Integrate NinjaBoard registration with JomSocial?

Reply Topic
Link to this post 29 Aug 09

I thought that when I first installed NinjaBoard before the last two updates, that people who clicked the register button on NB were redirected to JomSocial registration. But right now it goes to NB registration.

Am I missing something? How do I send people to register in JomSocial instead of NB?

Hi Trishah,

I am not sure we have changed anything specifically to do with registration (are your sure it did it originally?)

i dont know if our development on ninjaboard has started on cross community support yet so i wonder if it worked in the first place

i am not on the ninjaboard team but i will certainly ask the team

It should be easy enough to change the Registration link to point to the JomSocial page, but the question then is whether the user will have access to NB after logging into JomSocial.

We need to get a copy of JomSocial off Azrul to test this.

At the current time, when people log in to JomSocial their user/pw logs them into NB so I don't see a problem with changing the link.

You'll have to forgive me because I've been coding so many projects the last couple months I might now not be remembering clearly about how it originally worked.

One of the reasons I chose to use NB on our (what is sure to be a large community site once it launches) was that NinjaForce was going to work closely with JomSocial to integrate the two profile systems. Now I know that is in the future but I decided to take the chance because I believe in your work and your communication has been excellent. So I look forward to the day when they work together.

So...

My reason for asking this was a support question I received today (we are in pre-pre-launch phase :-). Apparently (I think) this gentleman registered for the site with NB and the following happened. I can not reproduce it. You have any ideas what he may have done? If you need to play with it yourself, please email me here trishah(at)trishah(dot)com and I'll give you the link to the site.

Hi.

I had clicked the Forum Verification link I entered my username and new password on the page I arrived at. I was then asked for my e-mail address ? I filled it in and I received this e-Mail ?

My Username is xxxxxxx password xxxxxxx NickName Cupper

I hope you can clarify this situation.

if you need an copy of jomsocial i can send to you, i bought it from them if you want to test i can send to you also with the latest beta release that should be release around late september, early october

Hi Trishah,

I would recommend turning off registration in NB, and just putting a module with a link to the registration page (e.g. your normal login module)

NB is currently undergoing a rebirth of sorts with the whole backend getting cleaned up and replaced. Functionality is almost identical though so don't worry, we just wanted the code to be cleaner, faster, more secure and less bug prone.

That should be finished in the next day or so. After which we will be starting on a revamp of the front end, which should take one to two weeks, three at the outside.

The very next thing we will do is the social integrations for Jom social and CB. So they will be in place in around 3 weeks.

If you have any preferences for features, now is the time to ask!

e.g. (the basics)

- Avatar integration
- Registration
- Login
- Profiles

Anything else you think it needs?

Link to this post 15 Sep 09

Just the usual suspects ;->

1. Fix the error with posts to private threads showing up in the current posts section.

2. More/Prettier smilies, or/and the ability to add our own smilies (one of my users requested this... but I like pretty things too, ;-)

3 Simplier css structure.

4. Deleted thread/posts go into a "holding tank" until admin decides to permanently delete.

5. Ability to embed videos in a post rather than just a link to them.

And I'll ask my "Site Magistrate" aka Head Moderator if there is anything he can think of.

Link to this post 15 Sep 09

I meant in relation to Social engine integrations :) All of these are already on our list.

Stian is down with the Swine Flu right now so we might be a few days late with the next NB release.

Link to this post 15 Sep 09

OH! ;-)

My preference would be to have the JomSocial profile be the profile for NB. And that the JomSocial profile would accept any enhancements that NB would want to add in the future. For instance, if NB wants to give users another section to customize, then it should be able to be edited through JomSocial.

Likewise, the login for NB should link to the JomSocial login if that is what the site has choose as default login. The same with registration.

The bottomline for me would be that there is only one profile on a site, and when a community script like JomSocial is present that should be the only place a member has to go to make changes.

That better ;->

Link to this post 16 Sep 09

The correct answer is - I would like there to be no need for Jom Social, because Ninjaboard expanded upon the profile it has now, which is as flexible as CB or JomScl, only it is currently lacking a plugin and tab system.

;) Or I could be dreaming of 2012

Link to this post 16 Sep 09

Man, like I always say... you are good! That is EXACTLY what I meant!

I must have mis-typed... I need that new button on my keyboard, you know, the "DWIM" button. Never heard of it? Well, you know, "Don't do what I'm TELLING YOU, DO WHAT I MEAN!"

Don't get too excited though, and definitely don't hold your breath, as this will be a while away.

Once...

- NB is fully converted to use the Koowa framework
- And integrated with our own add on to the Koowa framework - Napi (Ninja Api)
- We have cleaned all the bugs out
- Released a Stable
- Integrated a plugin system

Then we can start looking at this. :s

Link to this post 16 Sep 09

just to add

first two points there

- NB is fully converted to use the Koowa framework
- And integrated with our own add on to the Koowa framework - Napi (Ninja Api)

make all the further points much easier and quicker to do :) so maybe 2011 :P (jokes)

Link to this post 18 Sep 09

yes koowa framework, let me also ask is nb will be able to use something like rokbox in the forum, for uploaded images. i would love if NB have an lightbox, or rokbox feel to it also, and with an great plugin system i also have to add that this will also enable other developers to expand on the framework great work, i hope this is released soon stable so i can put in my site.

ill work on an jomsocial plugin for NinjaBoard, ill post back with attachment, for others to test

I'm glad you're interested in developing this. It's great to know you're interested in growing NinjaBoard just like we are :)
However, I strongly suggest you wait about 2 weeks before you begin on this. By then NinjaBoard 1.0 should be released, and will be vastly different from the current version. You will have many headaches if you have to rebuild your jomsocial integration to work with NB 1.0

yes thank your for your quick response am only doing this now, to test, while ninjaboard grows, ill make other changes to code to reflect 1.0 if changes need to be made. besides building the pluging for ninjaboard and jomsocial shouldn't be that hard. am almost done with it. ill post in an little while when am done. so others can test it.

I look forward to seeing it in action :)

oka here it is its suppose to show post you made from NB in your jomsocial page, see attachment below any issues let me know ill fix just install it as how you would any jomsocial plugin or joomla plugin publish it and test it with your NB forum and see if the post comes up on your page you can also set the amount of post you want to show up.

just an update i need to make one more small update then i re-upload the plugin i found an bug on my end.

Link to this post 18 Sep 09

WOW that was fast. Great news indeed.
BTW since this is a jomsocial/joomla plugin, not an NB one... my comment earlier about it possibly breaking in NB 1.0 is probably invalid :)

I look forward to the finished plugin.

Link to this post 18 Sep 09

ya it won't break it i went to create the jomsocial plugin instead of an NB one, since users are going to use the NB for post and such and want to see those post in there profile, once am done fixing my query in db, ill work on an nb plugin for jomsocial when 1.0 is out. infact ill work on it now just to have an skeleton

ran into some issues, with db query, ill post back once query is updated..

Link to this post 18 Sep 09

I don't have jomsocial but Stian will test this on his dev site when you sort out all the issues.

Awesome of you to have done this... highly appreciated. I'm sure our other members will be very happy about it.

Enjoy your Gold subscription :)

Link to this post 18 Sep 09

BTW I just saw your PM, thanks.

I lead the design team and will be creating templates for NinjaBoard after it is stable, but I have almost zero knowledge about PHP.

Stian is the developer working on the coding of NinjaBoard right now. I have forwarded your message to him and hopefully he will be able to help when he comes online later.

Cheers

Hi Aurorathemes,

First off I'm impressed by how quickly you wrote that JomSocial plugin, respect!

Secondly, I tried your first query, and got it working with this:
http://snipt.net/stipsan/nb-query-for-jomsocial-plugin?key=9e302e03f4ae7421f06038d495afab84

I'll give the second query a go.

Cheers,
Stian

Link to this post 18 Sep 09

The second query was a bit messed up at the end part, might be our PM system or FireBoard causing it,
but the errors I found was just a couple.
You where trying to get data from the table jos_ninjaboard_post, which should be jos_ninjaboard_posts.
and had a WHERE clause like this: AND a.hold = 0, and that column don't exist either.

Anyways, I got the second query working using this:
http://snipt.net/stipsan/second-nb-query-for-jomsocial-plugin?key=416309b56b1d5cc5588549321acde264

Let me know if you get it working using these snippets :)

Link to this post 18 Sep 09

As a user (not a developer) of NB I want to also thank aurorathemes for his work on this plugin to get users NB posts to show up on their JomSocial profile. It's like MyBlog plugin for NB. I think members will really like this, especially those who would rather "forum" than "blog".

My only concern with it is, as an admin, I would like members to see my NB posts as long as my posts to our private moderators forum does not show on my profile. There is a bug in the current NB that allows these posts to be seen in the "Recent Posts" section.

Other than that, great work. I look forward to trying it out with my community once you get a solid version, and most likely after NB1.0 is out.

thank you so much, i fell asleep at the computer, i was so tired, and wanted to finish it, am glad this is an step now, ill add the query now. to the plugin and see how things are. also if anyone wants the code i can post it here. ill modify it once 1.0 stable is out, for more features, on the plugin, right now, i just want it to show the post made from users in the NB on there profile.

the private stuff ill look into that when i get the chance. for now we wait on 1.0 stable till things start work.

i will be making my first NB template soon, one dat match one of RT templates and others, ill post it here. when i finish getting this plugin working, the plugin is for NB members, as for templates designing the templates i don't think will be that hard, i like the fact that the NB system makes it easy to design templates, if your dev team need the upcoming beta release of jomsocial i can send its jomsocial 1.5.255, spoke with one of there developers said there going to release an new version late september early october, so users might see j2.0 by that time i believe. i cant wait for NB stable. love to see other exciting features.

Just to be clear... In NB we admins can create "private forums" that only admins and moderators have access to so we can discuss actions to be taken on the boards.

You wrote "private profiles" so I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

sorry what i meant was, once the stable of NB is released, ill modify the code to work with profiles that are set to private, either to show post or not to show post. the plugin is nearly complete i have to do some more testing. once its finish, ill work on the code to test against the current NB build with private forums/profiles and such.
