Community Builder

Hello Joomdle Team,
When new users register, I'm receiving errors showing session info and not being logged into Moodle. Does your integration not work with Community Builder? Thanks!

Hi there,

It is not currently working with CB. This type of integration is on a planned list of things to do. A plugin was developed by Antonio for R0.22 and you can try this in your test environment to see if it achieves what you want. You can find the discussion in the Tips & Tricks section or here joomdle.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&...id=16&id=197&lang=en

Please let us know if this works for you.

Thank you for the speedy reply Chris. Do you think that this login module will work? It modifies the standard one to work with Kunena Boards.
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extensi...orum-extensions/9322

At least then could use the Kunena profile systems.

Hi.
Chris: the registerIOnly plugin has nothing to do with Joomdle. It is only a plugin that restrict Joomla access to registered users only. It supports CB, that is true.

maxiec: as Chris said, CB integration is on the feature requests list, and I think I will get into it soon, so I can send you an early copy when it is ready so you can help us test, as we don't really use CB.

Hey again,
So I'm going to set-up fresh installs of Joomla and Moodle, as I experimented with a bunch of other components prior to committing to use Joomdle. I see now I have to do some careful planning of which other components and modules, structuring them around a successful Joomla/Moodle integration.

-Does Joomdle currently work well with Joomsocial? I'd love to see a working example before committing to it.
-In addition to the Virtuemart, are there any other membership billing options that work with it? I really want the most simple registration and payment workflow possible.
Have you seen this Moodle hack designed to use Moodle with the e-junkie shopping cart?

-What SEF components have you had success using with Joomdle?

Wow so many things.

Joomdle is only a baby - a few months old. The two integrations being considered at the moment are VM for payment and jomsocial for user profiling. However VM has plenty of problems in its design making it difficult to please everybody or even a few more than a couple A few options with VM are being tested now to see how best to do it. On a different note and I am sure annoying Antonio I have started using Tienda in test as a replacement to VM, its already in beta and will clearly kill VM within a few months in terms of stability and flexibility (my opinion only ah). Also, it appears the integration will be much easier because of the design but still to be determined. I don't see how at this point, the new VM team will catch up to Tienda unless they magically pull a rabbit out. They are just too quiet about what is going on while with Tienda it already has tremendous support and activity. The problem with e-junkie is
1) it is moodle centric and 2) a hack. For 1) there are payment options available in moodle already such as paypal so why introduce another integration point? Especially one that is not native. Also 2), we are tying to avoid hacks as they cause support nightmares. Today, there is already a possible VM hack which could possibly give joomdle support to all VM payment processors but its a VM hack.

Then there is user profiling, etc. which currently I feel Jomsocial is the most functional and stable and fits the nicest into a educational community especially if you introduce multi-profile types for teachers, parents, kids --> maps nicely to moodles profiles. Personally I use Jomsocial supporting around 15-20K users (teachers, kids, and parents) and am dying to offer them an integrated course environment. I have been speaking the Anahita team but they are not ready yet to release (a few months away maybe weeks) then it will need to become stable/catch up with add-ins.

SEF (joomla basic) is supported already but its very new and perhaps not completely bug free yet. If you search this forum there are a few discussions on SEF but more work to be done still.

Thanks again Chris. It's very encouraging to here about the volume of users your Joomdle site is supporting!

So setting up an e-commerce enabled Joomdle site today, right now, VM is the best option? What if I only want people to pay for access to the site but not per class basis?
