JOOSCO: An Alfresco extension for Joomla!

[dhjiz]

EDIT: The first release of the Joosco Extension is available at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/joosco/

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 the clear password of the users in order to authenticate them to the Alfresco repository.

Thanks.

Dhjiz.

Finally I've found tutorials for making an MVC component for Joomla 1.5, and the v0.1 of the extension is finished and will be released soon.

Now, for the v0.2 I would like to manage internationalisation, but the Joomla tutorial for that doesn't exist. I'll search for resources. If someone have any resources about this, please post it here.

Thanks.

Hi, how are you?????

It sounds nice the utility......but maybe i have some questions.

I´m new using Joomla..... I don´t know if Joosco can be installed in Joomla 1.0.13....this is the version i´m using....although before i was using Joomla 1.5 RC2 (i changed because i couldn´t find some extensions i need).

Another question, i have checked with the phpinfo.php if i have PHP SOAP installed.....the result is i don´t have yet.
I have downloaded it (SOAP-0.11.0.tar), but i don´t know where i can put the folder...

Please, can you help me?

Thanks in advance and thanks to upload the Joosco extension.

Joosco is made to work only with Joomla 1.5 RC and above.

Well, I used Debian to install the PHP-SOAP extension, using apt-get, I don't know how to install it manually, it depends on your distribution.

I'm trying to use joosco-v01 from sourceforfe.
I'm using Joomla 1..5.17 and Alfresco 3.

1. Do you know if Joosco-v01 will work with these versions of Joomla & Alfresco ?

2. Though I'm logged in Alfresco, I'm getting this error message in Joomla frontend.

'You are not logged in to Alfresco, so we can't provide any documents. It can happen if the Joomla and Alfresco user names or passwords don't match, or if you're not logged in to Joomla.'

My joomla & alfresco username & passwords are same.
Is there a place (script) that I can debug & verify this ?

Do you have any documentation/tutorial somewhere ?

Thanks in advance,
code-tweetie

I got the problem solved.
Actually I hadn't setup the joosco plugin properly configured.

Thanks to dhjiz for joosco.

Hi, i've just downloaded and installed Joosco v0.1 and have the same problem. I have Joomla 1.5.20 and Alfresco 3.3g on the same Ubuntu virtual machine, if i connect to joomla with http://192.168.44.133/joomla with my user (admin) i can login to joomla, if i do the same with http://192.168.44.133:8080/alfresco with same user and same password i can login to alfresco.
I've setted up joosco plugin to this URL http://192.168.44.133:8080/alfresco/api and when i click on the menu item create as in the INSTALL doc i have this error:

"You are not logged in to Alfresco, so we can't provide any documents. It can happen if the Joomla and Alfresco user names or passwords don't match, or if you're not logged in to Joomla."

How did you solved this isssue ? Is there a log file or something else to read ?
Thanks

Hello,
When installing joosco plugin under joomla 1.5, I obtain the following message :
JInstaller::install: Echec lors de la copie du fichier : /var/www/localhost/htdocs/joomla/tmp/install_4c9510ded605c/plug_joosco/joosco.php vers /var/www/localhost/htdocs/wsite/plugins/authentication/joosco.php
Have you a solution?
Thanks

Hi, I installed the plugin and component joosco okay, but when I enabled the plugin, logins fail, own login he needs to make the connection to the alfresco, when I tried to go get a administrator he always gives error...

Anyone know why the plugin is activated when he blocked the logins on joomla??
