For organizations using Wordpress as their Content Management System (CMS), for their public facing websites and netForum Pro as their Association Management System (AMS), we offer a set of custom solutions that make it almost seamless for your users to work with the Wordpress CMS and netForum PRO AMS, such that it seems like a single User Interface.

Similar to our Joomla Plug-ins, we offer a set of Wordpress CMS plug-ins, that integrate netForum Pro xWeb, eWeb and Wordpress. These plug-ins implement the following set of features into a Wordpress website

  1. Single Sign On (SSO). Allows users with netforum profiles to sign in into the Wordpress website. This provides basic SSO functionality and will create new users in Wordpress if they don't exist. In addition, this also sets certain user attributes using the netForum SSO Tokens, that will let you create cross-site hyperlinks, allowing users to seamlessly move between the Wordpress CMS and Netforum eWeb site.  We releases this plug-in with an open source license and is free to use and can be downloaded here.

  2. Member group Management - Will extend the SSO plugin such that netForum users that have an active membership will be added to special privilege groups in Wordpress. This allows you to restrict certain content to members that have a active membership.
  3. Profile Sync - This plug-in further extends the SSO plug-in, such that the entire user profile is pulled in from netForum and synched with the Wordpress CMS user profile. Any changes to the local user profile in Wordpress CMS is synched back to NetForum. 
We will be happy to customize these plug-ins for your organization or develop other custom functionality for your Wordpress site. Feel free to contact us for more information or any questions.

Avectra netForum Pro Single Sign On

The Avectra netForum Team & Pro Authentication plug-in allows customers in the netForum Team & Pro database to log into a Joomla site based on their web login and password. The authentication works with Avectra xWEB and SSO web services.

The membership status is checked on every login by the user. The netForum SSO token for netForum is stored in the session making it possible to create web links that will allow Joomla users to seamlessly login to netForum without having to enter their credentials a second time.

fusionSpan has also developed a netForum Enterprise Authentication plug-in. E-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.

Joomla 1.7
Installation
1. Install the plug-in using the Joomla administrator interface (Extensions -> Extensions Manager -> Install)
2. Configure the plug-in by
  • Navigating to Extensions -> Plug-in Manager ->Authentication - Avectra NetForum SSO
  • Configure the values for the following
    • Avectra SSO URL - The URL for the netForum SSO web service
    • Avectra xWeb URL - The URL of the xWeb web service
    • Avectra xWeb Username
    • Avectra xWeb Password
    • Sandbox Environment * - Set this to true if you are using the NetForum sandbox environment. User emails are different in the sandbox, which are incompatible with what Joomla will accept.

3. Enable the plug-in and save the settings

 

Now users should be able to logon to your Joomla website using Avectra netForum Team credentials. THere are a couple of PHP session variable available

  • $_SESSION['user_netforum_sso']  is the SSO token that can be used to create Hyperlinks to NetForum which will enable users to move between Joomla and NetForum without having to login twice
  • $_SESSION['user_netforum_memberFlag'] * - is set to True if the User is a NetForum member. This can be used to further prohibit users from seeing certain content in Joomla. We have other plug-ins that synchronize Joomla groups based on the users membership status in NetForum. Feel free to contact us if you want these additional plug-ins. 
 
* Free version of this plugin does not have this feature. These are not required for the basic functioning of the plug-in so please ignore.
