager
Administrator
Super Administrator


Then change the following settings:
* field editable by user: NO
* Private field: YES
* Field Searchable on Members List: NO
* Show on Members List: NO
* Allow user to input their own value for this option: NO

Then click save. In the jfusion component you can now select your newly created field.

Some thoughts on JFusion as it applies to "new and exciting" ecommerce solutions

See my post here:

Hi Gtunney,

Seems that on your installation Joomla can not find the language file. Sent me an email mariusvr at gmail.com) ) on which Joomla language you are using and I will create a fix for this.

Cheers, Marius

Sure, I'll look on it

Multiple simultaneous integrations... sounds really promising =)

JFusion now has its own website and support forums. You can see this on: http://www.jfusion.org

News on the upcoming release of JFusion is also on this website. Cheers, Marius

Sweet! Yeah baby!

I have just finished the JFusion developers guide ahead of the next release of JFusion. To get an idea how to develop a new JFusion plugin go to:

Please register on: http://www.jfusion.org/phpbb3

I had no troubles registering a new account with the email address: mail@my-name.co.uk

Hello Marius,

I started playing with JFusion and it seems realy good. I'm creating my first plugin and have a question and I would love if you could help me:

- As JFusion doesn't use joomla's database as the master database, how do you handle the user groups? How do you differ backend users from frontend users?


cheers,
bigo

The usergroup used to be stored in a custom profile field in the forum database, but people had problems setting this up and it has been removed in JFusion 1.0.2. The username "admin" with the password of the admin forum user, is a Joomla "Super Administrator", all other users are "Registered". A full usergroup system will be reinstated in the near future.

Cheers, Marius

Hello Marius,

I've managed to bridge Joomla! and Magento users. but my "admin" user stopped working. Wasn't it supose to validate "admin" against Joomla's database? I'm not able to test the official jfusion plugins because I don't have any forum installed here hehehe

BTW, I'm using JFusion 1.0.2alpha

Oh, and I would like to make a suggestion:

Wouldn't it be better if you create a authentication object instead of calling abstract methods in jfusion_auth plugin?

That way we wouldn't need to re-validate the username inside every method (getuser, getencryptedpassword and generateencryptedpassword). We could simply set a $user object and wouldn't need 3 sql queries for the same row

cheers,
bigo

Marius, I've fixed my problem with admin user changing the if($jname) in authentication and user plugins.

In "authentication" I've changed to (line ~51):


and in "user" (line ~82):


now, if the user is "admin", jfusion doesn't even try to load his plugins and use default joomla authentication.


All the best,
bigo

Thanks Bigodines for your bug report and providing the solution at the same time. Your fix has been included in JFusion 1.0.3.

Next step will be to have an option for Joomla to be the master again of user registration. This will allow other Joomla components to fully work again too (such as Community builder).

Would love to include your magento JFusion plugin in the official JFusion release.

Cheers, Marius

Add another person who would love to see this work with IPB

I think IPB would be the best choice for jFusion, as IPB is so versatile and very popular ...
I have had only 2+ years experience with IPB, but even for a noob like me i have succesfully managed to create a couple Bridge type mods for my personal use.
I am interested to have a play with this.

or see what progress has developed with jFusion and IPB to date

I run several large private sites running vBulletin.  Is it possible with this integration to have joomla content/modules only accessible to certain vBulletin groups?

Thanks,
Cronix

ACL is not really implemented in Joomla 1.5, which means you can not show a Joomla module to only a specific user group.

However, you would be able to program an activity module that show all public posts, when not logged into Joomla. And when the user is logged in, show all posts from the forums that the user has access to.



You can have a look at the developers guide on the jfusion website to see what is involved in writing a jfusion plugin. An other user has already used this guide to write his own myBB JFusion plugin. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers, Marius

mariusvr, can you put the jfusion URL in your signature ?  It'll help people find jfusion.org !
