I understand, but think thath sometimes is enough to answer something short, because maybe you don’t want to invest the time.
I mean, FOr what you want, you need:
- Medium PHP knowledge.
- Knowledge (or time to invest on study) about how Joomla Framework works.
Maybe, you can/want to do it anyway, maybe not. For this reason, First, is interesting to ask how you want to bet on this.
One question now. AFAIK Joomla uses MD5/SALT encryption and so SC so isn’t it enough to use SC library to encode/decode password ?
I remember that SC MD5 generated script have had some bugs and I’m not sure it it has been fixed, but I also remember there was some work around which allowed it to work.
SC use a simple MD5 conversion. For Joomla, I had to integrate once to validate users from a Mobile Application against a Joomla 1.5 database, and the formula was something like:
MD5(password+salt):salt
I think this changed. And in our last integration against Joomla Database (this time v3), IIRC, we opted to integrate the framework because is not possible on a easy way to calculate outside it.
Also - do you know how can I read/pass Joomla session variables to SC App ?
Maybe an explanation of how you want to achieve exactly could help me to understand you better. Including Joomla framework and use it’s functions is very straightforward.
User synchronization is not the only issue and it can be eventually resolved with jFUSSION component.
Sorry, I didn’t sync users. I just use Joomla Users table directly.
If you use Joomla how you handle situation when the grid shows 20 records, you show the grid through wrapper, then user changes the records per page from 20- to 100 ?
In that case the wrapper will generate scroll bars or truncate part of the grid making all very unprofessional.
This problem don’t comes from Joomla or SC itself. It’s a “web technology” problem. TO integrate a SC grid on a Joomla page, you must do it using iFrames, and iFrames are not responsive per se. There are ways to make iframes responsive, wrapping the iframe into a div. Check this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014…onsive-design/
If I do not know how to help someone why would I make a post in a first place ? I simply appreciate if those who cannot help or do not know the answer help their posts or opinions to themselves.
I’m also thankful for those who do help in constructive manner. At times I have feeling like some users post messages here just to create traffic but really have no solution.
Anyway I THANK YOU ALL INVOLVED IN THIS TOPIC !
Sometimes one answer to not have a 0 answers topic. I don’t like to left a topic with 0 answers if my time allows me to do. I don’t own the complete knowledge, and I can assure sometimes I have to document a lot about the topic before to answer, or test, and so on…, and finnally, my answer sometimes are not concrete. It all depends the time of everyone.You have to understand too thath we don’t know the knowledge of everyone. Maybe I answer something taking into consideration thath who asked has some web development profile. I can’t dive into very concrete answers due to time obviously, but sometimes, I have the time to do it.
And remember:
How to ask for help? If you expect good answers, ask better questions
If you don’t ask concrete questions, is very hard to help, and you will not get concrete answers.
EDITED:
OK Albert - so how can I mix the SC table with the CMS page content ?
I just readed this. To show a grid, for example, on a Joomla Article, you just have to add an HTML iframe tag calling the grid:
[iframe src="path-to-your-project/gridcustomers/" /]
Change [ and ] symbols with < and >
Probably you have to add this code on HTML code view of the WYSIWYG, and you have to give permissions to the user to use iframe tag.
