Hi Team:

We are succesfully using JForum with few doubts to be clarified.
This first one in line is as below:

I am writing a jsp with some jazzy stuff in it and need to have a link of the forum in the jsp.
On click of such a link the page shud navigate me to the home page of the forum(list.page) ; meaning on click i need to authenticate the already logged in user and take him to the list.page thus skipping the manual login process of entering the uname and pwd.

can this be done be the normal form submission(appending uname and pwd) practice or is there a ways its done in JForum. How do i go about it?

Please assist me on this.

Thanks in Advance,

NH

Take a look about SSO in the documentation. Also, you can do a search in the forum, as there are a lot of topics about that.

Rafael ,

Thanks for the info. I am looking the SSO options.

However, i would want some help on the entire app flow. meaning how do the web pages navigate in jForum?

if i were to put a jsp with some custom coding and look and feel after the login page , how could i do that? how could i alter the login page itself?
also if have links on this jsp that would take me to differnt forums/ categories could i just put an URL there with the parameters?(this doesnt seem to work as it automatically takes us to the login page on click https://coderanch.com/t/577497 )?

It would be great if you could put some light on these.

have a look at the template/module mapping property files. There you see what "action" and "module" parameter there is
module=forum&action=list for instance
or module=user&action=edit&user_id=? ...

Easy like that. This is aswell required for the case of using the generated spammer-messages when there is new posts for a topic... works quite dandy for me now though

To modify the layout of files you can change the templates. Therefore simply copy the template folder "default", and in the new folder you can modify anything you wish. Then simply change the template_dir parameter to the systemglobals.conf or add this to the jforum_custom.conf file... and voila - you have a whole new customized login page.
