Added documentation for code integration

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

I just wrote the documentation about integrating JForum to your Java code. It is available at http://www.jforum.net/doc/ExecutionContext

Is this just for JForum 3 eg SSO? Or does it apply to v 2.1.8 too?

cheers,

really helpful. I tried it quickly and came across following questions/issues.

I tried creating forums programatically.

I have a web application which create the community pages on the fly and provides forums on the page.

The WebRequest object takes HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse as params.

and internally parse the Request object to update the module/action parameters.

As per my understanding, i need to be an admin to peroform this operation.

How can authenticate myself as an admin through the request?

Also, I need to create the forums automatically when user logs in to my web page(which is generated automatically) and my URI doesnt contain module and action parameters.


Can you suggest any workaround for creating the JForumContext()?

Hi steel,

How can authenticate myself as an admin through the request?

I think you can use PermissionControl for authentication... something like this

PermissionControl pc = SecurityRepository.get(userId);
		if (pc.canAccess(SecurityConstants.PERM_FORUM, Integer.toString(forumId))) {
			return (Forum)this.forumsIdMap.get(new Integer(forumId));
		}

but i am not sure
jForum codes is really clear i like that

can i not just access the forum with a url.?

i want to link to more than one forum from my site.?

is it possible to configure jforum so only the forum i am linking to is visible.?
i will need to skin each forum diffeently.

or do i need to run two instances of jforum.?

read through the docs and ahd a look at the admin panel but i still having got a clue how to use this software.
