Phorum module

• Name: phorum
• Type: Phorum module
• Compatible: Phorum 5.2+
• Last update: 2009-02-13
• Copyright: moovum
• License: GPL 2.0

This is a Phorum module extension (so not a Joomla! module!) that enables bi-directional user management and also bi-directional single sign on between your Joomla! and your Phorum installation.

Along with the Joomla! plugin it provides the following logic:

• Bi-directional user login and logout. This means that when a user logs into Joomla, it also logs you into Phorum. This also works the other way around, logging into Phorum will log you into Joomla. Logout logic works the same.
• Bi-directional user management. When you create/update/delete a user in Joomla! it will be also created in Phorum. Only those fields that are used in both systems will be used (obviously). The same logic works also from within Phorum, a password change will also be implemented in Joomla (as with change of username and mail address).
• New user registration logic of Phorum also works towards Joomla! The user account will only be accessible from within Joomla! after the user has confirmed the registration mail (if configured).

To install the phorum module, just unpack the zipfile, configure and enable. The only fields you need are the absolute path to the Joomla! installation, and a default group assignment for new users within Joomla!

To have it all working, you also need to upgrade the Joomla plugin to version 1.1. If you use the 1.0 version, you will suffer a login/user update recursion problem.

Tip - Why does some HTML get removed from articles in version 1.5.8?

In Joomla! 1.5.8, a default filtering choice is in place for those who have not selected an Article Filter option. The default applied for those who have not made a selection implements "black list" filtering as a security precaution against possible XSS.

Due to this change, you might notice problems trying to save a Youtube video, or embedding other Javascript or Flash objects into your Articles.

If the default filtering option is not suitable for your needs, you can change it by using the Article Global Configuration options.
